Ephraim “Fetti” Benton isn’t the type to wait for opportunities—he makes them. With over 30 years in the entertainment industry, the Brooklyn-born producer, actor, writer, and showrunner has built a career rooted in authenticity, hustle, and a commitment to telling stories that hit home.
From his early days growing up as the oldest of seven siblings to running his own production companies—Skeemaholic Society and MoFetti Group—with his business partner Shawn Lindsey, Benton has never forgotten where he came from. But make no mistake—he’s got his sights set on something bigger.
And with a string of new projects dropping—including the feature film “Bloody Money,” the upcoming “Dope King,” and his new series “Bottom B$tch” premiering on Tubi this April—he’s showing no signs of slowing down.
Brooklyn Roots, Big Dreams
Growing up in Brooklyn, NY, Benton didn’t have the luxury of an easy path. As the oldest child in a big family, he learned early on what it meant to take responsibility—not just for himself, but for those around him.
That sense of drive and accountability shaped his work ethic. While other kids were hanging out on the block, Benton had bigger ambitions. He wasn’t interested in following the crowd—he wanted to break out of his circumstances and make a name for himself.
“I came from a place where people counted us out,” Benton says. “But I always knew I had a bigger purpose. I wasn’t just gonna survive—I was gonna win.”
And win, he has. But his success didn’t come easy. Benton worked his way through the industry—acting, writing, casting, and eventually producing his own projects. And through it all, he never compromised his vision or his voice.
Building His Own Lane
Benton isn’t content playing by Hollywood’s rules. With Skeemaholic Society and MoFetti Group, he’s creating the kind of stories that mainstream media often ignores—raw, honest, and unfiltered reflections of real life.
“I wanted to tell stories that felt real to the people I grew up with,” Benton explains. “Not some watered-down version of reality, but the truth—the good, the bad, and everything in between.”
Through these brands, Benton has complete creative control—something that’s rare in an industry driven by formulas and trends. And that freedom has allowed him to craft bold, uncompromising narratives that resonate with audiences who rarely see themselves authentically represented on screen.
A Breakout Year: ‘Bloody Money,’ ‘Dope King,’ and ‘Bottom B$tch’
This year is shaping up to be one of Benton’s biggest yet.
His latest feature film, “Bloody Money,” recently dropped on streaming platforms, delivering a tense, gritty story that dives into the high-stakes world of power and betrayal. It’s a film that doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities of street life—a trademark of Benton’s storytelling.
Next up is “Dope King,” an equally raw and intense project slated for release later this year. Fans of his work know what to expect—complex characters, unpredictable twists, and a narrative that doesn’t flinch in the face of hard truths.
But perhaps the most anticipated is “Bottom B$tch,” his new series set to premiere on Tubi on April 1st. The show promises to explore the underbelly of relationships, loyalty, and the power struggles that come with living in a world where trust is a luxury.
For Benton, these projects are more than just entertainment—they’re a reflection of the world he knows. “I don’t tell fairy tales,” he says. “I tell the stories that need to be told—the ones people live every day but rarely see on screen.”
More Than Just Entertainment: Giving Back to the Community
Despite his growing success, Benton remains deeply connected to his roots. Through his non-profit organization, he’s actively working to give back to the same Brooklyn neighborhoods that raised him.
From community programs to youth mentorship, he’s committed to creating pathways for the next generation. For Benton, success means nothing if he can’t bring others with him.
“I know what it’s like to feel like nobody’s looking out for you,” he says. “So if I’m in a position to help, why wouldn’t I?”
It’s not just talk—he’s putting in the work. Whether it’s offering job opportunities through his productions or supporting local initiatives, Benton is using his platform to make a difference where it matters most.
The Legacy He’s Building
Ephraim “Fetti” Benton isn’t interested in being a flash in the pan. He’s playing the long game—building a legacy that’s bigger than any one film or TV show. And if his recent output is any indication, he’s well on his way.
In an industry where authenticity can be hard to come by, Benton’s voice stands out. He’s not chasing trends or trying to fit a mold. He’s telling his stories, his way—and audiences are taking notice.
And while others might be satisfied with what he’s already achieved, Benton is just getting started.
“I’m not here for a moment—I’m here to stay,” he says. “And I’m bringing my people with me.”
