Althea Heart, the ex-partner of rapper Benzino, has revived claims about his sexuality, alleging an affair with singer Bobby V. Over the weekend, Heart took to Instagram to share a series of messages that purportedly show a conversation between herself and Benzino, in which she accuses him of being bisexual and engaging in a relationship with Bobby V.
In one of the messages, Heart expressed her frustrations, stating, “You was actually f*cking Bobby V.! Please. I tried to love you. And I have my last to provide as a mother so you feel good about me losing my homes.” As the conversation continued without a response from Benzino, she reiterated, “So you’re admitting your bisexuality omg.”
In her Instagram post, Heart included a pointed message aimed at those who have wronged her, writing, “[Middle finger emoji] everyone who did me dirty in 2025! @bobbyvshow .. now I understand why you was creeping all in my house behind my back !! You #men are #nasty & #dirty.”
On Monday morning, Benzino responded to Heart’s allegations via a video posted on his own Instagram account. He confirmed that he is considering legal action against her for defamation of character. “I don’t want to discuss too much about this because this is gonna be in the courts,” he stated. “I’m gonna be taking a lawsuit for defamation of character against this woman that’s defamed my name. I’m also gonna be in court for her for other reasons… It’s sad that this woman has been like this for the world to see forever.”
Benzino emphasized his desire for privacy, mentioning that he and his current partner are striving to live a quiet life away from the media spotlight. This incident marks another instance where the rapper has had to confront rumors regarding his sexual orientation.
Back in 2023, Benzino addressed similar speculation on X (formerly Twitter), urging his fans within the LGBTQ+ community to refrain from flirtatious comments. He remarked, “Attention to all in the LGBTQ, abcd!!! I respect y’all’s movement and your decision to be who you want to be BUT STOP THE WEIRD SH*T WITH THE COMMENTS AND FLIRTING. I’M NOT F*CKING FLATTERED BECAUSE I’M NOT GAY!! RESPECT THAT SH*T AS I RESPECT WHO YOU ARE!!”
As the situation develops, Benzino’s legal actions may provide further clarity on the ongoing allegations made by Heart. The public continues to follow this story closely, as the personal lives of high-profile figures often attract significant media attention.
