Benzino has claimed that he “cooked” Eminem with his recent diss songs aimed at the rap legend.
In a livestream discussing their recently reignited feud, which has been going back and forth on and off for over 20 years, Benzino claimed victory over Eminem.

“I ate his shit up. I cooked him,” he said. “Back in the day, he cooked me. But what you stans is not gonna do, what you teens is not gonna try to do is come here and be like, I didn’t affect him. Stop it. Because that shows that y’all ain’t real Hip Hop fans. That shows that y’all are biased and probably halfway racist.
“If it’s dope shit, give it up. Just like my people give it up to him. Stop being racist, white people. If it’s dope and I rip then say it. A lot of you guys already are. Salute to the stans that are in my DM saying, ‘Listen Zino, I’m an Em fan but that song is dope.'”
Benzino then claimed that he was going to carry on dissing Eminem throughout the rest of 2024.
The former publisher of The Source magazine also denied that he used a ghostwriter for his diss tracks.

“I don’t wanna hear that ghostwriter shit. This is Hip Hop, bro. I don’t wanna hear that ghostwriter shit,” he snapped. “Shut the fuck up, bro. You mad because I’m spitting. I wrote that shit.”
Benzino was replying to online rumors that Cassidy ghostwrote his diss tracks, with some Eminem fans pointing out similarities in cadence and flow.
The 58-year-old also addressed criticism from Icewear Vezzo after the Detroit rapper was unhappy at being mentioned in his diss track “Rap Elvis.”
“And salute to Icewear Vezzo. Icewear, it wasn’t no problems, bro,” he said. “I just only mentioned what you mentioned. You said he’s not turning the city up, he’s not looking out for the young guys. I just mentioned that ’cause he ain’t. Oh, well.”

After originally beefing in the early ’00s, Eminem resurrected his feud with Benzino last week by taking numerous shots at him on his latest single “Doomsday Pt. 2.”
His old rival has since replied with two tracks of his own, “Vulturious” and the aforementioned “Rap Elvis.”
