A come to Jesus moment for Benzino

The Reality TV
star and rapper “Benzino” of Hip Hop Atlanta was shot while in procession at his
mother’s funeral in Massachusetts by his own nephew,
Gai Scott. Different sources are reporting
that tension has been building between the two men for a while now.
Mr. Gai Scott is
36 and Raymond Scott aka Benzino is 48; clearly there’s a lack of respect
between the two men but where’s the respect for the dead? Truth is… funerals can bring out the worse in
anybody because we all grieve differently.
I’m just not over the part that he shot his uncle during a funeral but then
if you don’t respect the living how can you respect the dead?
The one positive
thing I can say from reading about this ordeal is that if this young man wanted
his uncle dead, he would be dead. He had
clear opportunity to do so. I don’t
think he wanted to kill him but he definitely wanted to send him a
message. Mr. Raymond Scott will
eventually heal from the gunshot wound to his arm but this internal family tragedy
will probably never mend and that’s sad to me.
Mr. Gai was taken
into custody and charged with assault with intent to kill. Look! Benzino
was just shot in the arm and I think… I read something about a bullet grazing
his back. A passerby picked him up and
took him to the police station and then he was transported to the
hospital. He twitted a few pictures of
his injury. You know whose face was all
up in the picture, right? Stevie J! There’s also a very nice picture of him and
his mother together, if you’re curious as to what she looks like. I’m nosy.
Laugh out loud!
I know what it’s like to grieve the passing of
someone that you loved with your whole heart and he’s still mourning the loss
of his mother, who passed away March 20 of this year. The tragedy is that he now has to face the
fact that his own nephew tried to kill him.
I think that’s going to be very challenging for him because he has such
a strong personality.
This is your
girl, Lady PJ, much love to you all.
