Beanie Sigel has accused JAY-Z of intentionally overshadowing his album launches to hinder his rise.

During a recent sit-down with The Art of Dialogue, the ex-Roc-A-Fella artist reflected on his experience with the label. He stated, “I used to have questions like, ‘Why every time my album dropped, Jay would drop right on top of me or right before me?’” “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.” He continued, “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!’”

Fan Fact-Checks Beanie Sigel’s Claims About Jay-Z

A user on X (formerly Twitter) countered Beanie’s remarks by analyzing the release timelines he shared with Hov as labelmates in the 2000s, ultimately dismissing Sigel’s assertion.

The fan shared, “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.” “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.”

They went on to say, “The facts show that this is a lie.” Furthermore, the fan accused the Broad Street Bully of fabricating stories about his old label boss. They voiced, “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.”
