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 “She Love Me” by Beenie Man is about the doubts and uncertainty we face in a relationship when we are not sure if our partner loves us back. The chorus is direct and to the point, the singer wants to know if his partner loves him and if he is the only one for her. He wants her to show him that she feels the same way he does about her. In the first verse, the singer seems to be confused about the status of their relationship, as he wonders if he is the only one for her. He is frustrated that he has invested so much time in her, and he is not getting any return on investment. He is getting advice from his friends that she may not be true to him.
In the second verse, the singer declares his love for his partner, but she is not responding to his advances. He gave her his heart, but he is not sure if she will reciprocate. They used to be close, they used to talk a lot, and joke around with each other, but things have changed. He is willing to do anything for her, but he senses that something is not quite right. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the singer's desire for reassurance from his partner.
Overall, the song has a simple message about the uncertainties we all face in relationships. It is filled with emotions that listeners who can relate to. The lyrics express the need for validation, and the frustration that comes with not getting the response you desire from the person you love.

Eli C Oh buddy, I do believe he meant that "the new generation" doesn't understand the vibe of this song. In addition, they listen to it but don't fully understand what this man has done for the industry. Furthermore, he and I are on the same page and you aren't.
