Jay was ordered to take the stand in his trial, and while he did say nice things about the Philly rapper, he didn’t back him when it would’ve helped him most. But, according to the rapper, things changed when Jay turned his back on him during his highly publicized weapons trial in 2004. He even went to bat for him in a battle against the Ruff Ryders and Jadakiss in the early 2000s. Still, despite all the behind-the-scenes scheming, Beans said he was in Jay-Z’s corner. He did the same thing to State Property.” “Even on the clothing line … the same reason why you and Dame broke up–Jay-Z–because he was taking all the money from Rocawear and putting it into all his other lil companies. It was me, Jay, Dame, and the two other Russians that had the Rocawear, owned State Property,” Beans explained. “What did you give me? The clothing line that you gave me? I had 20% of State Property Clothing. In the end, the profits were taken from him anyway. However, the deal was in Jay-Z’s favor and not his. He did admit that the State Property Clothing line was given to him like Jay stated. In fact, Beanie Sigel says the Roc-A-Fella heads didn’t give him much. My record label only cost me $700 … maybe $750. I think I paid another couple hundred dollars and I patented the LLC company. It only cost a couple hundred to search the name, State Property Records. The issue with the Bentleys, you shot yourself in the foot with that.

“It’s not like I had all this wealth and I bought… like you helped me obtain all this wealth and gave me me these two Bentleys,” Sigel explained. He claims that Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder Kareem “Biggs” Burke placed the down payments for both vehicles as a birthday gift, his only obligation being a monthly car note of just $5,100. During a Canadian press conference, Jay said that Beanie was given a record label, clothing line, and even at one point, was driving two Bentleys–all of this without a platinum plaque under his belt.īeanie says those statements are false.

But one thing is clear, 50 is interested and Beans seems to be as well.Īs the interview continued, Beanie went in, responding to Jay-Z’s recent comments, in which he said Sigel was given many opportunities to succeed despite not earning them. I was aware of Beans at that point, because I was going to the joint he was in.”Īt press time, it wasn’t clear if the deal was official yet, or if they were still ironing out the details.

“I get him out and go right away with the actual music. “I thought that felt that he would be losing something to me, when they wouldn’t do the deal,” he continued. “I’ll tell you what I paid for Mobb Deep–that was at least $800,000 at that point. At least, with the heat that was around him at that point,” Fif’ explained.
