Dame Dash isn’t one to back down, especially when it comes to disputes. Recently, he fired back at N.O.R.E. after accusations that Dash never paid him for movie roles. Dash finds himself once again defending his reputation amid this public spat.
The quarrel between Dame Dash and N.O.R.E. reignited when Dash recalled being pressured by N.O.R.E. to drink a certain vodka during his 2020 appearance on the ‘Drink Champs.’ The incident left Dash suspecting foul play with the drink, leading to simmering tensions.
N.O.R.E. responded to Dash’s claims, aiming to clarify his side on his podcast. He expressed disdain for what he perceived as ‘fake shots’ from Dash and insisted he wasn’t paid for movie roles or soundtracks he contributed to. For N.O.R.E., the lack of compensation was a point of principle.
During a live Q&A, Dash addressed N.O.R.E.’s grievances, sarcastically downplaying N.O.R.E.’s cameo in the film ‘Paid in Full.’ Dash dismissed the significance of the claim, arguing friends don’t charge for appearances in videos. This comment underscored Dash’s perspective on unpaid collaboration.
Further, Dash highlighted how he aided N.O.R.E. with previous label issues at Def Jam, ensuring he got the proper marketing budget. He intervened without asking for anything in return, reflecting his stance of support over financial transactions.
Dash continued with an intriguing claim about JAY-Z, suggesting that his own decision to involve N.O.R.E. in projects was partly because JAY-Z didn’t approve of signing him. Dash portrayed his actions as an attempt to include N.O.R.E. in the Roc-A-Fella fold, despite disagreements.
The ongoing public exchange between Dash and N.O.R.E. adds a layer of drama to their relationship, as Dash reminded audiences of his past efforts to help N.O.R.E. without seeking monetary gain. This history between the two adds complexity to their current argument.
This clash between Dame Dash and N.O.R.E. underscores the rocky nature of relationships in the entertainment industry, where past collaborations can sometimes turn into public disputes. Whether these tensions will subside remains to be seen, but both parties continue to voice their sides fervently.
