Damon Dash Responds To Beanie Sigel's Claims -- Says He Doesn't Want Beef With Him or Jay-Z
By Allen Starbury ♦ Published 11/06/2009

Damon DashBeanie Sigel decided to air out some of the dirty laundry of Roc-A-Fella Records' past -- in the midst of his beef with Jay-Z -- during a radio interview earlier this week. According to the Philly rapper, some of the label's heads didn't exactly have morally sound business practices.

During the interview, where he was accompanied by 50 Cent and revealed he might be signing with G-Unit, Beans responded to claims by Jay-Z who said he was given all the opportunities in the world to make money -- including a label and clothing line.

However, Beanie Sigel says that's not entirely true.

He claimed that while Jay-Z didn't exactly help him in furthering his career, he also said Damon Dash was cutting him outta deals behind the scenes, specifically money he should of received for the State Property clothing line and a Pro-Keds deal he helped broker.

"I had 20% of State Property Clothing. It was me, Jay, Dame, and the two other Russians that had the Rocawear, owned State Property," Beans explained during the radio interview. "... 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. He did the same thing to State Property."

Damon Dash recently responded to Beans' claims, via an MTV interview ... well, not exactly. When asked about the situation, he refused to talk details, but made it clear, he doesn't have beef with Beans or Jay.

"I'm not teaching violence. No beef! None of that. I don't have beef with nobody," he told MTV. "I love Jay, I love Beans -- what's the reason for beef? That's stupid. What's the reason for beef? People die, people don't feel good -- I want people to laugh. What's up, y'all?"

Dame went on to say that he feels bad that Beanie Sigel and other members of the Roc-A-Fella Records roster ever had to suffer, but as far as Beanie's recent verbal lashing on radio, he said he hurt him.

"I was surprised. I was hurt for him, more or less, because I know that ain't him," Dash explained. "But I don't want to speak on that. Whatever [Beanie's] going through where he's got to do that ... I could understand where he may look at things and feel that way. I can see that. He's probably got a lot of people around him and nobody to really tell him what's going on. It was a different environment for Roc-A-Fella back then. I feel bad for those cats. I love those cats. I hate that they struggle. I hate it. I hate to see anybody struggle. I don't embrace that. I'm not one of those dudes that get happy when I hear something bad about somebody I had a bond with. I really loved those dudes. You see Ski down there, I knew Ski for 20 years. That's my man. Sometimes people have different agendas for why they don't wanna be my friend. But at the end of the day, I'm always there for them."

Dame is getting back to the music. According to MTV, he has a new label called BlakRoc, and plans to put out their first release later this month from an artist called Black Keys.

    Good statement. Beans got 50 in his ear, if it was just him alone going after Jay I would be pulling for him. Every time Curtis gets the picture nothing good happens for that person. Look at how he used Remy Ma, J-Hood, Cuban Link, Jim Jones, and where are their careers now?

  • Ja Rule

    Where are their careers now? The same place mine is :(

  • GEORGE

    @Munny you're right. They were bricking anyway. Curtis just sped-up the process, like he's going to do Beans' career.

  • GEORGE

    @Vengeance, only fools want to stay with that beef shit. These guys need to worry about their business and let the rest fly.

  • devon

    Beans fucked his own money up,not Jay or Dame he a grown ass man you think Lebron James boys feel as though he owe them something?he put you in a position to live like most people would die for it's up to you to take the rains & run with it,all these guys over 35 nobody told Beans keep having a bunch of kids or going to court spending unnecessary money on lawyers when he knew the money he generated was minimal compared to Jay that's on him.

  • Captal G

    Beans is broke now so, he's playin' his "hold " card to generate a buzz. Gettin with fif ain't a bad look for Beans. (leverage) Jay Z needs to let him eat. If Jay doesn't, then beans should let him "have it"...otherwise, Beans should shut his pie hole. Real talk.

  • CHUCK

    all the bs aint neccessary jus bring the whole roc-a-fella family bac 2 take ova

  • giantnyc

    Beanie should be a cautionary tale for all. At one point he had two Bentleys. Who needs two Bentleys? Another part he leaves out is all his self inflicted legal problems. He is still stuck in his ghetto ways; waiting around for a hand-out and blaming other people for his woes instead of looking inward. These guys think money is the answer to all their problems. He was still the same violent drug abuser he was with money that he was without. Fix your soul.

  • bee see

    There is a reason why beans is broke and jz and dame are not its called I don't think the same way I thought when I was 21 you have to change with age and experience those things should teach you not to act like you r still in the damn projects selling crack.beans had an audience and fans he should build an empire like jay-z and dame he should have to as foe hand outs he has been on top he needs to use that experience to get back there instead of blaming people for his own downfalls.

  • Whytemike

    I think that everybody in the whole ROC is fake.

  • Whytemike

    Ja Rule Id like to see you make a come back on some holla holla shit.50 is gay.
