In a Twitter video posted by @ihydj_, a video showcased a girl on a phone call. She was heard telling a man- “okay, I’ll text her.” The caption in the video also read- “beno trying to get over a minors house.”
It is important to note that official sources had not confirmed that the voice of the other person on the call aside from the girl is the singer. However, many were assured that it was him.
Reacting to the allegations that have come to light, a netizen commented:
Allegations against Homixide Gang’s Beno explored
Other screenshots of the singer’s alleged conversations where he was exposed for allegedly being a p*dophile also found their way online. In one of the screenshots, it was alleged that the singer told a 17-year-old girl- “I was trying see you but I think your friend was playing.”
Twitter user @leotheactivist also posted a screenshot from Reddit where a platform user opined that people will defend Homixide Gang and their alleged p*edophilic antics purely because they are associated with Playboy Carti.
In another screenshot that showed Instagram direct message notifications, an unknown netizen claimed that certain people were being prompted to go backstage during the band’s concert. Another message read:
“LIKE BENOS BEEN FW UNDERSGED GIRLS THIS AINT THE FIRST TIME IVE SEEN SOME S**T SBY HIM”
Another Reddit user alleged that the music group took two 15-year-olds backstage and also tried to get another teenage girl to go backstage with them. However, the latter declined. The platform user added:
“The girls were obviously underage as well it’s not like they looked old.”
Reddit user u/LoveableJacka*sv4 also uploaded screenshots of a text message exchange where a person alleged that the musician asked a girl if he could be her “side n***a.”
The person also revealed that he would keep track of the girl’s social media activity. The ages of the parties involved were not available in the Reddit post. However, based on the tone of the people who said- “n***a is old as s**t,” it did not seem like the singer's move toward the girl was appropriate.
