Beanie Sigel Claims JAY-Z Ghostwrote for Memphis Bleek
Beanie Sigel has made a bold claim, alleging that JAY-Z ghostwrote for Memphis Bleek, her former labelmate and protégé. Sigel, a respected rapper and songwriter, contends that he contributed substantial portions of the lyrics to Bleek’s discography, which was heavily produced and overseen by JAY-Z.
Sigel made the accusation while appearing on a podcast, where he stated that he was unhappy with the lack of credit given to his work on Bleek’s music. He claimed that he was not properly compensated or acknowledged for his contributions, despite the significant role he played in the writing of Bleek’s tracks.
The Hollywood Exchange marks the latest salvo in an ongoing feud between Sigel and JAY-Z. The two rappers have had a complicated history, with issues dating back to the early 2000s. Sigel has previously accused JAY-Z of exploiting him and draining his creativity, and has also been critical of the way JAY-Z handled his departure from Roc-A-Fella Records, the legendary label co-founded by JAY-Z.
If Sigel’s claims are true, it would be a significant revelation, given the immense success enjoyed by Memphis Bleek during his run at Roc-A-Fella. The fast-rising star was one of the label’s flagship acts, and his debut album, “Coming of Age,” was widely praised for its lyrical depth and production quality.
JAY-Z and Roc-A-Fella Records have yet to respond to Sigel’s claims, but the rap community is abuzz with the news. As the feud between JAY-Z and Beanie Sigel continues to escalate, one thing is clear: this is not the end of the drama surrounding the once-mighty Roc-A-Fella Empire.
