Back in October VH1 fired Benzino and his fiancee Althea Eaton from Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta. There was no reason given by the network, leaving many people scratching their heads.
Benzino and Eaton had been embroiled in a beef with Stevie J and his woman Joseline Hernandez. That feud came to a head during a brawl at the taping of a reunion show, but let's be honest, the beef was good for ratings.
Althea subsequently filed a lawsuit against Joseline stemming from the brawl. In it she alleges Joseline was high on crack cocaine at the time she attacked her.
New light has been shed on why Zino and Althea were let go. Stevie tells TMZ that the rapper was making death threats to him, Joseline, producers and other staff members.
"He said flat out he was going to kill us," says Stevie.
Benzino denies the accusations. His take on the situation is that VH1 made the decision to keep Joseline, who he describes as a "crack whore," instead of him.
"Stevie J is a habitual liar and VH1 has never given me a reason for being fired," he told TMZ. "They wanted to keep the crackhead whore."
