Jay-Z's former manager and business partner Dame Dash stopped by Sway In The Morning to promote his ongoing film projects and told Sway "ask me anything you're curious about." Dash gave a candid and uncensored interview, clarifying rumors, giving insight and even dropping gems.
At the 8:42 mark, Dash makes it clear about his feelings toward Empire creator Lee Daniels, claiming the director owes him $2 million dollars (Dame Dash invested &2 million dollars in 2004 box office flop The Woodsman"). According to Empire co-creator Danny Strong, Jay-Z heavily inspired actor Terrence Howard‘s character “Lucious Lyon.” (“There’s certainly some truth in that, the Jay Z story, which very much inspired certain elements of Lucious Lyon, was that story. The entire cast is African-American. We’re going to have all different types of characters and we’re just going to tell good stories. We’re not going to sit here and play defense or think that our show is a representation of black culture in its entirety”).
And also opens up about Kanye West (23:24), dropping him from his label years ago and why they should team up with his current endeavors.
What about his current relationship with Jay Z? At the 54:30 mark, he fills us in on where they stand.
Continuing to clarify the "beef" between himself and Jim Jones (32:52 mark) -- and former member/artist of Dame Dash Music Group and Roc-A-Fella Records Beanie Siegle (46:44) - he gives Sway some new insight and challenges him to get "their" side of the story.
