Hip Hop legend Ray Benzino is caught up in a situation.
Yesterday, Media Take Out reported that Atlanta police announced that they were issuing a “fugitive” warrant for Zino. Benzino allegedly damaged the car belonging to the boyfriend of the mother of his child after a verbal confrontation, during a July 2020 incident.
On May 23, he announced he’ll surrender to the police after being named a fugitive following a warrant issued for his arrest.
Benzino recently spoke on the legal battle. He said, “I was kind of arguing with the guy she was with at the time. He continued, “Long story short, the case was like two years ago, and somebody put that old video up and it got me kind of arguing with him.”
Benzino said he missed a zoom court date because he tested positive for COVID. It’s not clear if Benzino is currently in police custody.
The entertainment mogul has had a bunch of run ins with police. In 2015, he attempted to board Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport with a loaded gun and was arrested. In 2017, Georgia police got a warrant to search his home and discovered 22 grams of THC oil gummies, six MDMA pills, and less than an ounce of weed. As a result, he was arrested and charged with felony drug possession. In 2017, Benzino was arrested for an outstanding warrant after failing to show up to court for a traffic violation.
