Roommates, with regards to Dame Dash and Jay-Z, it seems there’s at all times a brand new chapter of their never-ending saga. While some former business partners keep things cordial from a distance, Dame apparently had a number of thoughts he just couldn’t keep to himself this week. From critiquing Jay-Z’s recent performance to offering up an unexpected review of what he claims the rapper’s breath smelled like back within the day, the Roc-A-Fella co-founder put Jay’s name — and allegedly his mouth — back within the conversation once more, and social media is already sounding off.

Dame Explains Why Jay-Z Had Him Embarrassed
During a recent conversation with The Art of Dialogue, Damon Dash shared his response to Jay-Z’s rare solo performance on the Roots Picnic in Philadelphia—and let’s just say he wasn’t handing out compliments. Dame admitted he felt “embarrassed” for his former business partner, saying he couldn’t understand why the rap mogul was still acting at this stage in his profession.
“It should be embarrassing for him to now need to be on that stage, not the identical version of himself, and still need to work at that age because he has to,” Damon Dash said.
Dame Claims Jay-Z’s Breath Needed Help
As if critiquing the show wasn’t enough, Dash took things a step further by revisiting a private gripe he’s apparently been holding onto for years. While reflecting on their history together, he randomly claimed that Jay-Z’s breath “at all times used to stink,” adding that chewing cinnamon gum allegedly didn’t help the situation.
“Jay’s breath at all times used to stink. And you understand why, because for some reason — don’t you hate when n*ggas got bad breath and chew Big Red [gum.] It’s just cinnamon doo-doo. No one desires to smell that,” Dash revealed.

Did Jay-Z Address Damon Dash Onstage At Roots Picnic?
Despite the barrage of jokes and criticism, Dash went on to suggest that fans now not wish to see this version of Jay-Z and even jokingly launched his own “Make Jay Great Again” campaign, urging the Brooklyn icon to ditch the natural hair, get a Caesar cut, throw on a Yankees cap, and return to the image Dame believes fans remember most. But Dash didn’t stop there, also poking fun at Jay’s now-signature afro and claiming the hairstyle was so distracting he could barely concentrate on the performance itself.
Meanwhile, fans quickly identified the irony of the comments, especially given Dash’s own well-documented financial struggles. To make matters even messier, some listeners imagine Jay-Z can have subtly addressed Dame during his Roots Picnic set when he rapped a couple of “Chatty Patty” who was “down on his luck again” — a line many interpreted as a direct shot at his former Roc-A-Fella partner.
