Beenie Man Reflects on the True Meaning of Entertainment in WGLS Radio Interview

In a recent interview with WGLS Radio, dancehall icon Beenie Man delivered some powerful words about the essence of performance and unity in music. Reflecting on a memorable 2001 performance at Spectrum, the interviewer recalled seeing Beenie tap dancing on stage—an unforgettable moment that left a lasting impression.

"That was the first time I saw that... I was like wow. That’s why they need an entertainer—able to do all that," the host shared, speaking to Beenie Man’s unmatched stage presence and showmanship.

Beenie responded with heartfelt wisdom, explaining that true entertainment goes far beyond having the latest hit.

"It’s not about being scared of this man because of the latest song," he said. "It’s about working together because your fans are there... it’s about what the people want to hear."

He emphasized that when artists put egos aside and focus on giving fans love, energy, and an unforgettable experience, nothing can stop that magic.

"Show them who you are, show them what you stand for—everybody goes home feeling good," Beenie added.

As he prepares for his May 24th concert at UBS Arena, this interview is a timely reminder of why Beenie Man remains one of the most respected and beloved entertainers in the world: he brings unity, joy, and pure performance every time he hits the stage.
