Benny The Butcher was a recent guest on the Big Facts podcast, and he talked about being shot in the leg while in Houston last year

The rapper was heading into a Walmart at the time when a group of men approached him and demanded cash and jewelry. Some reports say he was slow to hand over his goods, so he was shot.

In his interview, Benny said the people who robbed him are dumb and explained why.

"I know people want to hear me talk about that Houston sh*t," he said. "I want people to know that whatever happened, happened. I'm a street n*gga. I'm not nowhere crying off of that, and I'm more famous than I thought I was ...  I had just split up with some n*ggas that I was with. We were going to a party. I had just grabbed crazy sh*t from the mall, and I needed some under clothes. I needed some wife beaters and sh*t."

"Them n*ggas was dumb for that," he added. "I feel like n*ggas really didn't want no jewelry. They try to take my dignity and my integrity, but I'm solid as they come ... I done took sh*t from n*ggas. That's part of the game. That's how it go."

Benny also said he's happy to be alive.

"That's the most important thing," he stated. "You see these n*ggas lose they life. In that situation right there, I want n*ggas to know I done been through fifty worse incidents than that  ... N*ggas can't trick me out the streets. I came too far."
