Dame Dash suffers from a particularly biblical sort of curse. He turns into a pillar of salt any time he looks back on his partnership with JAY-Z. With people piling on Jigga over his NFL deal, you know that Dash had to find a mic fast.
In an interview with Adam22 of No Jumper, Dame addressed the rumor that JAY-Z snaked Jermaine Dupri to get a deal with the NFL.
Both Funkmaster Flex and Brian-Michael Cox claimed that Jay talked Dupri out of working with the NFL, then turned around and secured a partnership for himself. Dash couldn’t be less surprised.
Everyone knows Jay ain’t shit,” said Dame. “Listen, if you ask anyone in the industry, it’s common knowledge that Jay ain’t sh*t. He’s about the bag. We all know that. He’s self-preserving. Period. It’s just the people he does it to don’t have Beyoncé next to them. They don’t have that kind of a power. This dude here, everyone’s looking. It’s not even like a secret.”
Dash explained that JAY has no motivators beyond money and claimed that he regularly stiffs small fries, knowing that they don’t have a platform to push back.
“He’s about the bag. We all know that. He’s self-preserving. Period. It’s just that the people he does it to don’t have Beyoncé next to ’em,” he said. “They don’t have that kind of power, but this dude here, everyone’s looking.”
Dame’s beef with Jay goes back to the fall of Roc-A-Fella records. He claims Jay left him out in the cold and caused the label’s collapse. So, Dame taking the shot isn’t all that surprising.
