Benzino gave his one of his first interviews after a shooting during his mother's funeral.
The rapper and founder of The Source was shot multiple times while en route to his mother's funeral in Boston, MA. The shooter Gai Scott, who is also his nephew has pleaded not guilty to assault with intent to murder.
After the rapper was treated for his wounds, he talked with NE Hip-Hop about the shooting, his mother and Love & Hip Hop.
The reality star says that he is genuinely embarrassed by the whole situation because of his reality show status.
"I'm more embarrassed than anything else, to be honest, " he said. "[Because] I'm a public figure, and then have to see that people are seeing that me and my family [are] going through that, I didn't appreciate that. At the end of the day, my mother is up there with her family."
He also touched on some of his family drama with money possibly being the root of the problem.
"What's transpired over the past 10 years is just really unfortunate," he said. "Money brings the worst out of people."
