AceShowbiz - Earl "Ben J" Benjamin opened up on his job after his music career faded. In a recent sit-down with DJ Vlad, the former New Boyz member talked about pimping. "It worked for me. It don't work for everybody," he said.
"I'm about to have a baby with my h**," he revealed, before later adding that she's still working while being pregnant. When asked if he's not worried about her losing the baby, he insisted, "She ain't about to lose no baby, we keepin' her healthy."
Ben started pimping when he was 22. "Yeah, that's when everything was going down the drain with the New Boyz," he said. "I really had to figure something out."
During the interview, Ben J also talked about his former bandmate Dominic "Legacy" Thomas. He accused Legacy's former girlfriend Tinashe of playing a part in breaking up the hip-hop duo. He said she was a bad influence on his friend.
Legacy allegedly abandoned New Boyz for her. "He wanted to stay with Tinashe and work on her career," Ben claimed. "Legacy is a big part of why Tinashe is who she is. He produced, like, her whole first project. You know what I'm sayin' and shot all her videos and she gave him no credit."
"You know what I'm sayin' - I'm like 'bruh, that's foul - how you leave your group for this bum a** b***h?' " he continued.
"He [Legacy] pretended like he had a f**kin', a... what they call it, a stomach virus. He was food poisoning, but that was just some bulls**t because Tinashe told him like, 'that s**t is childish. Don't do that.' Don't do this.' "
It's not the first time Ben J dissed Tinashe and Legacy.
Meanwhile, Legacy once wrote this cryptic message, "Had a friend who had my back when New Boyz was boomin then turned around and started f**king with my ex when her career popped. team no team." As speculations started heating up, Ben clarified, "He's not talking about me FYI."
New Boyz split up in 2013, and Ben J was the one who made the announcement. "We've decided that we'd like to share our talents with our fans individually," he said back then. "I wish my brother (Legacy) the best in all that he does, and can't wait till we're both at the Grammy's getting nominated for our solo efforts."
