WELP, looks like sleaziest men of LHH:ATL have linked up for a new business endeavor and it involves food. Stevie J and Benzino used their new-found fame and opened up a restaurant in Atlanta called Sleazy & Zino Bistro and Bar (yes, it’s okay to laugh now.) According to Hip Hop Weekly, “It is an upscale facility with a theme-restaurant style approach, where the food and drink menus all tie into characters and other elements associated with the TV show.” I mean, we can’t knock them for doing something productive, right?

(Photos) Noooooooo: Benzino Announces His Own Upcoming Reality TV Show
Even though I’m still scarred for life after seeing Benzino’s “unfortunate situation” nudes that leaked, it looks like he will be back to torture us on our TV screens once again. The “rapper” turned Love & Hip Hop reality TV star announced via his Instagram that his own show called “Sucker For Love” will be airing soon. Although he didn’t give too much detail into the show or even what network will be airing it, I’m guessing it will be some sort of sick and twisted reality dating show (kind of like a Flavor of Love type ordeal). Check the gallery to see Benzino’s IG post.
