Benzino Wants to ‘Holler’ at Trippie Redd Amid Coi Leray’s Pregnancy

Reports indicate that Benzino has reflected on his grandparenthood. Recently, Coi Leray and Trippie Redd rang in the new year with a pregnancy announcement. Though father and daughter remain estranged, Benzino appeared cheerful in a preview of the We in Miami Podcast. Benzino stated joyfully, “I’m gonna be a grandfather.” “I just found out when everybody else found out.”

The mogul elaborated, “It’s gonna grow her up. I hope it does, because she’ll finally get to know what it is to be a parent. She’ll get to see firsthand what I was going through.”

Nonetheless, the media mogul and rapper was questioned about Leray’s stance on granting access to his grandchild.

He said, “Our story, since it’s been on the internet, has always been kind of, you know, a little bit awkward to say the least.” “Nobody really understood my relationship with my daughter before she was a rap star.” Benzino continued, “Believe me, that baby gonna know its granddad.” “It’s important for me to get my message to that baby regardless of whatever we going through. That ain’t got nothing to do with the grandbaby. And like I said, she gonna want him to have that MVP, those morals, values, and principles, and that’s gonna be his granddad. And you know Trippie’s pops, and his mom.”

Benzino revealed he’d “love to holler” at Trippie Redd, a notable change from his previous position before announcing Leray’s pregnancy. He voiced, “Back then I didn’t wanna meet him. Anybody that’s just fooling around with my daughter, I’m not even trying to meet him. But now he’s having a child, so I would like to.” “Congratulations, you know, let him know that there’s no type of animosity this way.”
