Benzino Faces Backlash Over Resurfaced Cheating Advice to Trippie Redd Amid Coi Leray Drama

Benzino is once again under fire from fans, this time for comments he made about his daughter Coi Leray’s partner, Trippie Redd. Amid rumors that Trippie cheated on Coi after their pregnancy announcement, a resurfaced clip from Benzino’s appearance on the We In Miami podcast has reignited criticism of his strained relationship with his daughter.

In the podcast, Benzino addressed the temptations Trippie might face as a celebrity with an enormous fan base. “Man, they [the groupies] be going crazy,” Benzino said. “He, him as a man, is going to have to come to terms with that, with just him and God. I don’t want to be a hypocrite because I know what I was doing, but she’s my daughter. If you love her and you love the child and you plan on being with her, then… Nowadays with social media, it’s gonna be hard to do any type of cheating. But if you do it, just… Just… Just, you know, be respectful at it.”

Fans were outraged by Benzino’s remarks, interpreting them as tacit approval of infidelity. Critics called him out for failing to unequivocally stand by his daughter and her relationship during such a sensitive time. Many argued that the comments were particularly inappropriate given the swirling cheating allegations against Trippie, spurred by Coi’s cryptic social media post: “Nothing worse than being cheated on. I wouldn’t wish this pain on my worst enemy. God bless.”

In the same podcast appearance, Benzino discussed Coi’s pregnancy, expressing hopes that becoming a mother would lead to personal growth. “It’s gonna grow her up,” he remarked. “Because she’ll finally get to know what it is to be a parent. She’ll get to see first-hand what I was going through.”

Benzino also emphasized the importance of being present in his grandchild’s life, despite his complicated history with Coi. “That baby gon’ know it’s granddad. It’s important for me to get my message to that baby. Regardless of whatever we’re going through, that ain’t got nothing to do with the grandbaby.”

While Benzino’s sentiments about fatherhood may have been well-meaning, fans remain critical of his perceived lack of support for his daughter in light of the recent drama. The controversy highlights ongoing tensions in the relationship between Benzino and Coi Leray, leaving fans divided over his role in her life and decisions.
