DAME DASH REVISITS JAY-Z BREAKUP, SAYS HE WAS ‘BETRAYED’ FOR MONEY

Dame Dash has opened up about his relationship with JAY-Z and how their falling out amid the Roc-A-Fella Records split led to an empire’s demise.

Sitting down with The Art of Dialogue, Dame discussed feeling betrayed for money by JAY-Z, but still referred to him as his friend these days.

“Yeah, all that, but we were friends,” he explained. “Like, how would you feel if your brother just betrayed you for money? Would it hurt?”

The 51-year-old executive believed there were higher powers in play that pushed for the Jay-Dame split to make them weaker while the dynasty was shaking up the Hip Hop industry in the early 2000s.

“That’s the algorithm. It wasn’t surprising ’cause that’s what always happens,” he continued. “We were breaking the algorithm, we were doing it a different way and sticking together, but that’s what always happens. They make one sell out the other, their friend, divide and conquer, that’s a normal story.”
