Rapper Gets Shot in Drive By In Mom’s Funeral Procession

What? A Rapper got shot in a driveby on the way to bury his dead mom? The Hell You Say! But it’s true. Boston rapper Benzino was just keepin’ it real by being a bullet magnet at a crucial moment of trying to bury his dead mom. Turns out he was shot by a black guy! No really, I swear!

From WCVB here:

A well-known Boston rap star was shot Saturday afternoon during a funeral procession on Route 3 in Duxbury, the Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office said.

Raymond Scott, a rapper and reality television star who goes by the name Benzino, was shot by his nephew, Gai Scott, 36

The two were in the procession heading toward St. Peter’s Church in Plymouth for the funeral of Raymond Scott’s mother.

“At some point when the cars were side by side, Gai Scott fired several shots into the red Dodge SUV being driven by Raymond Scott,” the statement said.

“There were shell casings everywhere,” said Marty Kearns, who was driving on Route 3. “There were four holes up the side of the vehicle which started in the rear and then there were three in the passenger door.”

Raymond Scott got out of his SUV and was taken to the Duxbury police station by a passerby. He was then taken to the hospital.

Benzino is never going to get that hip hop fame by surviving the gunfight. Well, better luck dying next time!
