While some former business partners keep things cordial from a distance, Dame apparently had a number of thoughts he just couldn\u2019t keep to himself this week. From critiquing Jay-Z\u2019s recent performance to offering up an unexpected review of what he claims the rapper\u2019s breath smelled like back within the day, the Roc-A-Fella co-founder put Jay\u2019s name \u2014 and allegedly his mouth \u2014 back within the conversation once more, and social media is already sounding off.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center\">RELATED: Clapback Season!

Dame admitted he felt \u201c<strong>embarrassed<\/strong>\u201d for his former business partner, saying he couldn\u2019t understand why the rap mogul was still acting at this stage in his profession.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">\u201c<strong>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<\/strong>,\u201d Damon Dash said.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"text-align: center\">Dame Claims Jay-Z\u2019s Breath Needed Help<\/h3>\n<p>As if critiquing the show wasn\u2019t enough, Dash took things a step further by revisiting a private gripe he\u2019s apparently been holding onto for years. While reflecting on their history together, he randomly claimed that Jay-Z\u2019s breath \u201c<strong>at all times used to stink<\/strong>,\u201d adding that chewing cinnamon gum allegedly didn\u2019t help the situation.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cJay\u2019s breath at all times used to stink. And you understand why, because for some reason \u2014 don\u2019t you hate when n*ggas got bad breath and chew Big Red [gum.] It\u2019s just cinnamon doo-doo. No one desires to smell that,\u201d Dash revealed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@theartofdialoguetv\/video\/7646990964120177933\" data-video-id=\"7646990964120177933\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\">\n<section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@theartofdialoguetv\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@theartofdialoguetv?refer=embed\">@theartofdialoguetv<\/a> <\/p>\n<p><a title=\"damedash\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/damedash?refer=embed\">#DameDash<\/a> says <a title=\"jayz\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/jayz?refer=embed\">#JayZ<\/a> breath used to at all times stink as he addresses <a title=\"jayz\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/jayz?refer=embed\">#JayZ<\/a> for dissing him during his Roots Picnic freestyle.

But Dash didn\u2019t stop there, also poking fun at Jay\u2019s now-signature afro and claiming the hairstyle was so distracting he could barely concentrate on the performance itself.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, fans quickly identified the irony of the comments, especially given Dash\u2019s own well-documented financial struggles.
