"LAHH ATL" star Benzino is speaking out for the first time since the shooting that sent him to the hospital. More inside....
Over the weekend, we reported about the shooting that sent "LAHH ATL" star Benzino to the hospital and now, he's speaking out and sharing what he thinks led to the incident.
When asked by WXIA in Atlanta about a motive for the shooting, Zino placed blame on his nephew, Gai Scott, saying
"In the past I felt like, yes, I felt like my sister and my nephew was taking advantage of my mother. Yes. I spoke up about it years ago. There had been loans taken out on her house."
In other new developments, Gai was taken into custody and charged with assault with intent to murder. He is scheduled to be arraigned today in the Plymouth District Court.
We also reached out to Dave Mays, Benzino's longtime friend and co-founder of The Source, who told us, "Zino is good. Thanks a lot for reaching out. He's resting now he will probably have surgery tomorrow (Monday). We really appreciate your thoughts and prayers."
In the photo atop, Benzino was visited by singer Thi Thi (whom he refers to as the love of his life) and his kids. He captioned,"#familyfirst RAYRAY, COI LERAY, TAJ RAYMOND ALL ME!"
UPDATE:
Benzino’s nephew, Gai Scott, appeared in court today and entered a “not-guilty” plea. According to his attorney, Gai shot Benzino in self-defense. Gai is being held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing.
