Benzino and 50 Cent are in the middle of a contentious e-battle after the television executive accused the Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta personality of having a relationship with a trans woman named Shauna Brooks. Benzino allegedly told 50 Cent “fuck you” in a series of Instagram posts while clowning Coi Leray’s low album sales, but he later claimed his account was hacked.
“That n-gga’s a rat and a pussy in my book,” he said. “He’s an informant and he has no morals, and he has no really good judgement. The n-gga’s a multi-millionaire and he’s posting shit about me that ain’t true. Fuck that n-gga. And I’ll stick my dick in his girl’s mouth, and then we can see who’s a tranny. Like, I don’t play those games, bro. Fuck that n-gga.”
Benzino continued accusing 50 Cent of snitching back in the day with, “He’s a rat. The n-gga been on papers. My n-gga, he snitched on Ja Rule and them a long time ago. If you don’t want the paperwork then you can’t say he’s not a rat.”
50 Cent was quick to respond to Benzino’s rant and shared a clip of the interview to his Instagram account with the caption, “The fvck is wrong with ya jaw Boy, The worlds not ready for that @iambenzino gives Shawn-Na. LOL.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Benzino explained the initial clips 50 Cent uploaded in which he’s having a conversation with Brooks were edited to reflect poorly on him.
“That Shauna Brooks thing was like three years ago,” Benzino said. “Now, let’s just have common sense alright? If I was fucking with a transgender and I was on the phone with ’em, don’t you think that that conversation would be all nasty as fuck? I’m saying, yeah, that lifestyle, I’m not used to. I’m not used to talking to a transgender.”
The latest back-and-forth began when Young Buck did an interview pointing the finger at 50 Cent for his dire financial situation earlier this week. Less than 24 hours after Buck blamed the G-Unit leader for forcing him into bankruptcy, 50 Cent went after both Buck and the former Source publisher.
“Young Buck, Benzino just embrace who you are but don’t pat nobody butt when they score a basket fool,” he wrote. “LOL Hahaha, Nah. FOR REAL! PUNK!”
Benzino supposedly fired back, “Keep pushing my buttons boy @50Cent. You not getting anymore Crab Trap hookups.” He continued, “Hey fuck you @50Cent. So @50cent wanna clown me for fucking with the trans community? Someone ask him why Power got gay as hell this season. Yo @50Cent I heard you watch all those Drew and Everett scenes back each week.”
The 56-year-old later claimed he was hacked and vowed to get revenge on whoever stole his Instagram account.
