Throughout his career, Beanie Sigel has been one of the rappers who “really do the stuff that he be rappin’ about.” Because of this, Beanie Sigel has had his fair share of problems with law enforcement, spending much of 2004 and 2005 in prison. Upon being released, Beanie Sigel was preparing to get his career back on track, but Roc-A-Fella Records was close to closing its doors.

Beanie Sigel released one more album in 2007 and began dissing Jay-Z and Memphis Bleek in 2009, before ending his vendetta. Over the past year, Beanie Sigel has been focused on getting his career back on track. The Philadelphia rapper soon laded a record deal with Ruffhouse Records, but was sentenced to two years in prison for tax evasion.

Being sentenced to prison did not stop Beanie Sigel from releasing This Time and continuing his promotion. However, earlier today, while riding through Philadelphia, Beanie Sigel was pulled over the law enforcement. In a routine traffic check, Beanie Sigel was caught with $4,650, coedine syrup and presciption pills. With a gun also found, Beanie Sigel was arrested and will likely be facing additional charges.
