===Yellowman feud=== In 2006, veteran deejay [[Yellowman]] publicly chastised Beenie Man for his hit "[[King of the Dancehall (song)|King of the Dancehall]]". Known as "King Yellowman" since the 1980s, the deejay took exception to Beenie Man proclaiming himself "king", as well as comments Beenie made regarding his appearance. Regarding the title of "king", Yellowman stated: "Him trying to make people feel like him was here before me, but him never deh here before me, because dem planning to do dem official crowning them claim say is an official crowning but dem a use some a di media as some of them organisation ...".<ref>{{cite news|last=Anglin-Christie|first=Kavelle|title=Long live the 'King'....

He's got a rough thing about him, Jamaicans like that from the [[Shabba Ranks|Shabba Rankin]]' days and the [[King Stitt]] days and the Yellowman days. They like ugly people."<ref name=Yardflex>{{cite web|last=Mattic|first=Jigga|title=Yellowman calls Beenie a hypocrite β "me wear pants, him wear skirt."|url=http://www.yardflex.com/archives/000800.html|publisher=Yardflex.com|access-date=10 May 2013|date=9 October 2006}}</ref> Yellowman responded, "Him can diss me all him like, but him caan diss the Jamaican public.
