Benzino slammed after comparing with Drake in a viral post Tuesday (July 1), which had a shirtless photo side by side accusing the blog of using his image.
“Next time you post a photo I compared me to @Drake, make sure you don’t use Photoshops on the internet,” he wrote on social media. “I can use a bunch of painted gym photos here. Note that I’m going to be 60 in 2 weeks, so make sense for you.”

Benzino has always been candid about his dedication to staying healthy and active. In a 2024 interview, he opened his way back to the gym after a six-month break.
“I’ve been going to the gym like I used to be,” he said. “It feels great. There’s nothing these young people doing things I can’t do, and it feels good alone.”
Benzino also believes that hip-hop culture helps him stay young mentally and physically.
“Hip-hop really keeps us young,” he said. “Without hip-hop, we might be much bigger than we portrayed.”
