In a recent turn of events, Dame Dash, the co-founder of Rockefeller Records,has come forward with startling allegations against Jay-Z and industry mogul Leor Cohen,claiming they engaged in unethical practices, allegedly sacrificing black artists to achieve success in the cutthroat music industry.
Dame Dash’s long-standing feud with Jay-Z has been no secret, but his latest revelations shine a light on the dark underbelly of the music business. Dash accuses Jay-Z of aligning himself with individuals like Leor Cohen, whom he labels as “culture vultures” profiting from black culture while simultaneously destroying black artists.
The history between Jay-Z, Dame Dash, and Leor Cohen traces back to the launch of Rockefeller Records in 1994. Tensions escalated around 2002, leading to rumors about the closure of Rockefeller. In 2004, Jay-Z accepted the position of president at Def Jam Records, succeeding Leor Cohen. This move heightened the strain between Jay-Z and Dash, as it put all Rockefeller tracks under Jay’s control and allegedly pushed out Dash and Kareem “Biggs” Burke.
Dame Dash’s criticism extends beyond business conflicts. He highlights moral concerns, citing Jay-Z’s refusal to sever ties with R. Kelly, who allegedly assaulted Dash’s ex-girlfriend Aaliyah when she was a minor. Dash claims this incident marked a moral divide between him and Jay-Z, emphasizing their differing values.
DMX, known for his outspoken stance against industry manipulation, accused Jay-Z of playing into the hands of industry power players like Leor Cohen. DMX’s refusal to conform to industry norms allegedly led to his blackballing.
Leor Cohen’s controversial comments on the opioid crisis and his nonchalant attitude towards signing artists promoting drug culture have also come under scrutiny. Dash criticizes Cohen for profiting off black artists while seemingly disregarding their well-being.
In response to these allegations, Leor Cohen denies knowledge of Dame Dash and dismisses claims of being a culture vulture. However, the online community has rallied behind Dash, questioning Jay-Z’s association with Cohen and the industry’s exploitation of black artists.
As the feud unfolds, the music industry faces increased scrutiny over its treatment of artists, raising questions about the moral and ethical responsibilities of industry leaders. The allegations against Jay-Z and Leor Cohen underscore the challenges faced by black artists and the need for transparency and accountability in the entertainment business.
