Beanie Sigel Sentenced To Additional Jail Time For Drug Charges
Philadelphia rapper Beanie Sigel has been sentenced to additional time in jail for last year’s drug arrest.
According to Philly.com, Beans was sentenced to an additional six to 23 months in jail stemming from his August 2012 arrest for possession of a controlled substance. The former Roc-a-Fella emcee is currently serving out a sentence for tax evasion.
As DX reported last year, Sigel was arrested for possession of codeine, prescription pills and a small amount of marijuana. Police were tipped off when the car in which Beans was travelling at the time began swerving between lanes and tailgating another car.
During the initial search, police also found a loaded handgun in the center dashboard of the car. Although the gun charges against Sigel were later dropped, the driver of automobile Gerald Andrews was sentenced to two-and-a-half to five years in prison for possession of a firearm.
As previously mentioned, Beanie Sigel is currently serving a two year sentence for failing to pay more than $728,000 in federal taxes dating back to 1999.
Cassidy Says He Used To Help Meek Mill Write Raps
Cassidy and Meek Mill ended 2012 with diss tracks after the former dropped “Me, Myself & iPhone” and latter responded with “Repo.”
Now, Cassidy says that his on-wax beef with the Maybach Music Group rapper is nothing personal but that their relationship runs deep. Speaking with MTV News, he said that he used to help Mill with his lyrics but that he started acting different when he signed to Maybach Music Group.
“He used to call my phone all the time, always asking me to hear his music. I actually used to help him write his raps and give him information back in the day, but ever since he got his deal, things changed,” he said. “He stopped calling me, stopped communicating, stopped doing records together — it’s like he was a whole different type of person. I reached out a couple times, I don’t know if he was just busy or if he just changed, but it wasn’t exactly the same as before he [got a deal].
“I know how it is, because I’ve been on for over 10 years, so I know how it can be sometimes, especially when you’re having your first run and a lot of attention is on you, so I didn’t feel no type of way about it,” he continued. “That’s not the reason this battle thing came about, but at the end of the day, I do feel as though it’s not how it used to be before he got on.”
Cassidy said that he thought battling would be “good for Hip Hop” by bringing back focus to lyrics and being competitive, but that it doesn’t extend beyond wax. “It’s not personal beef. I don’t wanna see anything happen to him or anybody around him,” he said. “I’m just competitive and I take my music seriously. At first I was gonna leave it alone. I thought he wanted to battle me, like he was calling me out, but when I found out he wasn’t, I left it alone — until he started tweeting certain things about me and being disrespectful.”
