Daddy1 Allegedly ‘Boxed Down’ In Clash With Beenie Man’s Entourage

Reports are surfacing that the malice between veteran dancehall artiste Beenie Man and the 6ix’s Daddy1 seems to have escalated into a physical confrontation after a member of Beenie’s team allegedly ‘boxed down’ (slapped) the young dancehall artiste.

Update: Beenie Man Denies Responsibility For Spice, Daddy1 Being ‘Boxed Down’

In a recent Instagram Live, controversial dancehall selector Foota Hype, who is usually a source of insider information, revealed details of what allegedly unfolded between the two artistes when they crossed paths at Big Yard Studio in Jamaica yesterday.

Beenie Man and the 6ix clan, which includes their boss Squash and Chronic Law, have been at odds since the Montego Bay-based group disappointed Beenie and his team at the Summa Sizzle show last year. The group’s spokesperson, Junior ‘Heavy D’ Fraser, had claimed that their absence from the show was due to unprofessional negotiations.

This situation seems to continue to bother Beenie Man, who, despite insisting that he had no issues with the 6ix, has used various opportunities since the show to attack the artistes.  During an interview in May, the 46-year-old singer dragged Daddy1 by saying his lyrics were difficult to understand because they were too much like rap music.  He further made fun of the lyrics by offering up his own garbled translation, and then said, “No disrespect. If you ah do Dancehall, you do Dancehall. If you a rapper, you a rapper.”  

Hype, who seems to have received his information from multiple third parties, says, “dem a say Daddy1 start it. Daddy1 dem a say a Beenie start it. Cz dem a say from the show and dem never go the show, Beenie nuh see none a dem from that, him nuh see Squash, him nuh see Chronic Law, him nuh see Daddy1, so the first him a buck up one a dem now.”

“Based pon the first allegation, dem say Daddy1 ah pree Beenie from when the six team never go up in de show, and Beenie make ah bag ah chat so when him see Beenie he tuff up him face, and him pass Beenie and bounce Beenie,” Foota said.

Hype said following this first mini confrontation, Beenie asked Daddy1 why he ‘bounced’ [shouldered] him but this did not stop Daddy1 from again passing by Beenie Man and bouncing him once again.

“Him and Beenie catch up in ah argument now and dem get in ah loud argument,” he added. Beenie’s entourage restrained Daddy1 in an attempt to diffuse the situation, he continued.

Heated words were exchanged and “a member of Beenie entourage now mussi hold on pon Daddy1 and say yow, ‘lowe dat dawg, zeen’, so Daddy 1 nuh know him, cz you know you’re in an argument, and  a man hold on pon yuh, so Daddy1 flash him [pushes him off] saying– so wam to yuh b****man don’t touch me.”

The situation became volatile, as the two entourages continued to clash and at least one licensed firearm was brandished, Foota said in his Live video.

However, Daddy1’s team is apparently telling a different story which blames Beenie for starting the confrontation by bouncing Daddy1, because he wanted to get his attention and because he had not seen any of 6ix’s crew members since being disappointed by them at the show last year.

According to Foota Hype, the confrontation became physical after Daddy1 told Beenie to “go suck yuh m@#da”. This must have gotten under Beenie’s skin as his mother was recently released from hospital after surviving a stroke.

At this point, the Jamaican insult seems to have enraged a Beenie Man camp member, and he reacted by slapping the 21-year-old, Foota Hype says. “The member of Beenie Man entourage now box Daddy1 and Daddy1 drop a grung. A member of Daddy1 entourage move to the man that box down Daddy1 and hold on pon him waist. The member of Beenie Man entourage is a licenced firearm holder, and licensed firearm argument start and peer sitten, sitten, yuh zimi.”

Foota said “it look like both a dem a carry belly [feelings] from the show.”

The DJ expressed the hope that there will be no further physical confrontations between the two teams and called on them to conduct themselves accordingly.

He, however, warned that it should be a lesson to young deejays in the business that some artistes are very serious about their craft and will go to great lengths to get their point across.
