Beanie Sigel Shot in Philadelphia

 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  85 Comments

beanie.jpgRapper Beanie Sigel was shot on a Philadelphia street early this morning in what appears to have been a robbery attempt gone wrong. According to an initial report from channel 6 ABC in Philadelphia, five men in two cars boxed Beans in and a suspect described as a black male in his 30s opened fire, hitting the rapper twice in the upper arm. Although seriously wounded, Sigel managed to drive himself to a local hospital and is currently being treated for his injuries. He is expected to make a full recovery. The incident caps off what has been a tumultuous 12 months for Beanie, during which the Philly native’s stepfather was found brutally murdered, and the rapper was released from federal prison only to be briefly re-incarcerated on charges that he neglected to pay child support.

  • Ian

    I like beans, but I don’t know. He wasn’t that big of a seller, so you can argue that he’s still in the hood but…

  • jojochicago

    What the Fuk! is it thirsty season and it ain’t even Christmas? naw its just hater season which is 365. so cats gotta take bullets and get murdered or wounded, instead of shooting first catching that lil case and beating it with their rap 100′s of thousands/maybe millions. How the rap go? Shot now ask questions later!

  • youglslimp

    how the fuck is this a publicity stunt. what he shot his self in the arm when he dont even have a album coming out any time soon? i think xxl should have a pre-test ur iq has to exceed a 6-year olds to be able to publish any comments

  • Kaven Lamarre

    It`s a shame that rappers can`t go somewhere without some risks of getting shot…Is it worth your life to become a rap star… I don`t think so! Increase the peace

    ha ha,and we blame the white man for makeing us slaves,least they gave us a shot of being slaves,with in the last 20 years blac people were killed buy their own kind,or shot.witch makes me wonder who are the real murders.than we get mad when a cop pulls over a blac person and beats him but we dont get mad when blacs shoot and kill each other,no what you do? u brag about it in raps songs,think about that before you blame the white man that put us in slaves 100 years ago that arent even alive now…..lol thats why they dident save us in new orleans,cause if we act like aminals we get treated like aminals.you cant blame them, i mean really,let me ask you this,if you kept eating a apples and kept getting sick would u keep eating it or throw it outttttttttttt!!!??!1

  • hulio banderes

    its rapper season, watch your back boys!!!!

  • alleyeCNtower

    what needs to happen, is Black people need to stop shooting each other. Black people need to see that the short path to money is a dead end. Black people need to genuinely care about each other, ESPECIALLY the ones you don’t know.

    I smile and show respect to every Black man I see, just cause I know this society teaches us to see each other as enemies. Do the same.

    I hope Beanie Sigel uses this as an opportunity to say something smart.

  • che

    what is wrong with everyone? you all come on here and say ‘this shit needs to stop’, ‘damn, another rapper shot’, or some borderline gay comment like ‘Beans please get well soon, my nigga’, its predictable n pathetic. ok he got shot, i’m a fan of his too but what bearing does saying ‘Wow, another rapper shot’ on an internet message board have? its pointless. bottom line is, none of you give a fuck about beanie sigel as a person so why act like you do? if he couldn’t rap you wouldn’t give a fuck that he got shot.

  • http://xxlmag.com E-man (South c)

    “The next thing we waiting for is hearing that the Rap game is shot dead.Being in this shit is like you are in Iraq,men…. you either watch your back or sleep on your back early,and forever,Im still gon fuck with it though.Im a soldier remember, toe to toe till I reach the top….”.E-MAN.

  • the Arsonist

    God is still good, I’m glad to hear it wasn’t beanie time to go. I pray he gets himself together spiritually cuz the hate will never stop as long as the devil exist and cuz we know we can’t forever we gotta have our soul right.I can’t wait to hear he’s new material but at the same time I can’t wait to hear the violence rate has decrease. RIP Big HAWK!!!!

  • http://www.myspace.com/iamdjtreats treats

    Rappers are getting crazier and crazier, or they’re in need of a new way to prove they’re gangsta. Waving a gun on a SMAK DVD is weak, everybody’s got guns. Damn, didn’t City of God teach us anything??? Real gangstaz get shot and live to get shot another day, or shoot back, if they’re really gully about it. This trend of self-inflicted gunshot wounds ain’t all that old anyway. It all goes back to Jimmy Henchmen’s theory of ‘Pac allegedly shooting himself in the elevator on his way to Quad Studios (see Vibe Magazine December 2005, “The Score”).

  • Wish_Bone

    When will all this nonsense stop? People getting shot over jewelry. If you really want something bad enough work for it, dont steal it. I dont care where you come from, Compton or New Hampshire. We all need to start bettering ourselves, and do it legit. No more selling drugs and gangbanging. The gangs are senseless just like this violence. Get better Beanie, and keep bringing that true music that is so rare now-a-days.

  • SugarHoneeIceTee

    Beans is ok. Don’t worry.God was watching over him that morning.

  • our peoples

    Come on! I can’t believe that were just gonna let them fukkas get us again like they haven’t been distroying us since they stole us and brought us to this stolen country.

    Listen Please. Black brothers you must open your eyes and see that we have been Set Up by the man to kill eachother why do you think everything is in the hood. guns, drugs, and poverty. They put that shit there. You have to see that if we don’t stop killing ourselves and come together we all can eat.High society governmental racist folks are just sitting back laughing and expanding thier family’s business why our black brothers are to brain washed to recognize what the fuk is being done to us. They are Getting Got again. We gotta make a change now or just consider our people our family’s and our futures extinct. Beans get well soon my brother. 1

    It’s Beanie’s life we’re talking about here and only he knows the real truth behind it. Sounds to me like some unfinished business. I love him as an artist but the game dosent change just the names and faces!

  • SPICKSTER

  • Real Talk From Da South

    I agree with Jus. We gotta stop killn each other. The man (The Crip Gang Starter) Tookie Williams as good as he wuz being da last 10yrs of his should have been put away 4 da rest of his life. I don’t wish death on anybody, but da gang shyt I my mind is gona put us black people back another 100 or so years. We gotta leave dat shyt alone and mix in with society. I wanna see black do big thingz besides sell drugz, gangbang, and go 2 jail. I wouldn’t be all bad about da gang thang if we would be contributing 2 society in some respectable way. There will alwayz be drugz, and 2 me marijuana ain’t dat bad. We as a people have 2 go ahead mingle in society 2 make America a better country. We have 2 many chances 2 make something out of ourselves in this country. We need 2 get away from the darkside and step into the light-Real Talk
