Beenie Man ailing from "shag" by Tads Records?

Beenie Man and Kartel
Beenie Man who is now recovering from his hip surgery and appears to be recovering well at least so we thought. Jamaicandancehallmusic.com understands that Beenie Man is once again ailing ..this time its due to actions taken by Tads Records. Apparently Tads Records, according to media reports, went ahead and purchased the rights of songs done by Beenie Man from local producers, made a compilation and published an album on itunes. Now the report indicated that Beeenie Man and his management team got a call from the Universal Music Group about the matter as they too had interest in the matter because Beenie is signed to them. However it seems neither Beenie or UMG had taken any drastic action to deter Tads Records from making such a move.. which gives the impression that whatever they are doing it is very much legal and legitimate. Beenie indicated that this blatant disrespect to him as they could have had the courtesy to engage him before doing such a thing. There was no effort to acquire his permission or make him aware of what is happening.
Im not sure if this is a regular practice from Tads as they have been deeeply involved with Vybz Kartel's production..go figures since the company is affiliated with Corey Todd Kartel's so called business partner. The record company is set to release a number of new tracks which includes the likes of QQ and I'Octane. The releases thus far includes mix albums which includes Beenie Man himself along side Queen Ifrica, Buju Banton, Gramps Morgan, Tammy Chin, Konshens etc..
While some are arguing thats its not quite ethical on the part of Tads.. others are indicating that Beenie Man is a mean MF that doesnt gives away fly.. and its the Producers who he should be getting at.. and perhaps buy the rights from them instead..
