Benzino recently opened up about a new chapter in his life—becoming a grandfather. During an interview with RealLyfe Productions, the former reality star shared his thoughts on his daughter Coi Leray’s pregnancy with rapper Trippie Redd, expressing a mix of emotions as he processes the news.
“I’m going to be a granddad. Ain’t that something?” Benzino remarked, describing the revelation as “surreal.” He explained that he discovered the news at the same time as the public. While the timing caught him off guard, he’s embracing the joy of welcoming a new generation into his family. Notably, his son is also expecting a child, making this milestone even more special for Benzino. “I’ll be 60 in July, so it took me all this time to be a granddad, man. It’s just surreal.”
Although Benzino acknowledged that he’s never met Trippie Redd, he’s keeping an open mind about his future grandson’s father. “I’ve heard a few of his songs, but I’ve never met him personally,” he shared. “I don’t try to judge based off the Internet, ‘cause Lord knows I hate when they do it to me.”
Despite a strained relationship with Coi, Benzino expressed pride in her and hopes to build a stronger bond over time. “My daughter’s having a baby by Trippie Redd. Like, wow, huh? I mean, I’m going to be a hell of a grandfather,” he said, reflecting on how this experience might bring new understanding to his children about the challenges of parenting.
While Benzino admitted that finding out through the public was “kind of s***ty,” the now grandfather to be is focused on celebrating the moment. Looking ahead, he hopes for a marriage between Coi and Trippie to provide a solid foundation for their child and aims to stay out of Internet drama, prioritizing family over headlines.
