Benzino roared angryly on the “big Dookie chain” podcast after the host suggested that he “fuck” the management of Source Magazine.
The former hip-hop tycoon burst into ballistics when the podcast host mentioned criticism of Benzino’s tenure in the publication.
During the intense exchange, Benzino lashed out loud, shouting, “You don’t sit here and talk about the f### I groped out. Take the f###. What did you grop?”
The host tried to calm the situation down, claiming that he gave Benzino “no praise except having a source,” but Benzino did not buy it. Instead, he mocked the host and accused him of intentionally causing controversy.
“Man, listen, man. I saw it coming. You want to do that. You feel like you didn’t do it last time.
As the host tried to end the segment, Benzino shot backwards with a blunt insult, telling him: “e ###########.”

In another clip from the same podcast, Benzino continues to vent his frustration.
“You’re a fan of what I do,” he said. “I don’t like what you do. I try to be, but you exudes an atmosphere of hatred.”
Benzino also took the opportunity to throw a shadow on his long-time enemy, Eminem.
Benzino has long been criticized for allegedly using the magazine to promote his music, especially his 1999 album Classic Limited Edition has a suspiciously high rating.
Benzino’s involvement with sources began in 1996 when he became co-owner with founder Dave Mays.
It was not until after 2003 that Benzino’s influence on the editorial decision sparked opposition from rappers and industry insiders that their partnership was revealed.
The credibility of this magazine has suffered amid the growing competition between Benzino and Eminem’s hatred and rival publications.
Eventually, Benzino and Mays were ousted from the source, leaving behind the once useful hip-hop magazine, who worked hard to restore their former reputation.
Benzino defends his legacy
Despite the criticism, Benzino defended his legacy on the podcast and said “I don’t want to hear ###”, an allegation of mismanagement.
“Everyone has something, maybe something happens,” he asserted. “I have 18 years, made millions of dollars and did S### all over the world. You can’t tell me S###.”
