The complications in the relationship between Beanie Siegel and Jay-Z has taken another turn, with the former saying Jay let him down.
The two men are reportedly in a decent place at the moment, but that hasn’t stopped Beanie Sigel from airing out some of Jay-Z’s dirty laundry. He sat down with the Art of Dialogue, and claimed that Jay-Z actually ghostwrote songs for another Roc-A-Fella protege, Memphis Bleek.
He didn’t stop there; he went on to say that his boss always gave Bleek the edge when all three of them got on a song together.
“Of course, Jay helped Bleek out on a lot of sh*t,” Beanie Sigel asserted. “You can hear it.” He told the fans to keep an ear out for Memphis Bleek’s rhyme scheme. Siegel then accused him of “cheating” for Bleek when it came time to show out on Roc posse cuts. “He had to cheat for Bleek,” Beans explained. “Especially if us three was on a record together. If I ain’t right there with Jay, too far behind him, Bleek wouldn’t have stood a chance.”

Beanie Sigel isn’t the only person who has accused Memphis Bleek of needing a ghostwriter. Dame Dash, the co-founder of Roc-A-Fella, made a similar claim in a 2024 interview.
“Jay was writing a lot of his rhymes, so if Jay retired, that meant Bleek’s business would’ve ended too,” Dash alleged. Memphis Bleek clapped back at Dash via Twitter.
The rapper dismissed the ghostwriting claims and accused his former boss of saying anything for attention. “He wilding right now, bro,” Bleek tweeted out.
