Damon Dash has reignited his longstanding grievances against JAY-Z, calling out the Hip-Hop mogul for what he claims has been a years-long pattern of interference in his business moves.
Speaking during an interview on The Art of Dialogue, Dash didn’t hold back in describing what he perceives as calculated efforts by his former Roc-A-Fella Records partner to derail his financial success.
Dash cited specific incidents, including a 2005 business deal tied to Rocawear, the fashion label he co-founded with JAY-Z. According to Dash, a $400 million agreement with Tommy Hilfiger fell apart after JAY-Z publicly promoted his S. Carter brand and distanced himself from Rocawear. While JAY-Z later sold Rocawear to Iconix Brand Group in 2007 for $204 million—the brand was generating over $700 million in annual retail sales at the time—Dash had already walked away with $22.5 million after selling his stake back to his business partners in 2005.
Damon Dash also pushed back against the perception that he volunteers commentary about JAY-Z, blaming media narratives for placing him in discussions about their fractured relationship.
