Benzino, 48, and his cousin Gai Scott reportedly got into an argument in the funeral procession. The funeral went on as planned, while Benzino was rushed to the hospital for a gunshot wound to the right arm, reported TMZ. When the limo and hearse arrived, they were both bloodstained.

Benzino took to Instagram Sunday morning to share that he was recovering, mentioning his mother. “Feel much better,” he captioned a picture of himself in the hospital. “GOD IS REAL @luvheraltheaheartis my SOULMATE……. MY MOTHER TOUCHED ME, IM CERTAIN.”

Scott, who is said to have shot at Benzino from behind the wheel of his Bentley and into Benzino’s Dodge SUV, has been taken into custody, reported the New York Daily News. He’s been charged with armed assault with attempt to murder. Scott will be arraigned on Monday in Plymouth District Court.

It’s unknown what Benzino and Scott were arguing about.
