Benzino did his best to set up a fight with 50 Cent but was unsuccessful.
It looks as though Benzino will have a fight set up in the ring but not exactly with who he wanted. The Love & Hip Hop star has been attempting to get 50 Cent to box him but has been unsuccessful. Instead, he will have to settle for a match with Aaron Carter.
TMZ learned of this arrangement from Celebrity Boxing’s Damon Feldman. The contract has been signed by both men and the fight is scheduled for June 11 at the Charles Dodge Center in Pembroke Pines, FL. There is no exact word on how this fight will be structured.
It is clear that Benzino and 50 Cent have had their issues for awhile now. This includes calling each other snitches when it comes to federal issues. Benzino has called out the rapper but has not gotten the outcome that he wanted. Now, Carter is stepping in on behalf of one of his favorite rappers.
Aaron Carter shared a video on Instagram once this fight was announced.
“Why would you make fun and pick at one of my favorite rappers, 50 Cent. Why would you do that, huh?
“I will meet you in the ring and we can dance and we can have fun. it will be so much fun, right? this is a legend so don’t call yourself a legend. Nobody believes it, you little cry baby.”

This will be the first celebrity boxing match involving Benzino while Carter has competed before. In his first and only match to this point, Carter was knocked out by Lamar Odom in the first round. Carter has remained active on social media and believes he will have an edge in this match.
“A message to BENZINO let’s dance! I fought a giant and ended up with three concussions and was still standing! I’m curious to see how this plays out…. I had the BIGGEST celebrity boxing match EVER w @celebrityboxing1 and Damon So you’re lucky I’m even giving you this platform. MY LAST POST WAS REMOVED but you CANT remove me!! I’m back and this time it’s gonna hurt. @celebrityboxing1 I’ll be waiting for my contract. Have a blessed day 🥀,” aaron carter wrote on instagram.
Aaron Carter believes that his match with Odom will put him in an advantageous position. Benzino will have a chance to get a fight under his belt just in case 50 Cent ever wants to step in the ring. To this point, it seems unlikely.
