Benzino has stated that he’s the rationale that Andre 3000 made his now-infamous 1995 Supply Awards speech — and he’s able to come clean with his errors.
The previous Supply co-founder continued his mea culpa tour when he stopped by Ray Daniels’ GAUDS — Goats and Underdogs — podcast. The total episode, which dropped immediately (April 10), featured Benzino giving all of the tea on how he managed to piss off the previous OutKast frontman.
“The rationale why André 3000 stated what he did, I’ma have to inform y’all this story,” he stated. “After they was giving OutKast 4.5 mics, I keep in mind, I didn’t perceive it. I didn’t perceive the music. And I used to be the one who kinda raised some conditions up at The Supply, I’m gonna admit it. And I used to be fallacious. I believe it bought to OutKast. And I believe that’s why André stated what he stated. I believe that was kinda directed towards me.
Benzino was referring to Andre 3000’s notorious speech on the 1995 Supply Awards. After OutKast received the coveted Greatest New Rap Group Award, the Grammy winner — unfazed by the prevalent East Coast-West Coast rap beef that was casting a severe undertone to this and different awards ceremonies — strutted as much as the mic and stated, “Nevertheless it’s like this although: I’m uninterested in people, — them closed-minded people. It’s like we bought a demo tape and don’t no person wanna hear it. Nevertheless it’s like this, the South bought somethin’ to say. That’s all I bought to say.”
“I believe I made a mistake and I shouldn’t have,” he continued. “Often, I bow out of the entire five-mic factor. The 5 mics was so robust that we let the journalists handle that. The Supply was enterprise over right here and the journalists over right here. We might let the journalists handle that; the writers, the photographers. It was a gaggle of them and they’d sit in a room and the labels would ship the albums and they’d fee them. It was one of many important issues, the 5 mic system. One time, me and certainly one of them bought right into a debate about OutKast as a result of I didn’t perceive at the moment that music. And I used to be fallacious.”

However Benzino didn’t simply restrict his no-holds-barred method to his previous unhealthy conduct on now-defunct awards exhibits.
Earlier within the episode, he spilled the beans on how he tried to stop his daughter, Coi Leray, from smoking weed.
Benzino defined that when his daughter needed to smoke some weed one time, he needed to make a judgment name in instructing her a lesson.
“She’s about 15, 16, basically,” he begins the clip. “And she or he’s smoking — I’m like, rattling, I don’t need her to smoke. So it’s like, man, I don’t wanna be the unhealthy man.”
Daniels’s co-host, Tamira Smith, jumped in with a query of her personal. “What age did you begin smokin’?” she asks.
“13,” Benzino replies, earlier than Daniels interjects with: “However you need your youngsters to be higher than you!”
“You’re proper,” the previous Supply editor says. “It’s referred to as essential hypocrisy.”
