During an interview Love & Hip Hop reality star Benzino talked about the shooting he was involved in on his way to his mother funeral. Benzino was grazed in the back and shot in the arm by his nephew Gai Scott. The shooting was the result of tension between Benzino and Scott and other family members. The reality star said “I can’t talk too much about that only because of course it’s an investigation still going on…Only thing I wanna say about that as far as live on camera is that my mother was a beautiful, beautiful woman,” Benzino said. “And what’s transpired with her over the last 10 years was just really unfortunate. As far as her—I would have wanted her to retire. And be somewhere on the island and stuff, but things happened. Things happened that was out of my control. I’m in Atlanta and she’s up here. And she has other daughters and nephews and stuff. It’s just—it’s unfortunate. Money brings the worst out of people.” He also said “With my mother not here probably—I just start losing faith in human beings. I just start—because when I grew up it wasn’t like this,” he said. “You know what I’m saying? When I grew up…Just society on a whole. It just, it wasn’t like this. People had genuine love for each other. We live in an age of social media now and it’s no genuine love because you really don’t even know who you talking to half the time…I think with my mom passing and with the things that transpired it’s definitely made me a little bit colder. But then there could be something that happens next week that makes my heart happy again”. There is no known date as to when Benzino would leave the hospital. He will have to have physical therapy on his hand. His nephew Scott is being charged with assault with the intent to murder.
