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.”
