Benzino talks to his girlfriend in a viral video
The viral clip shows Benzino on the floor of a house, screaming and in an extremely emotional state. In the clip, his alleged girlfriend films him while he says: “I’ll tell them no, okay?“ and “Stop”. At some point Benzino gets up from the floor and sits in a corner, apparently still crying. You can also still hear the woman saying: “Just give me the knife.” She even screams “No” when Benzino appears to be holding a knife and then proceeds to tell him “I’ll let them know you’re quiet and then call them back.” In the video, people thought Benzino was trying to harm himself as he allegedly held the knife close to his throat.
After the video circulated online, Benzino took to Instagram to clarify what happened in the clip. He let everyone know that he was “fine” and that the video was just “a rehearsal for a Tubi film.”
“My girl helped me, we read the script and it was a rehearsal for a Tubi film. “That was a scene for a Tubi movie,” the rapper explained.
Additionally, Benzino denied the assault allegations and said he would never lay a hand on a woman. Furthermore, he made it clear that he would never do anything that could hurt himself.
“I’ve never done that in my life. That’s for cowards. And I certainly wouldn’t do anything that could hurt me. So, kudos to all the people who were concerned. I’m fine,” he continued.

Social media users flooded The Shade Room’s comments section with reactions to Benzino’s claims. Many think he lied and said they would believe it when the Tubi movie came out.
