Benzino has recently admitted to having help writing his Eminem diss track but claims he spit the rhymes and “killed it.” He also said that Royce 5’9” sometimes ghostwrote for Eminem too.
In the video clip, shared few days ago, Zino says: “People ask if somebody else wrote it. Look, I was in the studio, and I was in the studio with some guys and I was writing and they was passing me lines and it was just, yeah, you got the team. It’s alright. I’m sure Eminem is also in the studio with Royce and Royce give him lines. All the amazing lyricists that he has been around, you don’t think they gave him a line or two? It’s hip-hop. It’s okay! Bottom line was, I spit it and the bottom line was, I killed it. And bottom line was, a lot of s–t I’ve been researching for years, as far as the stuff that’s in it. Yeah, of course I wrote that.”
In response, Royce commented on Diverse Mentality‘s Instagram post, saying: “I’m tying to figure out how my name always finds its way into THIS conversation… You getting distracted, Champ.. Focus on the task at hand.. I guess you’re shocking the world right now, so your mind is all over the place .. I understand and I ain’t mad at you. Lemme just clarify 2 things real quick…FIRST: You said “I’m sure when Em is in the studio ROYCE gives him a line here and there” Wrong.. THAT NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.. Not even once… But to each his own…”
Royce continued: ‘SECOND, I’m not at the crib all day “sitting on my money” nor am I paying attention to everything to “Keep up with what’s hot”.. WTF, Do I look like to trying to relate to rappers my son’s age? Hanging out with them at parties and all that… Man.. I hate what this Culture does to our elders…Smh… Rooting this guy on knowing He shouldn’t be this excited about this. He helped create the Source … Goof up the rest of your legacy without me my Bruddah.. I’m good…
But Benzino did not stop. He continues to accuse Royce Da 5’9 of ghostwriting for Eminem and says he has insider information if it needs to be released. He said on Instagram: “I just got word from an insider in Skittles camp that his boot shiner Royce has wrote many tracks for him. His name is even on the songs he wrote. He’s been getting publishing from them. That’s how he eats.”
Benzino continued in the next post on Instagram, saying: “I finally got the proof I needed. Someone in their inner circle just confirmed it. Royce has ghostwroted for your rap god Eminem. Neither one of them p-ssies have responded and when they do I will not only release more diss tracks but I will also release the info I have that proves it. So stay tuned hip-hop, it’s about to go really crazy.”
