Beanie Sigel Arrested for Drug Possession

 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  28 Comments

Philadelphia rapper Beanie Sigel was arrested and charged with marijuana possession in New Jersey, early Sunday morning (August 16) reports the Burlington County Times.

According to the paper, Beans was on his way to perform at a private event at local tavern, Kelly’s Bar, at 12:44 a.m. on Sunday when he was stopped by authorites for possession of under 50 grams. Two other men, Karl S. ,Dargan and Justin S. Gaines, were also charged. None of the three men are believed to be in jail as of press time.

Sigel has a long history of arrests including weapons possession and parole violation charges. Back in 2005 he was acquitted of murder charges for a shooting that occurred in West Philadelphia.

As XXLMag.com previously reported Beans has a new CD coming out on September 1. The disc, titled The Broad Street Bully, will be released independently on Siccness Records and is described by label head Nemo Mitchell as more of a “mixtape” than a full-fledged studio album. –Elan Mancini

      What’s good J7?!

      That’s not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I figured he had pounds of the shit. Plus, split between three dudes lessens the charge, assuming they all took the rap.

      @Oaklands Own

      Out here in L.A., there’s literally hundreds of them spots. They might as well legalize it out here in Cali, tax the sells & put some money back into our faltering economy.

      Oh yeah, fuck Arnold Schwarzeneggar!

    Getting arrested days or weeks before ya album drops must be a new form of “free promo”. I can still remember when a rapper would drop a 12″ and then follow it up with an album. Yeah, I’m the “real” old school. If Beans get mo sales from getting arrested, than he would from promoting his shit, then take two and pass on his behalf…lol..oh yeah, for the record, “real” old school is when you can remember what you was doing the first time Rappers Delight hit the air waves, or if you form NY, years before Rappers Delight even dropped.

    Ha Ha, this idiot cant stay out of trouble. Its a shame that he’s been in and out of jail so many times. With kids, and baby mommas and everything else he is responsible for. I dont want to hear shit about no fucking hip hop police, or any of that other shit. This 30 something IDIOT wont be happy untill he does a long bid. SMH

    Does not change the fact that he’s a dope MC

  • Silly Willy

    Siegel got caught for having weed just the week after some guy was allowed to pack when meeting the president………

    I don’t know about you guys, but I think a smashed out Beanie can’t do shit against a strong-willed turtle, while a guy packing and meeting the president can, well, shoot the president……assuming his first name is not Plaxico…..

  • Chief GreenLeaf

    The real news is Beans is performing at a local tavern… An Irish tavern.

    Damn.

    • giantstepp

      Co-sign!

      Exactly what I was thinking.
      A local tavern? Kellys bar? Wow!
      Wasnt he rolling with Jay just a few years back?

  • justsayin

    It says “private event”. Somebody probably cashed out for him to be there that day and he didn’t even show up…sucks.

    and i live right by downtown oakland where Oaksterdam is at. My friend is takin classes there so he can learn to grow weed, legally.

      YO Dude talkin bout Oxycontin u a straghit nut! U gonna a dope habit messin with Oxy’s. Think Im playin Oxcontin is HERION in a pill. And if u listened 2 Beans music u whould hear Beans talk bout takin Percocet’s and Drinkin promethazine! U ain’t gotta be rich 2 get that opiate high dummy!

    @11KAP

    Calm down; don’t let your homo emotions get the best of you. Beans is far from a “star”. Snoop Dogg is a star. As in, if he’s walking down the street a white grandmother from Bumble Fuck Missouri will say “aren’t you that rapper guy I saw on TV?”…
    While if Beans would do the same thing, the bitch would clutch her purse and cross the street.
    Beans IS stupid. Anyone who has all that he has to lose, has serious priors, but still drives around with drugs is stupid. I don’t give a fuck how talented he is.
