Benzino Fires Back at 50 Cent Over Age-Shaming Jab: “Focus on Explaining Diddy & Stevie J to Your Son — Not My Music Career”
The hip-hop world has never been short on drama, but the ongoing feud between Benzino and 50 Cent continues to make headlines, with both rappers exchanging jabs over music, age, and personal accusations. This time, Benzino is firing back at 50 Cent’s latest round of insults, while also challenging the G-Unit mogul to settle their differences in the boxing ring.
Benzino Responds to 50 Cent’s Age-Shaming
The latest spat began when 50 Cent shared a video of Benzino, mocking his age and mental state. Unfazed, Benzino responded with confidence, insisting that he’s still active in music and that 50 Cent should focus on his own affairs before criticizing others. “I’m still making music — worry about your own house first,” Benzino retorted, referencing 50 Cent’s ongoing public commentary about other artists and celebrities.
The Snitching Allegations and a Challenge to Box
One of the most explosive elements of their feud centers around 50 Cent’s accusations that Benzino is a snitch. The claim relates to an incident in which Benzino’s nephew shot him. Benzino clarified the situation in a recent video, explaining that his nephew had already called the police and confessed before Benzino made any statement. Because Benzino refused to name his nephew in court, the nephew received a reduced sentence of 18 months rather than 15 years. “So I don’t give a f k about no Internet. I’m solid,” Benzino declared. He also challenged 50 Cent to a three-round boxing match, dismissing 50’s claims of boxing prowess: “You big and sloppy and too stiff. I don’t believe all that golden glove s t.”
A Feud Rooted in Hip-Hop History
The animosity between the two artists dates back to Benzino’s feud with Eminem, which inevitably drew in 50 Cent, Eminem’s close collaborator. Since then, their conflict has played out mostly through social media, with insults and accusations flying back and forth but rarely escalating into direct confrontations or diss tracks.
50 Cent’s Ongoing Beef with Diddy
While the Benzino feud continues, 50 Cent has also reignited his decades-long rivalry with Sean “Diddy” Combs, especially as Diddy faces serious legal troubles. Diddy is currently on trial for charges including racketeering and sex trafficking, separate from a high-profile civil lawsuit filed by his ex-partner Cassie in November 2023, which accused him of rape and human trafficking (the case was settled for $20 million). Diddy has denied all allegations.

– Further Taunts: 50 Cent has also taken shots at Diddy’s friendship with Jay-Z, referencing rumors and accusations brought up in Cassie’s lawsuit and subsequent trial.

Conclusion
From age-shaming and snitching accusations to challenges for a boxing match, the feud between Benzino and 50 Cent remains as heated as ever, with no signs of resolution.
