RAY BENZINO VOWS TO TAKE BACK THE SOURCE

Earlier this month, Source magazine founder Dave Mays and brand president Ray (Benzino) Scott were fired from their positions with the magazine when the Board of Directors voted four-to-two to replace the two men. The vote became official when New Jersey Superior Court Judge Gerald Escala later lifted a temporary restraining order that barred the magazine’s Board Of Directors from firing the two men.

Although Benzino and Mays were forced out. They still own 82% of the company’s shares. Benzino has vowed that he will regain control of the magazine. He told Allhiphop.com, “I’m coming back on a f**king horse, man. There is no “what if..” or “If me and Dave ain’t..” Hey, if you want the exclusive I’m telling you what the f**k it is man. I’m coming back up there and heads are rolling. You know what I’m saying, Jeremy or anybody else they got up there. I’m telling you what it is. There’s no “if me and Dave don’t.” When me and Dave are back in power, I’m coming back on a f**king horse.”

Benzino was referring to Jeremy Miller who was named Chief Executive Officer of the magazine by the board. Miller worked for the magazine for 14 years before leaving last year to launch his own Down magazine. According to Benzino, Down magazine was on its way down the drain when Miller was brought back to the Source.
