Fans were shocked when news broke that Beanie Sigel – already preparing to serve a two-year sentence for tax evasion – was arrested on drug charges earlier today. Now, in an exclusive from XXL, it looks like the Philadelphia emcee will begin serving his sentence earlier than anticipated.
The Broad Street Bully was supposed to begin serving his two-year bid on September 12, but now, after the recent arrest, authorities took him into custody today instead. Although the rapper’s lawyer Fortunato N. Perri did not indicate whether his client would serve any extra time for the arrest, he did say that he needs to review the specific nature of the arrest before moving forward with any kind of legal action.
“At this point, the Federal authorities will take him into custody and he’ll begin serving the sentence that he was going to start on September 12 anyway,” said Beans’ lawyer. “He had bail set on the new charges, but the Federal authorities have issued a detainer—a warrant, essentially—that will transfer him to Federal custody and he’ll start serving his sentence…we’re still reviewing the allegations and the circumstances of the arrest. I don’t don’t know a whole lot about the specifics at this point. We’re still reviewing specifics.”
As mentioned earlier, Sigel was arrested for possession of a bottle of codeine with the label scratched off and a bag prescription pills. A gun was also found the center dashboard of the vehicle in which Sigel had been riding.

LEANie sigel be on that drank
Getting that lean in before he did his time, but got caught up. #DamnSon
For sure, can’t say I blame him for ballin out before he went away. However, not to say that I know the circumstances of the arrest, he is an idiot for getting caught like that.
what rhymes with dumb motherfucker?
I have zero use for Sean Carter but it’s pretty funny he’s headlining a music fest in Philly this weekend while Bean’s is going to be pacing a very small cage.
Dude give it a rest, he was going to jail regardless of some show this weekend.
The rise and fall…
Dumb nigga..
Beans is an idiot..Who couldn’t see he was on lean after that Power 105 interview a few days back.But to also rack up another gun charge is the height of all stupidity.
Hey, HHDX, how about proof reading your articles, you know, for simple grammar? You guys are pathetic.
Feel sorry for this dude, he had a promising career and he really, really blew it. With all the opportunity, money and options this guy had he just through it all away. So sad.
damn scarface and him was supposed to do a album. Fuck it face and Killer Mike should do a album instead with madlib on all the beats.
Haha fucking loser, everything else is secondary, but this guy is a fucking loser, straight up. Enjoy early jail! How could you not lay low and chill the fuck out?
Has there ever been a rapper do so little with so much?

DAMN BEANS…he was scheduled to do a show out here in Oakland, Caifornia on August 31st…I guess I won’t be seeing Beans rip it live anytime soon. I’ll have to wait for him to get out
well he is 38 now he will do two in the fed. while he is in there they will try him for his latest crime. when you locked down they seem to throw the book at you. mix that with his prior record me might not see the street again until 43 and 1/2 hell maybe even 45. kinda of sad this is what happens when you give up so easily and drugs every day weed included to cope with your life.
damn, this nigga doin wayyy too much, he need to chill out, find a nice lil wife, get a house on a farm, and just chill the fuck out
BEANS ! what a useless fat ass syrian looking motherfucker
when did all the rappers start taking pills shits fucked up why not just smoke weed
What a waste of talent!
absolutely murdered niggiz on that microphone. The socalled and the best of em
I wonder if jay z is going to visit him this time…lol
Too much recklessness.. if he was smart, he’d just lay low after the most recent sentencing.. but he had to go “riding dirty”, regardless.. too many people are clearly psychologically invested in another ideology entirely.. they think the “rules” don’t apply to them after they get fame.. I feel for any kids he has, but that’s it..
If you do the crime you do the the time
