Damn, Already? Celebs Who’ve Gotten Mixed-Up In Controversy Since the Start of the New Year

Benzino Totes Heat on a Flight

Ever since Benzino joined the cast of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, he’s been in the news more than a stripper goes to church. Wednesday (Jan. 27) was no different. While preparing to board a flight at Hotlanta’s Hartsfield Jackson International Airport, Zino was arrested for allegedly trying to smuggle a loaded nine milli (along with seven rounds of ammo) on the flight in his carry-on.

He was held and eventually released on a weak $3,000 bail. The Source mag’s ex co-owner clarified the details on his Instagram the next morning, stating that the gun was legally registered in his name and anybody thinking that he intentionally tried to sneak the 9mm on his flight needs to be slapped. (He should start with himself.)
