Rapper Benzino Shot During His Mother's Funeral By His Nephew

According to law enforcement officials, rapper and "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Benzino was shot on his way to his mother's funeral service in Massachusetts on Saturday by his own nephew Gai Scott.


Benzino, whose real name is Raymond Scott, was taken to a local hospital with non-fatal injuries.

Benzino, 48, was wounded after an altercation broke out between family members in the funeral procession making its way through the streets of Duxbury just before noon.




According to the Plymouth County District Attorney's office: "There has been growing family tension between Raymond Scott and Gai Scott."

At one point, as family members were heading to St. Peter's Church, two vehicles were side-by-side when Scott fired at Benzino.

According to several reports, the hearse carrying the dead and a limo filled with relatives was covered with blood when it arrived at the funeral.





Cops busted Benzino's nephew, 36-year-old Gai Scott, and charged him with assault with intent to murder.
