Dame Dash Breaks Silence On Jay-Z Sexual Assault Allegations

by

Dame Dash and Jay-Z built Roc-A-Fella Records together. They were responsible for some of the most indelible hip hop moments and music of the late 90s and early 2000s. The two men have had their issues in recent years, but their legacy has always been fairly spotless. At least, it had been. Jay-Z has been hit with a lawsuit alleging he sexually assaulted a teenager in 2000. The rapper has denied the allegations, but the debate rages on as to whether the Roc icon could have done such a thing. It’s a question that hit Dame Dash particularly hard.

Dash discussed the matter on Nu Network. The Roc mogul admitted he was surprised by the lengthy statement Jay-Z issued in response to the allegations. “I been to court with homebody,” Dash noted. “And he doesn’t say anything. He never responds.” Dame Dash went on to posit that the allegations must “bother” Hov more than he’s letting on. Dash assured viewers that he has nothing to do with the situation, and is therefore trying to look at it from an objective point of view.

Jay-Z’s Public Response Shocked Dame Dash

There was a bit of self-reflection on Dame Dash’s part in the middle of the interview. He got out in front of the commenters who were going to criticize him for relying on Jay’s name to drive views. The former Roc-A-Fella boss has been accused of using Hov’s clout before, and he probably will be again. He knows this, but he countered in this particular instance. He felt he had a right to discuss Jay-Z given the rapper has been on the minds of people throughout the world this past two weeks.

Dame Dash made sure not to come down one way or the other on whether he believes Jay-Z is guilty. What he did say, though, is that he dislikes the way fans and outlets have turned on Hov so quickly. “I’m seeing Forbes flip,” he asserted. “People can love you one day, but they love to really hate you so much more.” Dash admitted that he thought Jay-Z had a reached a point of being “untouchable” and unable to do any wrong in the public’s eyes.

Dame Dash Elaborates On Drake’s Alleged Roc-A-Fella Bid

by

Dame Dash is once again claiming that Drake offered him $6 million for his Roc-A-Fella shares but “disappeared” at the last second. Speaking about the sale with Cam Capone News for an interview published on Thursday, Dame brought up how people backed out of their initial bids and chalked it up to “monkey business.”

“Yeah, he [Drake] DM’d me,” Dame confirmed once again. “Then he just went missing. I don’t know what the purpose of that was. I’m curious myself. A lot of people reach out and then they disappear and I just always think there was some monkey business happening behind the scenes. But again, I don’t feel like dealing with all of that. It’s too weird for me.”

It’s far from the first time Dame has mentioned Drake putting in an offer for his stake in Roc-A-Fella. Speaking about the sale on his America Nu Network YouTube page, last month, Dame said: “People did not show up. Drake did put a bid in for $6 million but then he disappeared. It’s in my DM… I don’t know what happened. But other than that, no serious people. No one wanted that sh—t. Period.”

Dame Dash Discusses The Sale Of “Reasonable Doubt”

The state of New York ended up taking Dame’s shares in Roc-A-Fella for $1 million in an effort to recoup $8 million in back taxes that the music industry mogul owes. During the latest interview, Dame said he was at least happy that the money would help to cover his child support and thus help his children. “I looked at it like at least I could get some money out of it,” he said. “At least my kids will get some money out of it.” Check out Dame Dash’s latest comments on the sale of Reasonable Doubt below.

Drake Allegedly Offered Dame Dash $6 Million For His Roc-A-Fella Share But Backed Out

by

Dame Dash claims that Drake offered him $6 million to take ownership of his stake in Roc-A-Fella Records, which includes rights to JAY-Z’s iconic album, Reasonable Doubt. Despite the alleged offer, Dame says Drake eventually backed out on the deal, which he describes as revealing of JAY-Z’s true legacy. “I thought that more people would be interested in buying it because of the art value of it. And that’s the only thing I was selling,” Dame said on America Nu Network. “Because of how everyone portrays that they love this dude, if they really loved him like that, I thought some collector like the Wu-Tang thing. Wu-Tang is loved. People really value them a certain way… There was no love.”

“Drake put in a bid for $6 million, but then he disappeared,” he went on to reveal. “I don’t know what happened.” As Dame’s claim circulated on social media, fans shared their own explanations as to why the shares didn’t go for more. “Or maybe he told everybody back off so it could be sold for cheap so you would still be scrambling to pay off the immense debt you’re still in. Just a thought,” one user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote. Another added: “Nobody dropping 10m and only have the rights for 7 years.. album is trash anyways.”

It’s not the first time Dame Dash has mentioned Drake having an interest in his shares of Roc-A-Fella. Back in September, he referenced the offer while discussing the Toronto rapper’s feud with Kendrick Lamar on America Nu Network. “Drake hollered at me through a DM and made and offer. I’m not quite sure what happened. But I thought that he had got with Jay on something, but I don’t know,” he said at the time.

Damon Dash is giving details on the auction of his stake in Roc-A-Fella Records. No one showed up for the auction, and the state of New York ended up making the bid for $1,000,000. But there was a potential buyer: Drake.

Drake has been buying up hip-hop history for a while and has focused on the third of the Roc. Dash stated that at one point, Drake bid for $6 million. “Drake put in a bid for $6 million, but then he disappeared.”

Dame Dash Calls Kanye West His “Brother” Amidst Ye’s Assault Lawsuit

by

Dame Dash may not be on the best of terms with JAY-Z, but he remains supportive of Kanye West. The Roc-A-Fella co-founder had a front row seat to West’s early years, and got a chance to see him become one of the greatest hip hop artists of all time. Granted, the West story has become exponentially messier since his days on Roc-A-Fella. The rapper has become one of the most polarizing celebrities in the world, and is currently facing a lawsuit from former assistant Lauren Pisciotta.

Dame Dash weighed in on the lawsuit during a recent appearance on American Nu Network. He noted that West is his brother, and always will be. Dash also noted that he’d been accused of the same thing West is currently being accused of. “No matter what, Kanye is my brother,” the mogul asserted. “So I’m going to always hope that what’s said is not true. As a person that’s been accused of sexual assault and went through a whole trial and got the press of the accusation… you know, I would have questions.” The Roc-A-Fella co-founder hopes that West is innocent.

Dame Dash Hopes The Ye Allegations Are Untrue

He also noted that several lawsuits have been leveled at celebrities, but many fail to stick. “Every day, there’s gonna be lawsuits,” Dame Dash opined. “And you’re gonna have to filter through the bullsh*t ones and you’re gonna have to see the ones that will really stand up in court.” The Roc-A-Fella co-founded did state, however, that he will swear by what the court of law decrees. If Lauren Pisciotta’s claims prove to be true, then Dame Dash claims he will change his tune. “If it is true, then, you know, I feel bad that the girl had to go through that,” he explained.

Pisciotta’s claims date back to 2021-22. The former assistant alleges that Kanye West West sent her explicit texts and pornographic photos on a consistent basis. Pisciotta also alleges that the rapper laced her drink and sexually assaulted during a studio session with Diddy. She claims to have woken up without any recollection of what happened, but that West claimed they “did kind of hook up a little.” Reps for the rapper claim he plans to file a countersuit against Pisciotta.

[WATCH] Dame Dash Suggests That Diddy Spiked Ciroc Bottles Sold To The Public

by

Former Roc-A-Fella Records CEO Dame Dash made a really brash claim regarding the legal troubles of Diddy, suggesting that the music mogul spiked wholesale quantities of his Ciroc Vodka. Dash even goes as far as to say that male Hip Hop artists may have unwillingly turned “gay” after unknowingly consuming the spiked liquor.

In an interview on his America Nu Network, Dash said, “What’s crazy to me is if his hustle is putting stuff in people’s drinks, he made a liquor. I mean, that’s the illest shit in the world that everyone was partying and you don’t know what was in that drink.” Trying to bring his claims to context, Dash asked, “If he was — pause — undercover gay, ’cause I didn’t know it, and obviously if he was knocking men out and they were waking up violated, he’s making somebody gay that doesn’t wanna be gay. So I’m like, ‘What was in them drinks?’

Dash also suggests that during this time period of Ciroc’s apex of popularity, Hip Hop’s male figures became feminine. “And then I’m starting to think, ‘Damn, when did Hip Hop start to lose its masculinity?’ No disrespect to nobody, but tough n-ggas started wearing dresses and pocketbooks. I’m just thinking it through — maybe that could be the reason why Hip Hop took a turn for the feminine.” Adding a little humor to his serious allegation, Dash asked, “If homie was really putting shit in people’s drinks and he’s making the liquor… I’m not even saying it to be funny, but they saying he was putting shit in muthafuckas’ baby oil so how could you trust that person to serve you drinks at such a big scale?”

Dame Dash Questions Whether Diddy Sold Spiked Ciroc Bottles To Fans

by

Dame Dash and Diddy were moguls during the same time period. They were two of the faces of New York during the late 90s and early 2000s. Dash has had his legal troubles over the years, but nothing can compare to what Diddy is currently going through. The Bad Boy founder is currently behind bars. He’s been accused of horrifying crimes by multiple parties, and is awaiting trial on federal charges. One of the allegations leveled at Diddy is that he spiked the drinks of the attendees at his so-called “freak off” parties. This allegation has led Dame Dash to question one of the mogul’s side hustles.

Ciroc was launched in 2003, and entered into a partnership with Diddy in 2007. The mogul became the face of the alcohol brand for years. This association has led Dame Dash to question whether dangerous things were being put in the bottles that were being sold to fans. “What’s crazy to me,” Dame Dash told America Nu Network. “Is, if his hustle is putting stuff in people’s drink. He made a liquor. Everybody was partying, and you don’t know what was in that drink.” The Roc-A-Fella founder clarified that he doesn’t have proof to support this claim, and is simply making a correlation that he finds to be concerning.

Dame Dash Claims That He Avoided Drinking Ciroc

“They saying homie was putting sh*t in motherf*cker’s baby oil,” Dame Dash added. “How could you trust that person to serve you drinks at such a big scale?” The mogul also recounted an incident from years ago in which he alleges that N.O.R.E. tried to get him to take a shot of Ciroc. Dash brought his own personal drink with him, which is something he’s done for years. “Now y’all can understand,” he noted. “Why I always wanted to make my own. I was taking shots of my own.” He then alleged that N.O.R.E. got extremely drunk from drinking Diddy’s brand.

Dame Dash is obviously best known for his affiliation with JAY-Z. He talked about JAY during the America Nu Network interview. He did not accuse the rapper of being affiliated with Diddy, but he did voice some concerns about what he may know. Especially given how close Dash and JAY have been over the years. “JAY’s supposed to be my son’s godfather,” Dame Dash asserted. “There are some levels that I know are dark, but again, I’m just hoping that it’s not that dark.”

Dame Dash Addresses Viral Picture Of Him & Aaliyah At A Diddy Party

by

Dame Dash has addressed a photo of himself and Aaliyah attending Diddy’s Fourth of July Party back in 2000, as the image has been resurfacing on social media. He downplayed anything inappropriate happening while streaming live on Instagram, over the weekend.

“Nah, I didn’t go to those parties, I’m sorry,” Dash explained. “I went to one in the Hamptons about twenty years ago with Aaliyah. But that’s about it.” From there, he explained that the two only hung out at the party and nothing inappropriate happened. “But I know that they’re gonna play games with those pictures — it’s all good. I don’t really care,” he added.

It’s not the first time Dame has spoken out about Diddy and the allegations he’s been facing. After CNN published footage from 2016 of the Bad Boy mogul hitting his girlfriend, Cassie, at a hotel earlier this year, he condemned the act on social media. “I know Puff, so it was very disappointing to see that from someone that, again, I considered my peer. Someone that you know, because we’re the brotherhood of hip hop, showed a certain degree of respect. But you know, you can’t unsee that, and it’s really a shame,” he wrote at the time.

Dame Dash Speaks Out On The Viral Photo

Authorities arrested Diddy for allegations of sex trafficking, last week. He pleaded not guilty to the charges on Tuesday and has denied all of the accusations he’s faced. Check out Dame’s latest comments on Diddy and the picture of Aaliyah below. Be on the lookout for further updates on Dame Dash on HotNewHipHop.

They wrote: “Dame Dash has type one diabetes. It’s significant to note that when sugar is floating through the blood it destroys everything that it touches for long periods of time.

After you get a watch, a chain, you look out for the homies and you do this, that and the third… it’s nothing.’ And I was like, ‘N***a, I’m from 134th Street. A million dollars is a lot of money.’ I’m thinking I hit the lotto! How you gonna say it’s no money? I just never forgot that because of how it felt.”

Can Dame Dash Actually Sell His Share Of Jay-Z’s ‘Reasonable Doubt?’

by

For years, Dame Dash has led both a public and legal battle with his former business partner Jay-Z. Recently, Dame claimed to have made headway in offloading a piece of hip-hop history.

According to Dame Dash, his plan to sell his share of Jay-Z’s highly acclaimed debut album, Reasonable Doubt. During a recent appearance on America Nu Network (viewable here), Dame even claimed that Drake expressed interest in purchasing his stake. However, there appears to be some confusion over who actually owns the shares. Continue below for more information.

Can Dame Dash Actually Sell His Share Of Jay-Z’s ‘Reasonable Doubt?’

Based on an investigative piece conducted by Rolling Stone‘s Andre Gee (viewable here), Dame Dash doesn’t appear to be the rightful owner of the stake. Technically speaking, Dame Dash can not sell his stakes. According to the outlet, in order to “satisfy an $823K judgment” in his Josh Webber and Muddy Waters Films lawsuit, Dame was ordered to turn over his shares of Roc-A-Fella Inc (which own stake in Jay-Z’s album) over to the US Marshals.

Now, Christopher Brown, the attorney of Webber seemingly controls the stakes as in an effort to recoup the judgment on behalf of his client. So, it appears that the reports of an auction supposedly held on August 29 might have been true. But, Dame Dash having a deciding factor is allegedly a fallacy.
