Former Roc-A-Fella Records co-owner Damon "Dame" Dash's wrath against the music biz is not stopping at Steve Stoute and has now extended to former Def Jam executive Joie Manda. #DameDisses
Dame unleashed a lengthy tirade against Manda onto his Instagram page this week.
“This clown right here is joi manda… I’m not even going to give him the respect of calling him any type of ceo… Hes is like the culture vultures Dimwitted assistant that does what he’s told… I’m putting him on blast because I’ve personally witness him start war between two creatives from the same culture so he could benifit… Which is what they always do… Divide and conquer… You would think when 2 young guys have a problem with each other the older guy would sit them in a room and squash it… These guys promote it and make money of the winner…” (Dame Dash’s Instagram)
He also accused Joie of using feuds and altercations to fuel his own pockets.
“They could care less if somebody dies or get hurt.. As long as they make money off it….he’s also the guy that started the divide and conquer beef between me and currency…. The funny thing is he can’t get a dollar from his own people so he tries helps exploit ours… He’s a nobody… Never let him front on you and I’m gonna keep calling him and his whole crew out… You know who you are and your up next #dontgetscared… I’m playing them all out publicly because I’m sick of them bullying people from my culture and there soft as hell… Pause..and they cheat… We not fighting each other anymore… We getting at the cowards that make money of our struggle every day… Have some respect for the culture that is paying all your bills” (Dame Dash’s Instagram)
Recently, Dash publicly went after Steve Stoute over attacking their culture.
“You know how many black people I tried to put together for movies and it always be that one group that always, you know, or because of Steve Stoute or somebody that’s a culture-robber or doesn’t care about his culture, would break that up. Even other black people break up other black people trying to stick together because it’ll kill that little check because they got to connect with people. Steve Stoute. That’s what he always does so he can bring us to get robbed. A guy like Steve Stoute would always take the people that are protecting the creative and eliminate them, so he could rob the creative. Just so he could get his money.” (Hip Hop Motivation)
Last year, Manda parted ways with Def Jam after a short run there.
Some interesting shifts of power are taking place within the music industry today. Word came down that Def Jam President, Joie Manda, has stepped down officially resigning from his position at the famed record label. He was named President nearly a year ago to the hip hop home of many legends and pioneers, but stepped down and introduced himself as the new President of Urban Music at Interscope Records.
