Beanie Sigel Says He Doesn't Want Kanye West's Money

Philly rapper Beanie Sigel is the man Ye recently credited for the Yeezy handle shouting him out in a "Drink Champs" interview, and saying he's been trying for years to pay Sigel a lump sum of cash for the name. Beanie and former Rocafella artist Young Chris Beanie tells us the "Yeezy" name itself is only a tiny fraction of the brand Kanye has created and it's Kanye's genius and work ethic that turned the nickname into a multi-billion dollar brand. Sigel says he doesn't want Ye's money, but he'd love it if Ye could help him out in a business deal. Beanie says all he needs is a starter, and from there he'll work to build his own empire. You can tell it's nothing but love between the old friends. We're told previous reports that Kanye had offered Beanie $50 million and stock options were simply based on a joke Beanie told in a club, and there was no truth to it. Ye's Yeezy shoes have been culture-shifting not to mention the fashion line and other products he's rolled out on the brand -- all of which has helped Kanye amass a reported $6.6 billion fortune.
