Benzino says he would win in a match against 50 Cent
Benzino made another appearance in the folk We in Miami podcast, which premiered Wednesday (April 24) on their YouTube channel. During their conversation, host Slim Stunna asked Benzino who he would like to spar more between Eminem, 50 Cent or Joe Budden. Right off the bat, Zino said he'd love to put Em up because it would be a nice payday for both of them if it actually happened.
When asked about his chances with 50 Cent in the boxing ring, Benzino boasted that he could beat the New York rhymer on the field. The former rapper-turned-reality star believes that since Phife suffered facial injuries from his 2000 shooting incident where he was shot nine times, this would make him susceptible to a punch to the face.
“Yes, I'm thinking like in a boxing match, like if we [were] to box in a few months and train, hell yeah, fuck 50, hell yeah,” he said six minutes into the video below.
Benzino added that he could beat 50 Cent in a road race as well.

Benzino challenges Eminem to a face-to-face Rap Battle
Benzino may not be taking on Eminem in the boxing ring, but he's still challenging the Detroit rhymer to a lyrical battle on the mic.
On April 14, Benzino spoke to TMZ about his rap nemesis and their ongoing feud. The Boston native feels that after the release of his diss track “Rap Elvis,” he's confident he can go bar-to-bar with Em.
“At this point, after 'Rap Elvis,' I think I can go head-to-head with him,” Zino said in the video below. “I'm willing to do it. I'm willing to challenge him here on TMZ. Face to face, three rounds. I believe I can take him.”
“Now, when we were fighting, I probably wouldn't say that 20 years from now,” he continues. “But since then, I've mastered my craft and I'm in the best lyrical shape of my life. I'm ready to fight Eminem. And I think that's going to be great for hip-hop.”
