Beenie Man has quite a following in Jamaica. Beenie Man, born Anthony Moses Davis is recognized as a promenent dancehall artist. Beenie Man has been in the musica industry since 1980, when he won the Tastee Talent Contest. At the age of eight (one year later) he recorded, Too Fancy with Producer "Junjo" Lawes. BeenieMan grew up in the Shabba Ranks, Ninjaman and Admiral Bailey era.


Sadly Beenie Man became popular for his feuding with Bounty Killer. Bounty accused Beenie Man in 1993 of Plagarism. Back then they had very similar sounds. Beenie man , like Buju Banton, is on the list of Reggae Artist that have very homophobic lyrics.
