Benzino Admits He Had Help Writing Eminem Diss Track

Last week, Eminem threw a few jabs at Benzino on his track “Doomsday Pt. 2,” insinuating that he’s gay and making fun of his neck. As expected, this reignited their decades-long feud, and The Source icon reacted by dropping a response, “Vulturius.” He didn’t stop there, however. He later went on to unveil a second diss track, “Rap Elvis,” in which he accuses Eminem of being a culture vulture.

While which one of the rappers came out on top remains up for debate, Benzino is convinced that he won their beef. According to him, however, he didn’t do it alone. During a recent Instagram Live, he discussed his Eminem diss tracks, revealing that he got some help writing them.

Benzino Says, “The Bottom Line Was I Killed It”

“Look, I was in the studio, and I was in the studio with some guys and I was writing and they was passing me lines,” he begins. “Yeah, you have a team. It’s alright, I’m sure Eminem is in the studio with Royce and Royce gave him lines. All of the amazing lyricists that he’s been around, you don’t think that they ain’t give him a line or two? It’s hip-hop, it’s okay. The bottom line was I spit it, and the bottom line was I killed it. And the bottom line was that a lot of that sh*t, I’ve been researching for years.”

Regardless of what critical commenters have to say, Benzino remains confident. During another recent Instagram Live, he bragged about having “cooked” Slim Shady, though he admits that he also got cooked “back in the day.” What do you think of Benzino saying that he had help writing his Eminem diss track?

Nicki Minaj Puts Ghostwriters On Notice Ahead Of “Red Ruby Da Sleeze”

Nicki Minaj is revving up for the release of her new single this Friday. The singer announced the single, “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” during her appearance in Trinidad during Carnival. It marks the first solo single from the Queens rapper following her first chart-topping hit, “Super Freaky Girl.” More importantly, it appears to be the official launch of the rollout for her follow-up to Queen. It’s been nearly five years since her last album and fans have had an insatiable appetite for more music from Nicki.

Following the release of the new single, she’ll return to the airwaves for Queen Radio. It seems as though her upcoming broadcast could provide more details on not just the song, but her upcoming album. Hopefully, she’ll reveal a title or at least a timeframe of when we could expect the project to land on DSPs. At the same time, we could certainly expect Nicki to air out some of her grievances. Only time will tell but fans are counting down the clock until midnight until Nicki unloads her upcoming single.

Nicki Minaj Warns Ghostwriters

With the new single expected to drop in less than 12 hours, Nicki Minaj has fans across the world anticipating her return. Nicki’s status as the Queen of Hip-Hop has undoubtedly been tested over the years as several individuals alleged that she uses a ghostwriter. Since Nicki’s emerged, she’s taken pride in the fact that she pens her own bars, and as we’ve seen in the past, the use of a ghostwriter can take a toll on an artist’s overall reputation.

As she hyped the release of her new single, she unveiled a Chun-Li-inspired photoshoot before putting ghostwriters on notice. “Tmrw night,” Nicki captioned the picture. “Ghostwriters all around the world are scrambling Just watch. Nicki still on hiatus. This b!@ch right her tho? She outside.” Nicki’s clearly readying to clear the room with her upcoming single but will it help her attain another #1 on the Billboard Hot 100? Only time will tell. Check out her post above and let us know what your thoughts are in the comment section.
