All is fair in Love & Hip-Hop and Benzino is apparently planning to use the court to prove it isn’t after Stevie J. hit the media with claims of death threats.

As you know, Benzino and his lady love Althea Heart won’t be returning for Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’s 4th season (click HERE if you missed that) and Stevie J. has hit the media, claiming it was Zino’s own fault for threatening to kill him!

On the flip side, Benzino has responded and is now threatening to takeStevie J and his ‘crackhead whore’ (aka Joseline Hernandez) to court for defamation.

Details below…

Stevie J. recently revealed to TMZ that Benzino was fired after making death threats:

…Benzino wouldn’t let it go … he went on a campaign of terror, threatening the lives of him and Joseline, producers and other staffers. Stevie tells us, “He said flat out he was going to kill us.”

The threats were too much for VH1 and we’re told that’s why Benzino was banished.

But Benzino tells us, “Stevie J is a habitual liar and VH1 has never given me a reason for being fired.”

Benzino thinks this is all about star power and he’s the scapegoat because “They wanted to keep the crackhead whore.”

Benzino also hit the tweets to dispute the ‘death threat’ report, stating:

Meanwhile, it seems that Benzino and Althea have formed an alliance with Vincent Herbert and his wife Tamar Braxton and could be planning to return to the airwives with a ‘reality show’ of their own.

Benzino shared the selfie above, displaying what appears to be a script on the table, as he’s joined by Althea, Vincent Herbert, Tamar and several friends.

Both Benzino and Althea have recently been hashtagging photos with the phrase #MarriedToHipHop – seemingly to imply that they have their own reality show in the works.

It’s not a stretch.  If you recall, Benzino once pitched a dating to interested parties (click HERE if you missed that), so he’s been vying for his own show for a while now.  Who knows? Maybe Vince & Tamar are his new ‘partners.’ *shrug*

Stay tuned.  It’s not over yet for the ‘hip-hop’ couple…
