Title: Dame Dash Offers Roc-A-Fella Shares to Kendrick Lamar, Sparks Speculation
Amid swirling rumors surrounding Dame Dash’s potential sale of his Roc-A-Fella Records shares, the co-founder has made a public declaration regarding his intentions, targeting none other than Kendrick Lamar as a potential buyer.
Taking to his Instagram feed on Thursday, June 6, Dame Dash extended a direct invitation to Kendrick Lamar, stating, “@kendricklamar my 3rd is for sale if you want to buy it. Any serious offers [arrow emoji] DM.” This offer was accompanied by a screenshot of a decade-old tweet from K. Dot, where the acclaimed rapper expressed his preference for JAY-Z’s “Reasonable Doubt” over Nas’ “Illmatic.”
The history of Roc-A-Fella Records has been marked by both success and turmoil, with Jay, Dame, and Kareem “Biggs” Burke experiencing a well-documented fallout. Despite this, the trio remained connected on paper until recent legal developments. In February 2024, Roc-A-Fella Inc. was mandated to fulfill an $823K judgment, leading to a court ruling that required the delivery of Dame Dash’s shares to the US Marshals.
Dame Dash’s financial challenges have been widely reported since his separation from his former business partners. From legal disputes over child support payments to public declarations of financial strain, Dash’s post-Roc-A-Fella journey has been tumultuous.
Notably, Dame Dash’s commentary on his relationship with Jay-Z has garnered attention, particularly his claims regarding the song “Big Pimpin’,” where he asserts that Jay-Z was emulating his own persona. This ongoing narrative adds layers of intrigue to Dash’s latest proposition to Kendrick Lamar.
As speculation mounts regarding the future of Roc-A-Fella Records and Dame Dash’s role within it, the music industry watches with anticipation for further developments.
