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.

Repeat chorus and verse 1 until end
The song "My Dickie" by Beenie Man is a reggae/dancehall track that centers around sexual encounters between the artist and different women. The lyrics of the song are sexually explicit and objectify the female body. The intro to the song sets the tone for the rest of the track, with Beenie addressing his audience as "sexy ladies" and "babies." He then goes on to say that if a woman is worth it, he would "work it," implying that he would engage in sexual activity with her.
In the chorus, he explicitly talks about his "dickie" (slang for penis) entering a woman's vagina, while also suggesting that if a woman has a "tight puss," he will have to use force. The language used in the chorus and the repetition of the phrase "my dickie dickie inna your pum" (my penis in your vagina) serves to reinforce the idea of male dominance and control over women's bodies.
In the verse, he continues to objectify women, suggesting that he wants to "own" them and use his "cocky" (penis) on them. He also makes derogatory comments about oral sex and expresses a desire to make a woman cry out in pain.
Overall, the lyrics of "My Dickie" are problematic and perpetuate harmful attitudes towards women. They reinforce the idea that women exist solely for the pleasure of men and that male sexual dominance is acceptable.

If you're worth it, I'll put in the effort to please you. I'm a bad boy, but I'm not into anything nasty. We're going to have sex, and it's going to be my penis inside your vagina.
if you have a tight puss me dick will search it find out how hard a gotta force it cause it's my dickie dickie inna your pum my dickie dickie inna your pum
If your vagina is tight, I'll do what it takes to fit inside. I'll figure out how much force is necessary, because, as you know, it's my penis inside your vagina.

I want to get to know you more intimately so I can show you how good I am in bed. I'm not interested in just having a meal with you. It doesn't matter if you're shaved or not, I'm not going to go down on you like a slut. I have a penis that can make you scream, and I'm going to make sure you're completely satisfied.

You've been with some older, unexciting guys in the past. But you've just run into a real man, a bad boy. You come to me multiple times, and I've already cut you to show you who's boss. You don't deserve oral sex from me. But I'll fuck you so good it'll be like playing a drum, and all kinds of women love my song.
