(CelebNMusic247) Love & Hip Hop Atlanta‘s Benzino Seeks Forgiveness From Eminem.

Benzino has once again revisited his early 2000s feud with hip hop star Eminem in an interview with Global Grind.

The Hip Hop Weekly CEO shared his regret at the incident, admitting that he felt somewhat untouchable while he was the head of The Source magazine.

Benzino said that he took things too far during the much-publicized beef.

“When the Eminem situation happened, I was just on top and I didn’t have to answer to nobody.”

“When you’re on top and even with a lot of people in New York [and] even with labels, you still have to answer to somebody. Me and Dave [Mays, co-founder] was [at The Source], and at that point, I wanted to prove to everybody like, ‘Listen, I’m the one running this here and I can do this without reservation’…it was a mistake for me getting involved in the situation with Eminem.”

Benzino continued:

“The Eminem thing started getting uglier and uglier, and of course I can take responsibility for some of the stuff I said as far as directly towards his family, you know, really personal shots.”

“It was out-of-order. I believe some of the stuff that he said was out-of-order also, but at the end of the day, it’s all fair in war…if I could do it over again, I definitely would. Eminem was and still is a major force. Hip Hop has brought cultures together – Asian, Latino, Black, White – and I should have been more responsible…[If I met him today] first I’d want to apologize for the Hailie [Em’s daughter] references.”
