JAY-Z SLAMMED BY EX-ROC-A-FELLA RAPPER FOR BETRAYING BEANIE SIGEL IN ATTEMPTED MURDER CASE

JAY-Z has been criticized by former Roc-A-Fella rapper Oschino for turning his back on Beanie Sigel in his attempted murder case in the mid 2000s.

In an interview with Say Cheese, the State Property alum aired his grievances with his former label boss for refusing to vouch for Beans during the trial.

“I came to court for Beanie when he allegedly shot somebody,” Oschino recalled. “JAY-Z got on the stand and they said, ‘Are you gonna be responsible for him if we let him go?’ JAY-Z said, ‘No.’ I was there. This ain’t hearsay; this was me in the courtroom.”

He added: “I was just thinking, ‘What did he come to court for then?’ If I got a homie and all I gotta say is, ‘I’m responsible for him for him to get out,’ I’m saying it every time […] The judge was trying to give him an out. He said, ‘No.’

“And nobody didn’t say nothing, nobody flinched. Mind you, I’m a jail n-gga so I’m looking around like, ‘Nobody not saying nothing?!’ Like it was normal […] Maybe I’m too street in my thinking and maybe he was being more responsible, but I was thinking, ‘Man, these boys is different.'”

Watch his comments at the 13:15 mark below.

Beanie Sigel was charged with attempted murder in July 2003 for allegedly firing six shots at a man during an argument outside of a Philadelphia bar. One of the bullets struck the victim in the foot and another in the stomach.

The first trial ended in a mistrial after the jury were deadlocked after five days of deliberating. It was during this trial that JAY-Z appeared on the witness stand.

The “Feel it in the Air” rapper was retried in 2005 and walked free after being acquitted of all charges.

“I think the jury flat-out didn’t believe the victim and the eyewitness,” Sigel’s lawyer Fortunato N. Perri Jr. said of the verdict. “They thought they were lying, that they put a story together, to ultimately end up in a payday for themselves.”

Beans himself addressed Hov’s actions during the trial on Drink Champs in 2021, admitting it fractured their relationship and left him feeling hurt.

“I’ve never been crushed like that ever in my life,” he said. “‘Cause I’m like, ‘Damn, this is my man’ […] That fucked me up. That took away a lot of shit that I thought we had. Like, that’s big bro.”

He also acknowledged that, in hindsight, Hov had his reasons: “I believe at that time, Jay was thinking that I was unpredictable. I was bugging. I know I was out of pocket. I was uncontrollable.”

Sexyy Red Reveals Chief Keef And Kayla B Drama Was Simply A Genius Promotional Tactic

Sexyy Red is clearly handling her massive success quite well, inviting controversy and speculation to further her own rollout goals and image. Moreover, you might have heard that she and Kayla B (King Von's sister) got into some salacious social media spats over Chief Keef, being that both of them claimed to be romantically involved with him. However, it looks like all that (at least, on Sexyy's behalf) was just for show, as she recently previewed a Maury-parodying music video for her remix collab with Sosa, "Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Mama)." It's a reimagining of her original hit, "Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad)."

Furthermore, it seems like all the Internet attacks and jokes about polyamory were just that: jokes and antics to get us invested. It's a pretty smart scheme, albeit one that risked actually driving a wedge in between Sexyy Red, Chief Keef, and Kayla B. But we're sure that the music video will at least be a pretty comical and entertaining visual treatment, so all's well that ends well. We just hope that King Von's sister got the memo and that they're all a part of this together. If they're not, that's when things could really get messy.

Sexyy Red Teases New Music Video

Regardless, Sexyy Red is also going on tour soon, so she's understandably got a lot to promote and move with. However, this provided a pretty stark contrast compared to how other celebrities in the rap game choose to handle their extracurricular antics and headlines. While other artists seem more comfortable with keeping that drama at arm's length of their art and career, the St. Louis native knows the strength of using both in tandem. It hasn't always been a successful experiment, but it's been much better than many predicted.

Meanwhile, the "N.P.O." MC has a lot more to look forward to this year. Maybe she's actually pregnant again as she teased with this music video snippet, but at this point, who knows? Nevertheless, Sexyy Red definitely has a great marketing team behind her, or this was just the stars aligning and blessing her with an extra boost. As long as she can capitalize on that, then she'll handle future antics as swimmingly as this one.
