In a surprising turn of events, Benzino has publicly called for an end to his long-standing feud with Eminem following the announcement that Eminem is set to become a grandfather.

A moment of reflection
Benzino took to Instagram to share his congratulations with Eminem, expressing a desire to move past their differences. In his heartfelt video, he acknowledged the irony of Eminem’s previous comments about being a grandfather and the music industry. He stated, “Somebody found out that they’re going to be a grandfather, and the irony is … even though he said, ‘Nobody wants to hear their grandfather rap,’ I still wanna send out a congratulations to Eminem and his daughter Hailie on the news that she is about to give birth, and he’s about to be a grandad.”
Time for reconciliation
During his message, Benzino emphasized the importance of peace and reconciliation, suggesting that this moment could be a turning point for both artists. He remarked, “I think this is a good time to put this behind us and let’s try to enjoy life and try to make some type of statement right now. I’m not doing this for no joke; I truly want to congratulate him and his daughter.”
Benzino further expressed his hopes for the future, stating, “I’m not one yet, but I’m sure that day will come, and I’ll be proud just like he is. With all the craziness that’s going on, we need some peace; we need a statement, so we can move forward. There it is.”
Sending best wishes
Concluding his message, Benzino extended his best wishes to Eminem and Hailie, even offering to send a gift for the baby shower. He said, “Congratulations to Eminem and Hailie, and let me know what the baby’s gonna be ’cause I definitely will send a gift for the baby shower, man. I’m sure you’ll make a great grandfather. Love, bro.”
