Beenie Man fires Ruff Kut band just days before Reggae Sunsplash

BeenieMan_SexyGirls_ModelsJamaicanMusic_Rihanna_SeanPaul.jpgGrammy-award winning deejay Beenie Man has parted ways with his backing band, Ruff Kut, just three days before his performance on this year's International Night of Reggae Sunsplash 2006.

Speaking by phone from Trinidad today, Beenie Man told YardFlex.Com that on Tuesday, August 1, he heard that the duo Twins of Twins, with whom he has had an ongoing friction in recent months, was rehearsing at the Shocking Vibes studio with the backing band, Ruff Kut. Angered by this development, he went to the studio and declared that the Twins of Twins should leave, but manager Patrick Roberts and the Ruff Kut band insisted instead that the duo stay and rehearse. The situation soon spiralled out of control.

"Right now, mi fire everybody," Beenie Man declared.
"Twins of Twins caan rehearse wid my band, inna my place, dem nah back me again, 'cause even dem waan diss me too 'cause dem say if me disrespect Twins and tell dem fi leave, dem (Ruff Kut) ah go leave too. Me ah big man, mi nah tek no disrespect from dem either. The world know say the Twins no like me, so how dem fi waan let dem through my gate, there's no need fi dem to be in my place, but even Patrick (Roberts) tek dem side inna it, so mi get vex, man," Beenie explained.

"Is like the backing band orchestrate the whole thing, dem mussi get a better offer from Shaggy or some other artiste. Dem invite the man dem inna my place, mi no hate the Twins, if me see dem now, mi nah go fight dem, but mi nuh waan dem inna my place, and when mi no like it, the band all ah tek fi dem side. Mi all play the Twins CD fi mek dem hear how the man dem diss me, and the man dem walk 'way, everyman walk way, so right now, me ah look fi rebuild, me dun wid Ruff Kut. Is a new band mi a look fi work wid ah Reggae Sunsplash on Saturday night when mi come in from Trinidad, mi sort it out."

As it relates to his manager, Patrick Roberts, Beenie said: "Him no call me, me no call him, but him shoulda be the one to defend me, me shoulda be his main priority."

The Ruff Kut band has been with Beenie Man for almost seven years.

Patrick Roberts laughed off claims that Beenie Man had dismissed him, saying it was all a misunderstanding.

"I told him I was done with him because of how disrespectfully he was behaving towards the band members, the expletives he was using, and him say, 'yu done wid me, if yu do that, mi war wid you', and then call Irie FM, and say 'oonu waan news?'," Mr. Roberts related, laughing.

"Mi say to him Moses, ah foolishness yu a do, but him start shout 'me ah de king', you know Beenie. But he needs to understand the rehearsal room is rented to the public, and further, Twins of Twins genuinely realise that after what happened in Portland, they need to mend fences with Beenie Man, or else they wouldn't have come here in the first place," he said.

Roberts added that he had met with the band today and that it was still up in the air as to whether it would be "an amicable departure or a continued relationship in the future".

"It all depends on the artiste," he said.

Beenie Man returns to the island on Saturday morning.

Beenie Boy is a fool. This competition with Bounty about who is the real King of the Dancehall is getting the better of him. First, he took up arch-rivals ex-girl which is a suicidal move in the Dancehall world. Now, his manager asks him why he behaved like that towards his backing band of 7 years, and his response is 'Me a di King!.He is losing it!!!!!!

Beenie is so juvenile. Him love mek trouble, but when a time fi war him always claim clerency, and innocense. Him mek no sense. Everyone is starting to see through his fascade. He needs to be pampered all the time, and get his ego boosted all the time from the people around him. Wrong is wrong. If yuh wrong, why should di man dem tek your side?

How does someone self-proclaim royalty? How is Beenie going around saying that he is "The" King of the dancehall. Mi neva si dis inna my life. He has no respect for the greats before him, like Yellowman. He is in some deep insecure rut.

Beenie grow up. Yuh mek nuff big hits, and have some good songs. But the people have to make you King. Yuh eva si anybody go inna office by themself, without people voting?

Get real, and true to yourself Moses. Blessing all the time. Nuff blessings wid your wedding.

bEENIE IS ACTING LIKE A TRUE DIVA. IS THE BOI A MAN OR A GAL


Posted by: Kemar on August 3, 2006 12:50 PM

The truth is i feel the doctor was realy hurt by some of the things the twins say and do when it come to unto him. then to hear that the same persons are at His place was a hard one to swallow. However if the twins finally come to there sences after the blind dawg show and want to mend fences i feel the Doctor should at least look at it and give them a chance

Beenie Man have all right fi get mad at twins, ruff cut, and so call manager patrick roberts. That rehersal was total disrespect to Beenie Man after knowing he had a fued with the twins in places of all places, shocking vibes studios which he built. I cant believe that his band and manager would oversea such a thing, that is betrayal. In life you are either with me or against me.
Beenie Man is the King of the Dancehall what were they thinking, saying "rehersal time is open to the pulic it was just business" in my view they sold him out for two comedians.
Beenie Man needs to get a new manager, band and a team that are devoted to him exclusively.
Beenie, just keep focus and do what you do best music, hits and lyrics.

I am not a beenie man fan, but the man did what he had to done for dancehall, he is really a king, I am not saying that yellow man is not a king, but after becoming a prince then you become a king, yellow man days are over, yellow man was the king in his time now beenie man is the king - I sure know that when you guys go to party or club you rather listen to some beenie man song instead of yellow man - as a matter a fact beenie man is so good, you can listen beenie songs all night without getting bored, beenie man is good please give the man his props, then bounty now is a good artiste but all of his songs sound a like - that guy does not have any style at all.
Bounty need to take page out of beenie's book.

Boy what a way how life funny, twins of twins get bottle a few weeks ago for dissing beenie man and the man was not even at the show. Now them realised that beenie is the man so them want to beg friend by spending money at his studio, but guess what beenie run them out, if I were they I would have been shame just to even walk in the man place knowing that they don't like him, mi nuh wrong beenie for what he do, you trust them bowy deh. Why dem nuh go borrow bounty studio. Youth beenie is indeed the king of dancehall, because the same people who say they don't like beenie man is them same one go a stage show and rail for him, when you see the king hail him.
We Jamaicans love violence, how can you call your self a killa, would you want your child coming home saying that they want to be like bounty killa or would you rather if they say that they want to be like beenie man - think about and choose wisely. it's your child's future.

I AGREE TWINS OF TWINS AND BEENIE MAN ARE ENEMIES NOBODY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT. BUT THE RUFF KUT BAND HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THERE ARGUMENT BEENIE SHOULD NOT MAKE THAT A PROBLEM. EG: HIM AND BOUNTY ARE ENEMIES. BUT HE IS GETTING MARRIED TO BOUNTY EX IN FACT HAVING A CHILD FOR BOUNTY EX WHY HIM NEVER SAY HIM NO WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH D ANGEL BECAUSE BOUNTY IS MY ENEMY. CHECK THE LEVEL BEENIE YOU NOT MAKING SENSE YOU THINK WHEN BOUNTY AND DANGEL WHERE NICE TOGETHER THEM NEVER CHAT YOU WITH ONE ANOTHER SO WHO YOU THINK IS YOUR WORSE ENEMY D ANGEL OR RUFF KUT THINK ABOUT IT!

Beenie has consistently proved himself to be a undercover trouble-maker. In front of John public he is a peacemaker. Behind the scenes he starts conflicts. this can be proven with arguments over the years with artistes such as Bounty,Buju,Capleton,Elephant,Determine, more recently Cham and twins Of twins. There is no doubt that this man is one of the countries finest performers. However to appoint one's self king without regard to your predecessors is just unacceptable.Beenie cannot be the king of dancehall if Shaggy's Hotshot album sold over 11 million copies worlwide and still counting and not even advocating that Shaggy is the king because he isnt. versatility should also be one of the criteria of any king of dancehall. Moses is undoubtedly the girls dem sugar but the title king of the dancehall would definitely belong to the most versatile deejay to hit jamaica....Mark myrie AKA Buju Banton...Beenie has yet to pen any lyrics similiar to the calibre of Til Shiloh,Good God Of My Salvation,Never wanna see you cry,Till i'm laid to rest,Murderer,Operation Ardent,Vigalante who can ever forget Boom Bye Bye,Blackening, Browning Stamina Daddy, you make my day and numerous combinations with Beres,Wayne Wonder and many more

The twins signed a contract with reggae sunsplash obligating them to rehearse at shocking vibes because thats where the festival booked time for the artistes on dancehall night to rehearse, including alliance members busy and aidonia. the only problem is spoiled little gyal beenie doesnt want anyone but himself to succeed, that is the behavior of a "joker" not a "king"

Posted by: Swimm on August 7, 2006 04:47 AM

The thing ppl dont realize is this place that "belong to beenie" where the Twins came to rehearse is a PUBLIC studio where one pays for studio time....Its a business thing and has nothing to do with personal feelings...is nto liek it was in his living room...its in a studio he happens to own but still its a money transaction business thing....if u cant put your personal issues away in a business sitation than u are a true little girl...Lets not forget who try to sabotage dem first....Beenie the one who caught feelings initially and tried to sabotage their stage performances...its quite obvious he cant handle his emoptions and he lets them rule his actions like a woman...


yo for real...beenie is one feminine man from wat i seeing lately


Posted by: muffy on August 16, 2006 08:11 AM

Diedre, I am with you on this. Beenie continues to prove what media and others are saying about his Girlish behaviors of late. I could have sworn last time I checked that place was a public place. He is stressing that Twins of Twins disrespected him, has he not disrespected many other deejays in his whole career? Every time he gets a little air time he disses War Lord,even his own baby mother he has disrespected, yet she is having his baby and still sleeps with him. If he is all about showing respect and getting respect in addition to ridding the dancehall of those that dissed him then he needs to get rid of Angel. Should'nt she classify him as an enemy for disssing her and vice versa? Beenie grow up dawg and stop acting as if you are the one carrying the baby.People I believe stardom has gotten to Beenie's head and he obvisouly does not know how to hang with it. His woman has compared themselves to Brangelina, if so, Beenie please pattern Brad's demeanor and stop acting like a WUSS.
