Former Roc-A-Fella co-owner, Damon Dash has hit out at former associate, Jay-Z, saying he doubts if the rapper was ever a true friend of his.
The two started out as friends and business associates, creating the once fledgling Roc-A-Fella label. They were last seen together at a birthday party for a mutual friend back in 2013, several years after their 2005 split.
In a recent interview with Wiretapped‘s Sharon Carpenter, Dash who once declined answering any Jay-Z related questions, went on to question the legendary rapper’s commitment to their friendship.
“Roc-A-Fella was always available for me,” Damon Dash said. “But Jay made a point that I shouldn’t have it. And I was thinking at the time, it must have been because he wanted it. But it couldn’t have been cause there’s no Roc-A-Fella no more. So, what was the purpose of it? So, I never really understood if Jay was ever really my friend. Like why he would do that to his man, pause. And he said it was business, but I didn’t see the business in it. Cause there’s no business in Roc-A-Fella anymore…I really thought we was friends. But I guess I got gaffled“
During the interview, Dash also detailed the level of relationship he maintains with one-time Roc-A-Fella prodigy,Kanye West, saying they’re on good terms and are looking to collaborate on a movie together.
“We’re gonna do a horror flick,” he said. “He doesn’t like to do this announcing and all this stuff. But when he’s inspired, he can work with me anytime and in any way he wants as it relates to the movies. Fashion is a 24/7 thing. And he’s all in it. So, I feel like he’s more focused on that right now. And I’m more focused on what I’m doing. So, we’ll meet and have a common ground at some point. And we’ll come back and do something together”
