The mixtape version of the song only featured Puff Daddy and the rap act the Lox (excluding Styles P who still appears in the video).

This remix added guitar riffs and live drums, as well as a more "in your face" approach to the song's chorus.

In 1999, Puffy performed this remix with a live band at the Giants Stadium for the NetAid benefit concert.

It featured Puff Daddy, the LOX, Lil' Kim, and Biggie (who appears on a television screen, through archive footage of the Hypnotize music video) and took place in a dimly-lit concert venue and in a forest where the rappers are either running (except Biggie) or rapping.

[4] The second music video (for the remix) is similar to the first one, except Biggie's verse and appearances are removed, replaced by a tap dancing battle between Puff Daddy and Savion Glover, with the latter winning.

Puff Daddy, under the name Diddy, sampled the song in the remix to "Shot Caller" by French Montana.

Bob Dylan played the song on the "Money: Part 1" episode of his Theme Time Radio Hour show in 2008.

In 2019, U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar quoted the song title in a tweet about American politicians' support for Israel,[9] which was subsequently criticized as antisemitic.

"It's All About the Benjamins" reached its peak of number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 on January 3, 1998, behind the million-selling single, "Candle in the Wind 1997" by Elton John, and its peak of number 1 on the Hot Rap chart on December 3, 1997.

Puff Daddy, the Lox, and Lil' Kim performed the song live at the 1998 Soul Train Music Awards on February 27, 1998.
