In an exclusive revelation on The Breakfast Club, Benny The Butcher, the acclaimed rap artist, unveiled the unsettling truth about his ongoing struggle with law enforcement. Despite his rise to rap stardom and a major-label record deal, Benny shared that he is currently on the FBI watchlist. The rapper opened up about being harassed by Buffalo police and the shocking raid on his studio just two months ago.
During the interview with Charlamagne Tha God, Benny expressed his frustration, stating, “I do feel like I’m being harassed [by police in Buffalo]. They raided my studio about two months ago.” The artist emphasized the severity of the situation by showcasing footage of armored trucks and SUVs outside his studio, leaving him displaced for over two months.
Benny clarified that the authorities weren’t after him personally, as they knew his residence, but the incident raised concerns about the extent of surveillance he faced. “This shit is wicked,” he declared, shedding light on the challenges he encounters despite his success.
Suspecting that his social media accounts were under scrutiny, Benny shared, “I’m pretty sure when I see who’s watching my [Instagram] Stories, the pages with no profile, I know that’s Agent Dan somewhere. I’m not a fool.” The artist hinted at the paranoia he experiences due to constant surveillance.
HipHopDX reached out to the FBI’s Buffalo office for comment, but no response has been received at the time of this writing. Benny’s revelation adds a layer of complexity to his already turbulent journey, raising questions about the price of fame in the hip-hop industry.
