In an unexpected twist in the world of hip-hop, Benzino has expressed heartfelt congratulations to Eminem on becoming a grandfather, leaving fans of both artists stunned.
Eminem, the iconic rap artist, recently learned he is going to be a grandfather. The revelation came through his daughter, Hailie Jade, in a music video for his song ‘Temporary.’ She surprised him with a custom Detroit Lions jersey that read ‘Grandpa #1’ and a sonogram of her unborn baby.
Eminem’s revelation drew widespread reaction, but none as surprising as Benzino’s. Despite their long-standing feud, Benzino shared his kind words on Instagram Live. ‘Even though he said, “Nobody wants to hear their grandfather rap,” I still want to send out a congratulations to Eminem and his daughter Hailie on the news.’
The history between Eminem and Benzino has been nothing short of explosive. Their feud reignited recently with Eminem’s track “Doomsday Pt. 2,” where he took jabs at Benzino’s financial troubles and personal life. Benzino responded with diss tracks of his own, yet sentiments have shifted with the news of Eminem’s forthcoming grandchild.
Benzino’s recent comments mark a noteworthy change from earlier this year, when tensions were high. ‘I think this is a good time to put this behind us and let’s try to enjoy life,’ he mentioned. It seems the prospect of new life has encouraged Benzino to extend an olive branch.
In a gesture of goodwill, Benzino added, ‘Congratulations to Eminem and Hailie, and let me know what the baby’s gonna be, because I definitely will send a gift for the baby shower, man.’ It’s a rare moment of peace between two former rivals, possibly signaling a shift in their ongoing narrative.
The unexpected positive words from Benzino hint at a possible thaw in one of hip-hop’s most heated rivalries, showcasing that life’s joyful moments can bring out the best even among old foes.
