Get married brehs

speculation is that was ultimately part of his demise.

Violator was Lighty's baby. It must be tough starting a company, watching it become huge in the art form that you love so much and then watch that fall apart along with your lifestyle and your relationship. If anything I'm surprised Dame Dash hasn't offed himself yet. At least Lighty was still involved with his company in some capacity. Dame Dash lost it all and on top of that is watching someone else run off with his dream. That man's been castrated of his ego.

But you said it right, I'm also shocked that Dame hasn't offed himself too, but he didn't. So it appears that Dame was able to handle the "they gonna laugh at me" fear. If early reports are correct, it seems Chris was not, which is selfish as hell
