Benzino is catching heat over his recent comments about R. Kelly.
According to Zino, the legal age of consent is 16, so Kelly should not be sentenced to 30 years in prison for sleeping with girls just a year or two below the age limit.
“Everybody deserves a second chance. The legal age is 16 years old, so does that make it right if a n-gga does it, yes or no?” he asked on the We In Miami podcast.
“Alright, but it’s legal in America, so why the fuck is R. Kelly doing all this time? Because you know why? Because they’re 14 and 13, two years younger, but you don’t think that the people who cleared it for 16 years old didn’t know that they’re fucking with 13s and 14s, too. Like even to make [an] age that young to be the law, you already know they’re going under that. I’m not condoning n-ggas f-cking with little girls. It’s sick, alright, it’s sick, it’s sick, but I don’t think R. Kelly should rot in jail for 30 years either,” he continued.
Zino argued that prosecutors did not take Kelly’s abuse as a child into consideration when handing down the sentence.
