What's the problem with Sosa? Benzino recently revealed on an episode of The Gauds Show podcast that he wouldn't want his daughter Coi Leray to date a rapper like Chief Keef. In fact, the former Source magazine co-owner expressed that he'd raise an eyebrow at most rappers trying to date the "Players" hitmaker. Still, those comments didn't necessarily take aim at the Chicago MC as a bad rapper- or person, for that matter. Instead, it seems like Benzino is more concerned with getting along with whoever his daughter decides to date, and the odds of that seem to go down the considering another rap figure.

"If my daughter brought home Chief Keef, my life is f***ed,” the 57-year-old expressed. “And Chief Keef is one of my favorite young artists, ‘I’m a Gorilla in a zoo’ and all that, but I don’t want my daughter with Chief Keef." In addition, he clarified, when asked, that the same goes for rappers like Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole. Actually, scratch that, because he changed his mind on the Dreamville boss.

"Maybe J. Cole,” Benzino stated after thinking about it for a second. “You know what? I wasn’t thinking about J. Cole. I could see me and J. Cole kicking it! Coi in there cooking and me and him sitting watching the game. I could see me and J. Cole doing that … J. Cole a good one.” With that last comment, it's indicated that he just wants the best for Coi Leray. However, as much as the two show each other love, their relationship turned a bit more rocky over the past few years. For example, in a now-deleted tweet, she blasted him after he criticized her name-dropping him on the track "No More Parties."

"And this is why I NEVER WANTED ANYBODY TO KNOW!!!” Coi Leray penned to her father Benzino. “I’M EMBARRASSED TO BE YOUR DAUGHTER. I should have been a boy your right cause I would have knocked you the f**k out already. NUMB TO THE PAIN!! I’m hurting right now but it’s all good. Ima be the one to PUT US RIGHT BACK IN THAT MANSION." Regardless of that spat, log back into HNHH for the latest news on Benzino, Coi Leray, and Chief Keef.
