The longstanding feud between Benzino and Eminem shows no signs of simmering down as Benzino, in a recent episode of The Art of Dialogue, boldly proclaimed himself as the “Eminem Slayer.”
During the interview, Benzino referred to his diss track, “Rap Elvis,” released in late January, as evidence of his victory over Eminem.
“‘Rap Elvis’ already destroyed [Eminem],” Benzino asserted. “I already killed him with ‘Rap Elvis.’ Where’s he at? Where’s the response? I want to battle him face-to-face. I think he’s overrated, I think he sucks as a rapper.”
The Boston native went on to express his disdain for Eminem, declaring, “But right now, it’s fuck Eminem. I stand on everything I said.” He also took aim at Eminem’s fanbase, labeling them as the “softest, most cuddly hip-hop fans out there” and dismissing them as no threat.

In a candid moment, Benzino addressed his emotional outburst during a recent Drink Champs interview, where he broke down in tears.
“I’ve cried before,” he admitted. “I got no problem crying. I need to cry because it helps me from probably not hurting somebody. It probably helps me from not hurting myself or people around me.”
Despite his strong words, Benzino later softened his stance on Eminem, acknowledging his rap prowess. “I don’t have nothing against Eminem. Em can rap,” he said tearfully. “I don’t want to talk about it no more.”
The ongoing feud between Benzino and Eminem traces back to Eminem’s mention of Benzino and Coi Leray on his track “Doomsday Pt. 2” from Lyrical Lemonade’s compilation album, All Is Yellow. The release of Benzino’s “Rap Elvis” served as a direct response to Eminem’s lyrical jabs.
