Benzino returned to the booth to fire back at Eminem following the Detroit rapper's scathing diss track.
On Sunday, January 28, the former owner of The Source decided to hit back at Eminem with his own diss track over JAY-Z's "Where I'm From." Much like Em, 'Zino keeps it brief while going nuclear on the Shady Records founder with references to his past beefs with Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. He suggests that Em's ex Kim Mathers go after the rapper "like Cassie did Puff" and even brings up Coi Leray again.
"Square ain't even go circle the block for Proof," Benzino raps. "And the truth, my daughter had a life that I never had/I'm probably more Boston George than America's Dad/But I provide food, clothes, gifts kept you excited/Now you let the industry Willie Lynch, keep us divided."
The response comes days after Eminem took aim at Benzino in his song "Doomsday Pt. 2." His song on Cole Bennett's All Is Yellow has Em dissing 'Zino like its the early 2000s. The Real Slim Shady ranked on 'Zino's neck (or lack thereof according to Em) and fired stray shots at his daughter Coi.
"Well, I guess then I regret to inform you, hate to spoil the day/But this doesn't bring me no joy to say," Em raps. "Guess that Coi Leray feat's in the toilet, ayy?/Damage due to flows, collateral, I s'pose."
It's not clear whether or not Eminem will respond to Benzino. In the past, the pair would go back and forth on wax. However, in recent years, Em has been focused on dissing other artists from Machine Gun Kelly to podcasters like Joe Budden.
