Retired dancehall artist Mr. Lexx says Beenie Man didn’t just bite his style but also came for his head back in the day.

Mr. Lexx claims that Beenie Man was not a big fan of him coming into the game, changing things up, and even opening doors for younger artists, and he also tried to start a feud that he decided to squash.

While speaking on the Tongue Talk Podcast with Razor B, the artist shared that there was a lot of gatekeeping before he had his “buss” in music, but he decided to change things up after finding success. This did not come across well with others, he said.

“It was a lot of first in the industry. First of all, before me buss, ah one artist them use to buss a year. Thru the impact that him (Bounty Killer) and Beenie Man dem have on the industry, them level one artist a year. Before me buss, it was zebra, before Zebra buss it was Vegas, before Vegas buss it was Red Rat, before Red Rat buss it was Goofy…when me buss mi come change that. Me come say ‘yow, eh eh, seven or eight ah we can be hot at the same time’… me start par wid artist Chaka Diamond, Danny English, Kiprich,” Mr. Lexx says.

Mr. Lexx added, “me come in and change da whole thing deh weh dem feel that one artist can buss… it cause three big artists [to] come at me. Three of the biggest artists. Two of them, me go back to them and say ‘yow bredda you ah mi don and suh.’”

The artist revealed that Beenie Man also started a feud with him over the changes he made and even directed a diss song at him, “World Gone Mad,” released in 1999.

Mr. Lexx says Beenie Man stole his style of using “the God voice” by deejaying like him and even recorded a song that sounded like him.

“Beenie Man shoot at me and ah deejay like me… Beenie Man yuh ah my Gad but me and you can’t have that problem there bad man,” Mr. Lexx says was his response to Beenie Man, which quickly fizzled the beef.

Mr. Lexx reveals Mad Cobra also came at him

The other artist who came at him was Mad Cobra, he revealed, but he quickly quashed any tensions from becoming a feud.

“You see this thing when them say when you get to a certain level your idols become your rivals, that’s true. I lived that,” the dancehall veteran said.

Mr. Lexx did not name the other artist, whom he referred to only as ‘such man.’

Who is Mr. Lexx

Dancehall artist Mr. Lexx, formerly known as Lexxus, is one of the most recognized names in the dancehall genre from the late 1990s to the early 2000s era. The veteran deejay, whose real name is Christopher George Palmer, was one of the most prolific deejays to rise out of Kingston in the late 90s when dancehall was at its peak. His sudden emergence on the scene at the time earned him a lot of enemies, including his famous feud with Bounty Killer.

Lexx is best known for songs like “Full Hundred,” “Ring Mi Cellie,” “Cook,” and “Good Hole.” Over the years since the peak of his career, the artist has transitioned into acting, modeling, and TV, among other segments of the entertainment industry.

T.I. further shut down Boosie Badazz snitch allegations by showing receipts.

Rapper T.I. is providing paperwork to prove that he never snitched or cooperated with authorities and is now challenging those who question him about joining him to have a “paperwork party.” On Thursday, the Atlanta rapper shared a note and the front face of a court document seemingly to back up his earlier statements that the story was embellished and not true but merely an illustration that went over people’s heads.

“FYI…. can’t nobody who got dey name in other people’s paperwork question me about mine!” Tip wrote on Instagram Stories. “I got it on me…we can have a paperwork party… PULL UP or [hush emoji].”

via T.I. IG Story

T.I.’s did not directly mention Boosie, who spoke on the comments he made during a podcast aired in 2020 but going viral this week. Some in the hip-hop community speculated about Tip’s previous dealings with the ‘authorities’ due to his comments that he had a conversation with his dead cousin, Toot, to pin gun charges on him so he could get off since cops can’t get the dead.

Boosie said in a Vlad interview this week that he didn’t believe Tip as he never mentioned the incident during their decades-long friendship, and he believed Tip was going for podcast views when he made the comments. Nevertheless, Boosie takes a hard stance against all snitches and says that if the story is true, T.I. is no better than a “rat,” and he is ready to call their joint album off. Tip also blasted Boosie yesterday for running to the internet instead of speaking to him, and he also clarified that the comments were taken out of context.

“It came off a conversation I was having with my patna and I were having and that conversation was ‘hey bruh if me and you catch a case together and I die before you, it’s mine’…” off of that conversation, I created a set of circumstances and I thought that the embellishment was clear when I said that I talked to my cousin and he told [he was ok,’” T.I. said to Richard Benjamin from Trapper of the Trap News Network podcast.

The rapper added, “humour, satire and sarcasm, it escapes them.”

On Thursday, 50 Cent also trolled T.I. over the incident as he reshared an edited video of Boosie’s Vlad interview juxtaposed alongside T.I. on the podcast as if they were in Judge Mathis’ courtroom.

Whether the shots were for Boosie or 50 Cent, we’ll have to wait and see who responds.

Charleston White Defends T.I. while calling out Boosie Badazz

In the meantime, self proclaim ‘snitch’ Charleston White weighed in on the conversation and called out Boosie for having it easy in jail and implying that he might have received some favors in jail.

“Lil Boosie, you hollering you the last one left…Little Boosie, you must forgot Little Boosie Terrence Hatch, I know the n***as you was in Angola with. Don’t let me call Eric E-Solid up.… you did not walk the yard with killers in Angola. You was over there, you wasn’t over here. You was over there, you was not in population with the killers, the lions, gorilla, the burrows, the snakes, the tigers, the possums, and all the things the dangerous spiders they got lurking in Angola prison,” White said.

White called Boosie a “gazelle,” noting that his time in jail was nothing to talk about.

“You need to apologize to Tippy. F**k you talking about because it ain’t no paper. And everybody in the streets knows if it ain’t no paperwork it ain’t no go…You ain’t stand on a muthaf**king thing, Boosie safe as it was for you,” White added.

Meanwhile, fans were not convinced Tip was truthful.

“Google mandatory minimum sentencing and federal guidelines for automatic weapons and silencers and tell me TI not a snitch… I’ll wait,” one person wrote.

“The more Charleston keeps defending T.I. “Tippy” Harris the more I believe that Clifford had to told on something else other than his dead cousin,” another said.

Boosie has not responded to White as yet.

Drake might be getting ready to hang up the mic and possibly leave the music scene, leaving some fans emotional and DJ Envy putting in one last album request.

The rapper and his close friend Lil Yachty sat down for ‘A Moody Conversation’ against the backdrop of the beach, where they appeared to be discussing his career. Yachty is the interviewer, and Drake is talking where he says he is slowly getting to a point where he might be contemplating early retirement.

“I’m at the point now where I just like, I feel like we talked about this the other day…I feel like I’m kinda introducing the concept in my mind of a graceful exit,” the rapper said.

Drake has never spoken about what’s next after being named Billboard’s rapper of the 2010 decade two years ago and having an almost two-decade career that continues to evolve and reinvent itself.

The rapper is currently the most-streamed rapper in the United States, and for overall music, he is second to Bad Bunny in the world. He first came onto the scene as a Degrassi actor, but Drake worked hard to establish himself as a Canadian on the hip-hop scene that is primarily in the United States.

His early years as a rapper also saw Drake trying to break through criticisms from many on the hip-hop scene due to his lyrics deviating from the norm of hardcore lyrics.

With his latest album, ‘Her Loss’, Drake achieved 12 No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart and 12 No. 1 tracks on the Billboard Hot 100. ‘Her Loss’ released in November last year debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and sold 404,000 equivalent album units in its first week, according to stats from Luminate.

Drake’s record is third behind The Beatles with 19 and Jay-Z with 14.

The Toronto rapper previously spoke about his musical legacy and how he wanted to leave music, and he has continued to help other artists by collaborating and giving them a platform they would otherwise not have access to.

Still, we’ll have to wait and see what Drake says about retiring from music, especially since he has his OVO label that has signed a series of artists.

If Drake should retire now from hip hop, he would be hanging up the mic at almost the peak of his career. Presently, he is the most commercially success rapper in history with some major landmark title like the most streamed artist on the planet. It’s safe to say that Drake dominates the streaming era and was recently named the first artist to reach 75 billion streams on Spotify.

DJ Envy requests that Drake release a final all hip hop/rap album

DJ Envy, who is a fan of Drake music, says he wants the Canadian rapper to release an all rap album before hanging up his mic.

“I think Drake need that one album, that one hip hop/rap album,” the Breakfast Club co-host said. “That’s just me, am a Drake fan and I want that one hip hop/rap like with all these freestyles and he is going in. I need a album like that.”

Charlamagne Tha God disagrees with DJ Envy saying Drizzy is not even in his top 10 rappers of all time.

“Drake teases us because he is spitting right,” Envy responded. “I drove to the station today listening to Drake and he’s going in going crazy and I want to hear a full album like that and I think it will stop some of the doubters all the time. I mean am a Hov (Jay-Z) fan am a lyricist fan, I like when he spits.”
