Beanie Sigel Doesn’t Want $50 M From Kanye West, He Only Wants 1 Thing For Yeezy Name Origin

Beanie Sigel isn’t interested in receiving any money from Kanye West after coming up with his “Yeezy” nickname all those years ago. During the first part of his Drink Champs interview on November 4, Kanye admitted Sigel was the first person to call him “Yeezy” and that he’d been trying to send a check to the Philly rapper for creating the famous moniker.

Sigel just take the money after that and your 5 % you can put your great ideas to work .. without risk to your family respect that you have morals and all applaud it .. but dont leave this rap game broke

[supercarmeloshow]

This dude is going to fuck up $50 million lol 😂

[msjameicesawyer]

It's not a handout it's a blessing 🙏 Be blessed Beanie

[freakmob]

I understand fishing but in this case if he give you 5% you don’t ever have to fish. Neither will your family. And you can take the 50m and invest in your ideas. Something will stick

[criminalminded]

That’s 5% alone is generating money forever probably he’s bugging out.

[DrTreAllDay]

I’m sorry, this is another “Would you take $500, 000 or have dinner with Jay-z” scenario. There’s no guarantee that any proposed business plan Beanie has with Kanye is going to generate anywhere near $50 million plus 5% stock in Yeezy. Just take the money and start your business on an elevated playing field, instead of running from behind and struggling for no reason.

[OGKUSHOGKUSH]

Beans a real dude but damn bro c'mon man .He keeping it real alright .. Real dumb.u already earned it Beans ! U been put in work.ur music will not be the same, u sound completely different.

[obu]

Beanie doesn't get it. Kanye wants to pay him off to say later; "I owe nobody nothing now" and move on with the upper echelon. Definitely has no interest nor time to start a biz w/someone like Beans.

[sephjonesMD]

People have made more money for doing less, beanie is buggin. He ready did his part, and now he's walking away from what he earned. He should take it, and invest. Don't block the blessing.

[Mr.keesely]

We need Beans to take the bread and go scout out some more talent from Philly, since his voice ain’t the same no more.

[reimourrpower]

Salutes to Beans, a real one. And all y'all doubting his plan and can't see the brotherhood bond he has with Ye, open your eyes.

[phonkp]

I'm happy to see Beanie looking so healthy, so he can take the dinner with Jay-Z all he want.

[jamesross]

Beanie is like that one cousin from the streets that will always have your back, when spending those summers at your aunt's house in the hood 💯💯

[suthurnfaze]

I dont understand his logic on not taking the money and 5% does he not understand that sets him up and his family for life??? He can always do business with him, not making sense

[maximusdecimusmeridius]

Everyone saying take the money is missing the point that morally Beanie doesn’t want a handout for something that Kanye created from his blood, sweat, and tears and to me that’s speaks volumes to both of their character. Going into a business w/ Kanye is likely worth more long term for his family than taking the handout because of the brand that Kanye has created. Kanye has the midas touch!

[fanfan_the_haitian]

Ye is doing that as a gesture of gratitude, and Sigel is out here trying to reach for more. Ye was not obligated in any shape or form to give back. The name by itself is nothing without the carreer of Kanye. Just take the money and 5% royalties.

[blkrr]

“He worked too hard for this” real man💯

[MsJP]

It's funny how ppl can mess their blessing up

[Luke_Segovia]

If dude can’t figure out how to make more money after getting 50 million plus the Yeezy percentage then maybe trying to figure out business ventures isn’t a wise move.

[GOATLAVISH]

Use the 50mil for your own business ventures and that 5% in Yeezy stock is 80-100mil a year alone. Is like Jordan living off the Jordan brand he has 8% stock and receives 80mil a year
