BenZoe was recently quoted in regards to his life saying, βThroughout my life I have endured a great amount of pain. From juvenile jail to prison, Iβve been there alone. I know about that side of the fence. I was shot 4 times, once in my left arm, twice in my right arm, and thereβs still a slug in my chest the doctor couldnβt get.β
