Benzino's 20+ year beef with Eminem continued to rage on after the two recorded diss tracks aimed at one another earlier this year.

Benzino touched on the beef while sitting down with "Drink Champs," where he displayed a range of emotions while speaking about the situation. Benzino stated, "F*** Eminem and f*** everybody down with Eminem. My thing is this, that n***a won’t face me."

He added, "I know he ain’t gone fight me. I know that, but how about I’ll battle that n***a … How about we put this to bed, three round battle, where me and him battle rap, we have minutes, and we battle. How about that? Just battle, no violence. After that we can hug it out and let this s*** be over."

Things later took an emotional turn, as Benzino explained that he wanted to put the beef to bed, "I don’t have nothing against Eminem. Em can rap, but I care about us more. I don’t want to talk about it no more."

Benzino went on to say, "For 22 years, every time I do an interview they ask me about Eminem. The f*** you want me to do? Come on, man. I love my daughter, I raised my daughter like any other street n***a …My daughter came to into the industry figuring that ‘Hey, I gotta be cool with Eminem because everybody’s against my dad.’ You think this s*** is f***ing cool? Nah, man. We’re failing as a people."
