Something happened with Dame and Jay, that has never been told. I truly believe that. There's been two times Bleek let shyt slip. One interview he said Dame said something to him that made him angry. Not no normal shyt, but above and beyond. He spoke to Jay about it and Jay says "Don't stress it. Soon, you'll never have to speak to that guy again" That's when Bleek said he first knew Roc was coming to an end. In another interview, Bleek actually says he tried to warn Dame the split was coming. Throw in that you planning that marketing meeting behind his back. Kevin Lyles clearly knew some shyt was going on and Dame was being cut out.
I say all that to say, you don't do that to someone and just call it business. That's your man, you built an empire with. You may not like his style, you may not even want to work with him ever again. Sometimes business and friends don't mix. Hell, you might not even want to be friends anymore. But after all that time, you'd think you wouldn't have to put plans and schemes in place, to hide the fact, that you didn't want to be involved anymore. It seems long before Dame knew, a lot of other people knew.
There's something behind that, that isn't just, oh he was yelling on dudes and looked bad for business. Jay could have done all the same things, without going behind his back. After that though, Dame is all at fault. Up to about 2 damn weeks ago, he's still shytting on Jay's name and dropping info and basically calling him out. I've seen Beans around Jay since their beef. Damn Biggs went with Dame, started a label, was dissed by Jay on dig a hole, and still cheesing at the Brunch, involved in several deals with Hov. I'm sure Hov is a forgiving guy. Wayne dissed his wife and he paying his taxes. This ain't a Jay-Z hate thread
I'm just saying, something went on there that really made him hate that guy. That ain't just business
