He was booed off stage at a show celebrating the visit of Nelson Mandela. In 1993 at the very popular show Sting he accused fellow deejay Bounty Killer that the elder artist had stolen his catchphrase, "people dead". This triggered a lyrical battle which continued on the air with each artist counteracting the other's songs. Finally, in 1995, Beenie Man and Bounty Killer settled their differences on the air by actually signing a peace treaty and the two recorded an album together, Guns Out. This was followed by a single, "No Mama No Cry", a rehash of the Bob Marley classic "No Woman No Cry", speaking out against violence and inspired by the murder of Pan Head, another popular Deejay.
Partially as a result of prodding from his producers, Sly and Robbie, Beenie Man soon converted to the Rastafari movement.
In 1994, he was signed by Island Records and released the critically acclaimed album Blessed.
In 1995, Beenie Man released a remix of Barrington Levy's "Under Mi Sensi" in the United Kingdom, and collaborated with Dennis Brown and Triston Palma to release Three Against War and Lt. Stitchie on Mad Cobra Meets Lt. Stitchie & Beenie Man. He took another step up the ladder in 1996, releasing the seminal Maestro, produced by Patrick Roberts and shot him to UK fame. During the period from the mid to late '90s, Beenie Man dominated the Jamaican charts to the extent that he perhaps had a good claim to the crown of "Dancehall King", a title only bestowed previously on Yellowman in the early 1980s.
In 1998, Beenie Man signed to Virgin Records to release albums in the United States. His first American offering was The Doctor (1998). In 2000, Beenie Man teamed up with Arturo Sandoval and Wyclef Jean (The Fugees) to release The Art & Life. During the late 1990s, Beenie Man began his conquest of America with the hits, "Romie", "Who Am I" and "Girls Dem Sugar", which featured American R&B singer, Mya.
In 2002, he had a sizeable hit with a duet with Janet Jackson called "Feel It Boy", but his biggest break in America came in early 2004 with the release of a remix of "Dude", featuring guest vocals by fellow Jamaican Ms. Thing, as well as rhymes by Shawnna.

The song "Hot In" by Beenie Man is a catchy dancehall track that celebrates the vibrant and energetic atmosphere of a block party in Jamaica. The lyrics depict the artist receiving a phone call from a friend named Nicky who informs him that they have turned on the fire hydrant on the road to cool down the scorching hot weather in the area. This prompts Beenie Man to leave his nap and head to his town, where he witnesses a lively gathering of people. He calls for rum, ice, and for the DJ to set up the sound system, highlighting his desire to fuel the festive atmosphere.
The chorus emphasizes the idea of Jamaicans being mentally sharp and aware ("Jamaican, yuh know wi brain hot, di grades high an di grabba black"). It also references the presence of a pool party nearby, highlighting the combination of hot weather and attractive women wearing bikinis. The second verse further expresses admiration for the women present, describing them as beautiful and comparing their legs to the Mississippi River. The artist even jokingly offers to donate his liver to any woman who reveals their secret under the covers.
In the final verse, Beenie Man acknowledges that despite receiving numerous invites from women, he is focused on one particular woman who has caught his attention. He tells his friend Fambo to bring more rum and mentions the enjoyment of music, high-quality marijuana, and women with voluptuous bodies. The song ultimately captures the essence of Jamaican culture, with its emphasis on music, partying, and the beauty of its people.
