Dame Dash responded to Irv Gotti’s recent claims that he had nothing to do with the success of Roc-A-Fella.
“I don’t think Jay likes Dame. Jay didn’t need nobody. [Dame] started Roc-A-Fella with Jay and Biggs [Kareem Burke], so he should get credited. [But] I’m saying the making of the records. I don’t know what you want me to say. Jay didn’t need nobody. Jay was picking the beats, Jay was rapping over the beats, Jay was making things, it was all Hov. Dame was along for the ride. It was a great ride,” Irv said on Drink Champs.
Dame recently spoke to The CEO Show and responded.
“Irv is my brother, so sometimes I worry about his mental health. What I see him doing is celebrating, taking his artists’ masters and selling them and saying, ‘Y’know, this is how I make my money,’ and that’s the furthest thing that I would ever do with any one of my artists. My thing is to keep a creative as economically empowered as possible ’cause you know what you get when you get a rich creative? You get a Kanye [West], you get a JAY-Z. So my artists generally end up being billionaires.”
