Beanie Sigel in car crash

Philadelphia rapper and current Jay-Z rival Beanie Sigel was injured in a car accident in Baltimore on Saturday (Dec. 19). Sigel, who was leaving a recording studio, was riding in a car that was side swiped and then run-off the road by a tractor trailer. The car was totaled and Sigel sustained injuries to his face, arms and legs. At press time no other information regarding additional passengers was released. According to his rep, the rapper did not seek medical treatment for his injuries and performed at a show in Norfolk, Va., Sunday.


In recent months, Sigel has found his name back in the news due to his ongoing beef with Jay-Z. After being introduced to the music industry as a member of Jay's Roc-A-Fella crew, the Philly emcee felt abandoned by his Brooklyn counterpart and recently released the track 'Average Cat' to address the issue. In response, Jay stated that many of Sigel's career downfalls were his own fault. "Beanie Sigel, at the time, and you can look it up if you'd like, was driving two Bentleys," he said in an interview. "With his momma in the sticks and selling 800,000 records. I don't know. What more can you do for somebody at that point? At some point, you have to look in the mirror and look at yourself."

Sigel is said to be linking with part-time Hov hater, 50 Cent for an upcoming tour. The two previously collaborated on the Jay-Z diss track 'I Go Off,' which was released in November.

50 Cent Defends Kanye West-Lady Gaga “Gay Tour” Comment + “Fame Kills” Tour Cancelled

During an interview with New York radio host Angie Martinez, rapper 50 Cent accused Kanye of pandering to the gay community and called his join-tour with Lady Gaga “the gay tour.”

“Kanye’s cool with the gay folk,” said 50. “I have nothing against them, but he’s cool with them. He goes, drops his video off to them. Remember 808s & Heartbreak? Where’d he premiere it? Ellen DeGeneres. He went there to premiere his video. He’s conscious of the gay community and wants them to buy his CDs.”

After receiving a bit of backlash for his comments, 50 took to his website to release the following statement: “During an interview with Angie Martinez yesterday, certain comments I made were taken entirely out of context. When I referred to the Lady Gaga tour as ‘the gay tour,’ I was basically repeating what I thought she had referred to the tour in the past. It was not my intention to offend anyone. I don’t have a problem with anyone’s lifestyle and have no issue with Lady Gaga. She makes great music.”

Hmmm. The fact Kanye’s name was left out of his apology only affirms it was 50s original intention to take a shot at Kanye and his perceived sexuality.

In more “Fame Kills” news, tour promoter Live Nation out of nowhere issued a press release yesterday (October 1) announcing the cancellation of the much-anticipated tour. There’s speculation Kanye’s recent antics - VMAs mic snatch and tantrums over chicken - was just more than Gaga wished to deal with. Damn, looks like fame killed the tour before it could even begin. Smh
