Beanie Sigel Slammed Over 'Disgusting' JAY-Z Claim: 'The Facts Show That This Is A Lie'

Beanie Sigel has been put on blast for claiming that JAY-Z would try to stifle his success by overshadowing his album releases.

In a recent interview with The Art of Dialogue, the former Roc-A-Fella rapper said of his time on the label: “I used to have questions like, ‘Why every time my album dropped, Jay would drop right on top of me or right before me?'”

He added: “Back then it was physical copies, so if you had $20 that you saved up and you were gonna buy an album — and it’s under the same house, Roc-A-Fella — between Jay and Beanie Sigel, nine times out of 10 you’re going to buy the JAY-Z album.

“I never understood that. Every single album that I dropped, Jay dropped right on top of me. To have in-house competition of that magnitude was crazy. I always thought, ‘Let me breathe!'”

One fan on X (formerly Twitter) hit back at Beanie’s comments by taking a closer look at the respective release schedules of him and Hov when they were labelmates in the 2000s, concluding that Sigel’s claim didn’t hold up.

“Did Jay-Z REALLY step on Beanie Sigel’s album releases? Let’s not just take Sigel’s word as truth, let’s look at the facts,” they wrote.

“Jay-Z – Vol. 3… Life And Times Of S. Carter – 12/28/1999. Beanie Sigel – The Truth – 2/29/2000. Jay-Z – The Dynasty: Roc La Familia – 10/31/2000. Beanie Sigel – The Reason – 5/26/2001. Jay-Z – The Blueprint – 9/11/2001.

“Beanie Sigel – The B. Coming – 3/29/2005. Jay-Z was retired and didn’t drop an album in 2005. Beanie Sigel was in prison […] Jay-Z – American Gangster – 11/7/2007. Beanie Sigel – The Solution – 12/11/2007 […] Beans was featured on AG. And Jay was featured on TS.”

They added: “The facts show that this is a lie.”

The fan then slammed the Broad Street Bully for “lying” about his former label boss: “These n-ggas get on these interviews and start lying and nobody ever gives them any pushback.

“Jay-Z changed that man’s life and because he refused to take accountability for his own reckless behavior, he blames Jay for how his life/career turned out. It’s disgusting.”

Jay signed Beanie Sigel and immediately featured him on “Reservoir Dogs” alongside Sauce Money & The LOX off “Vol. 2” (Jay’s best selling album.) Then without any music out he took him on the road and put him on the Hard Knock Life Tour and let him perform in front of thousands… pic.twitter.com/iu29KDZZQ1

There has been no shortage of discord within the former Roc-A-Fella camp of late.

Beanie Sigel just recently supported Dame Dash’s claim that JAY-Z ghostwrote for Memphis Bleek back in the day.

In a separate clip from his Art of Dialogue interview, Beans said: “Did he write for Bleek? Yeah, man, of course. To help Bleek out on a lot of shit. I mean, you can hear it.”

After reciting Bleek’s verse from the Dynasty cut “You, Me, Him and Her,” he added: “Just pay attention. He always cheated for Bleek. He had to cheat for Bleek, especially if us three was on a record together.

“Because if I ain’t there with Jay or too far behind him… come on, man. Bleek wouldn’t have stood a chance. That’s my brother. Bleek know.”

JAY-Z has yet to respond to any of Beanie Sigel’s claims.
