Beanie Sigel Supports Rick Ross

Beanie Sigel has voiced his support for Rick Ross and downplayed the rapper's past as a corrections officer. When it was revealed years ago that Ross had a history in law enforcement, several denounced the Miami-based superstar; due to the fact that much of his lyrics focus on lavish drug kingpin tales. But to Sigel, its not a big deal.

"I just don't think he should have lied about it," Sigel said in an interview. "He should have just kept it real. He had a j-o-b. He was gigging. He probably took that job to be in a position where as though he had people in there that he could look out for. My mom was a correctional officer. When I went to jail, there was n*ggas who had the will. Life. Never coming home..."

Beanie Sigel Explains His Absence

Beanie Sigel knows that he's been away for awhile. Despite making constant waves with his apologies and non-apologies to former friend Jay-Z, Sigel hasn't released any music lately. But the Broad Street Bully explained his hiatus recently.

He just wanted to spend time with family.

"I think it's all timing with me. I just had to go back," Sigel said in an interview. "For me, running constantly since I was first came on the business, I never had a chance to sit still. I got kids and everything. I had a couple issues in my life that made me have to sit down, unwillingly, and when I came home, I had a little paper trail. So just that time for me to be with my kids, I was missing out on a lot of things. I just enjoyed that and got comfortable in that zone."

Beanie Sigel Clarifies Jay-Z 'Apology'

Beanie Sigel is denying reports from earlier this month that he 'apologized' to his former friend Jay-Z for their longstanding feud. According to Sigel, he was just putting the situation behind him--but he never apologized. Beanie says he has nothing to apologize for.

“I never made a public apology, I talked to somebody from a magazine, and they brought that issue up," Beans said of the miscommunication. "You never hear me say ‘apology.’ What I said was, to stop that interviewer from asking me those questions, and everybody else who asked those questions,” he said. “I felt how I felt and I still feel how I feel. But, just letting it go for everybody else. Hustler’s number one rule is never lose your cool. I broke one of the hustler’s rules. Gangstas f*ck up, but at the end of the day, I still feel how the f*ck I feel.”

Beanie Sigel Apologizes To Jay-Z

Beanie Sigel has issued a public apology to mentor-turned-rival Jay-Z, following almost two years of feuding. The Philly rapper has had a change of heart regarding the man who helped launch his career, but who Sigel subsequently accused of turning his back on him.

"What Mike Epps say? 'Gangstas f**k up too,'" Beanie Sigel told XXLMag. "Whatever I felt this dude Jay did wrong to me, it can't outweigh the one thing he did do for me - he gave me an opportunity. Dude gave me an opportunity."

Beans also said he regretted releasing diss tracks aimed at Jay.

"I got caught in the moment and put my feelings out there, Beanie SigeI said. "I should have never done that."
