It appears that there may be some tension brewing between two well-known figures in the hip-hop world: Fat Joe, who hails from the Bronx and is a successful recording artist, and Damon Dash, an entrepreneur from Harlem. While both men have claimed that there is no animosity between them, a recent incident has brought their relationship into question.
During one of his Instagram Live sessions, Fat Joe made a passing reference to a line from Jay-Z's song "Lost Ones." He stated, "I heard motherf**kers sayin' they made Hov/Made Hov say, 'OK, so? Make another Hov!'" This comment was followed by Joe discussing people who are delusional and questioning their success. He then went on to say, "If you're a hustler, if you're a money getter then where's your money? If you're a genius and you're smart then where's your sh**?"
Joe clarified that this was not a direct shot at Damon Dash, as he holds no grudges against him. He simply found the line from Jay-Z's song to be one of the most iconic in hip-hop history and felt that it applied to Dash. He acknowledged Dash's intelligence and even mentioned how he had helped launch the careers of artists like Big Pun and DJ Khaled.
However, this comment seemed to have struck a nerve with Damon Dash. He responded on his YouTube channel, America Nu Network, saying, "I have no beef with you, but I have a response to what you said." He went on to explain that he didn't understand why he would need to "make another Hov," as Jay-Z was already making a lot of money from their collaborations. Dash also pointed out that Jay-Z's success did not solely come from him, as he was also receiving a large portion of the profits.
Dash then brought up his own accomplishments, mentioning that he had created a company worth $100 million, Rachel Roy. He emphasized that he doesn't just make artists, he makes companies. This was a clear dig at Fat Joe, who is currently signed to Jay-Z's management company, Roc-Nation.
It seems that this incident has caused some tension between Fat Joe and Damon Dash, despite their claims of having no issues with each other. While Fat Joe may have meant no harm with his comment, it seems to have struck a nerve with Damon Dash and highlighted some underlying tensions between the two. Perhaps they will be able to resolve their differences and move forward in a positive manner.
