On Tuesday (Oct 27) Beenie Man took to social media to share an update amid rumors that he was hospitalized after fainting at his mother’s funeral after footage of the dancehall icon passing out in front of his mother's casket began circulating the web last weekend.
The legendary deejays have been locked in battles dating back to the early 1990s and this friendly one-on-one competition was intense while also extremely humorous.
The highly anticipated battle between Beenie Man and Bounty Killer was not only monumental, but it was the first time in history that the two legends appeared on the same stage to participate in the #Verzuz Battle, which is usually all virtual. On Saturday (May 23), streamed live from Kingston, Jamaica, the Memorial Day “Soundclash Edition” of Swizz Beatz and Timbaland’s flagship IG Live series was easily the most exciting and entertaining yet, as well as the first to delve into Dancehall Reggae. Although the showdown wasn't a typical Jamaican Clash, it did incorporate elements from the Clash culture adding it to the unique #Verzuz battle format, creating an amazing experience for everyone tuned in, while simultaneously tapping into an epic rivalry that stretches back more than 25-years.
The two talented deejays have been among the best dancehall reggae artists for the best two decades.
