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 lyrics to "Wine Gal" by Beenie Man describe the act of a woman moving and shaking her body sensually, with the intention of attracting male attention. The chorus encourages women to "take the middle" and "buss a wine" (or perform a sexually suggestive dance move) to show off their bodies. The verses go into explicit detail about sexual acts and preferences, with Beenie Man describing himself as a skilled lover who can satisfy any woman's desires. The overall message of the song is one of sexual liberation and empowerment, with women being encouraged to celebrate their bodies and desires.
However, the lyrics to "Wine Gal" have been controversial in Jamaica and other countries, with some critics claiming that the song promotes sexism and objectification of women. Beenie Man has been criticized in the past for homophobic lyrics in his songs, and some have argued that "Wine Gal" is another example of his problematic attitudes towards women and sexuality. Despite this, the song remains popular in dancehall and reggae circles, and has been covered by other artists such as Elephant Man and Vybz Kartel.
