Fans question Dame Dash’s obsession with Jay-Z after Dash claimed the rapper pretended to be him in the song “Big Pimpin'”

Dame Dash has mentioned her former artist and business partner Jay-Z twice in recent months.

Recently, the former CEO of Roc-a-Fella Records dropped a bombshell on the masses, claiming that the lyrical content of the 2000 song “Big Pimpin'” was about his lifestyle, not Jay-Z’s.

Dash initially addressed this claim during an interview on the site Hoffa’s mathematics “My Expert Opinion” podcast where he shouts out Future for referencing him in “Fried (She’s a Vibe)”.

“The future spoke of my past in the present. … He said, “Big pimp” like Dame Dash. I didn’t record this album. Just know that it was about me.

Dash doubled down on his stance on a recent May 27 episode of the “Moguls in the Making” podcast with Omari Heflin and Terone Johnson.

He reiterated that “Big Pimpin’,” the fifth and final single from the Jay Timbaland-produced “Vol. 3…Life and Times of S. Carter” was actually about his own life experiences, not Jay-Z’s.

On the podcast, the hosts ask if the entire song was actually about him. Tipsy but still cool in Harlem, Dash casually replied, “Everything Jay said, he pretended to be me.”

Podcast host Heflin asked specifically if Jay was telling Dame’s story, to which Dame replied, “Duh.” Co-host Johnson began laughing when he admitted that “Reasonable Doubt” was playing in the background.

Harlem’s music director continued, “Who’s the CEO? Who is the “Great Pimpin”? Who does all this stuff? That’s me.” Dame then mentioned that the music video “was a million-dollar music video, but it surely was mostly about me being drunk. I’m going to be the ‘Big Pimpin’, I used to be the ‘Big Pimpin’.”

“Big Pimpin” is a song that Jay-Z rarely mentions due to its lack of “deep lyrics.” He raps about drinking, partying and fucking women, with none emotional attachment. The song highlights the “pimp lifestyle” of managing multiple women and eliminating those that “make a fuss.”

“Give your heart to a girl? There’s a reason it never happened,” Jay-Z says. “I’ll all the time mock a Heart as cold as a killer.”

The music video, shot in Trinidad during Carnival, features Jay-Z and Texas rapper Bun B, who appears in the song, on a yacht with women’s bellies. They may also be seen in a truck handing out money to the crowd. Another featured artist, the late Pimp C, allegedly refused to travel far, so the final scenes of the music video were filmed in Miami Beach, Florida.

Dash claimed that Roc-a-Fella was “in financial trouble at the time.” Therefore, if the music video had not worked out, the 52-year-old would have “started rapping” himself.

Mr. DuskoPoppington’s supporters shouldn’t be shocked by his latest remarks. He also previously stated that Jay-Z is just not an authentic artist like someone like Kanye, but he does it for the money.

Shadow Room sent fragment of the interview, which was joined by many followers.

Several people admitted that Dash may not be as crazy as some people think, writing, “But the lady had the worst Aaliyah in the game at the time, as did Jay, so there might be some truth to it,” and nudging, “And the student became the teacher… HOV multi-billionaire.”

Some just collectively sighed virtually at what they thought was a rap delusion.

“Imagine being almost 60 years old and saying things like that, and the person you’re trying to get attention from never pays attention to you,” one person wrote. Dash is definitely 53 years old.

Another comment read: “Jay Z lives in his head for free.”

“He’s acting like a scorned ex who just can’t let go,” someone joked, while one other added: “That’s what it looks like once you talk to yourself. Hov has not mentioned his name since 2003.

“I’m the coolest nigga that ever got here out of Harlem. Anyone who doesn’t claim to be from Harlem,” was one other joke.

However, Jay-Z has since revealed his name. In 2021, when he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, he said: “Salute to the Dame. I do know we disagree, but I won’t ever be able to erase your achievements. I appreciate you and thanks for this.

He added: “We created something that will probably never be repeated.”

Dash and Jay-Z began working together in the Nineteen Nineties as co-managers of the group Original Flava. Later, in 1996, he founded Roc-a-Fella Records with Kareem “Biggs” Burke. After splitting in 2004, Jay and Dame’s argued over the direction and way forward for the label, causing Jay to split and change into president of Def Jam.

Dame remained with the label and accused the “Run This Town” rapper of trying to buy him out for $1.5 million.

Jay and Dame’s relationship was severed many years ago due to label ownership. Later in 2021, Jay sued his former business partner for trying to sell the copyright to his 1996 debut album of the same name as an NFT (non-fungible token) without his consent.

In addition to Biggs, former friends and founders of Roc-a-Fella, each of them owns 1/3 of the album, written and recorded by Jay-Z. The case was settled in 2022, with Dame banned from proceeding with the alleged NFT sales and Roc found to be the owner of “reasonable doubt.”

Dash was recently forced to sell his shares by a judge in order to replace him failure to pay a conviction against Josh Weber, the film producer who fired him as director of “Dear Frank.”

The music executive refused, regardless that one other judge ordered him to pay Weber $823,000.

That same yr, Dash revealed on Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay” that, despite being mentioned in Jay-Z’s acceptance speech, the two were in the middle of two bitter lawsuits over ownership of assets related to the label they founded together.

In a separate interview later that yr, he said he felt “betrayed” by Jay-Z, maintaining that the snub was out of “some clever shit” despite having had such an impact on his success.

This is not the first time Dash has claimed to have influenced not only Jay-Z’s musical persona, but additionally his profession and business acumen. He recalls the times when he was already managing a billionaire and after they were partners.

“I bought Jay-Z on every label” – Dash he reminded on the “On Gaud” podcast with Ray Daniels. “Kevin Liles, everyone. Each and each one in every of them said no. And he becomes one in every of the best living rappers. These are the same individuals who said he was too old, rapped too fast, and dressed trivially.”

He said: “I actually have learned not to listen to anyone. If I had listened to them, there would have been no Jay-Z. He wasn’t going to do that. Jay-Z would not be rapping if it wasn’t for me 100,000 percent. He would not do what I did to make sure that he was heard. He was in a rush.

According to Dash in a 2023 interview, the “4:44” artist never wanted to “release a record himself” or “create a record label.”

“He knew how to rap, but he didn’t know anything about business. I taught him business,” Dash boasted. “How to release an album yourself. How to use your fame and put it on the product yourself.”

Jay-Z himself has since somewhat distanced himself from “Big Pimpin'”, claiming that the song lacks the depth found in his other songs.

“Some texts become really profound when you see them in writing,” said w interview in The Wall Street Journal in 2010, where he talked about the difference between freestyling on a booth and reading what he says on paper.

“Not ‘The Great Pimpin’. This is an exception. It was like, “I can’t believe I said that.” And he kept saying it. What animal would say such things? This is really hard to read.”

Despite boasting that Jay-Z imitated his own life to make the song appeal to the hustlers and massive players who admired and aspired to the gluttonous and chauvinistic lifestyle depicted in the music video, Dash has previously expressed regret, particularly for his behavior in the music video .

In a 2017 TMZ video, Dash admitted that he felt “embarrassed” by the lack of respect for girls at the time – noting that he “got some positive reaction” at the time.

“I have a look at things like ‘Big Pimpin’ and I’m ashamed of it. “I would never want my daughter to have to go through this, and if I ever saw my son Boogie do this, we would be in serious trouble,” he said. he said.

He added that what modified for him was becoming a father to young black women, saying it was then that he realized he should never do anything he would not want done to them.
