Steve Stoute’s recent appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay expectedly arrived with plenty of shocking revelations. For one, the music exec tore into fellow industry mainstay Dame Dash, claiming that his separation from Jay-Z was the simple result of his huge “ego.” He went on to detail yet another high-profile falling out between 50 Cent and Ja Rule, revealing that he doesn’t believe they’ll ever be back on good terms.

They touched him up,” he continued. “They’re never gonna be cool, and now, I’m happy that it’s all kind of over with… What I don’t like at this point as older statesmen is…it makes the artform look bad.”
