Benny Blanco just shared one of the wildest accidental near-disaster stories imaginable, and honestly, it sounds like something straight out of a comedy thriller. During an episode of his Friends Keep Secrets podcast, the music producer revealed that he once almost stabbed one of his own friends after mistaking him for a home intruder in the middle of the night. According to Benny, he woke up after hearing strange noises inside the house and immediately went into full panic mode.
Instead of calling for help or turning on lights, he quietly snuck into the kitchen and grabbed a knife.
And somehow, things only got more chaotic from there.
While telling the story, Benny explained that he hid low behind furniture preparing himself to attack whoever came around the corner. He even joked that his plan was to stab upward if the supposed intruder appeared.
But the real twist?
The “intruder” was actually one of his friends.
Apparently, the friend had also heard noises inside the house, panicked himself, grabbed a knife too and started sneaking around looking for danger.
Meaning both of them were unknowingly creeping around the same house armed with knives, both fully convinced somebody had broken in.
Honestly, the fact that nobody got hurt is kind of insane.
Lil Dicky, who was part of the conversation, asked Benny why he did not just grab a gun instead, but Benny admitted that owning a firearm would probably be more dangerous for himself than anybody else.
“I’d accidentally shoot myself,” he joked, explaining why he thought the knife was the “responsible” option.
Benny laughed through the story while recalling how close the situation came to going horribly wrong, saying it was basically a 50/50 chance one of them was getting stabbed before they realized what was happening.
Thankfully, the two eventually figured it out before anybody acted in pure panic.
And honestly, this feels exactly like the kind of bizarre celebrity story that somehow only Benny Blanco could casually tell on a podcast.
