3 Jun
Summary
- Dash called Jay-Z's performance 'terrible' and embarrassing.
- Jay-Z dissed Dash during a recent Philadelphia performance.
- Dash expressed embarrassment over Jay-Z's continued rapping at 56.
Dame Dash has fired back at his former Roc-A-Fella Records partner, Jay-Z, following a recent performance. At the Roots Picnic in Philadelphia, Jay-Z delivered a rare solo set that included jabs at Dash and others. Dash, in a new interview, described Jay-Z's rap as 'terrible' and questioned his continued relevance at 56 years old.
Dash expressed that he felt embarrassed for Jay-Z, suggesting it must be difficult to perform at his age after Jay-Z's long-stated intentions to retire. The former business partners, who co-founded Roc-A-Fella Records and Rocawear, had a falling out over 20 years ago. Dash also made critical remarks about Jay-Z's appearance during the performance.
Their professional relationship officially ended in 2004 when Def Jam Recordings acquired Roc-A-Fella. Since then, Dash has been vocal in his criticism of Jay-Z, even as Dash has faced his own financial and legal challenges.
