Damon Dash says Harlem OGs convinced him to end the beef, but Cam’ron isn’t answering his calls and 50 Cent remains a wild card.
Damon Dash says he’s ready to bury old grudges with 50 Cent and Cam’ron, even if peace might be showing up a little late.
In a recent post, the Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder revealed he’s been speaking with Harlem elders who told him flat out the drama was corny and needed to stop. “The OG’s let me know that everything about this Beef situation was corny,” Dame explained, adding that he listened and took the advice to heart.
Dash admitted he tried reaching out to Cam’ron to squash their issues, but the Harlem rapper hasn’t responded. “Cam’ron is not talking to me,” Dame confessed, before noting he’s at peace regardless. He reminded people he’s doing fine at his home by the water, “on the dock of the bay.”
What raised eyebrows, though, is that Dash also tagged 50 Cent and REVOLT in the same post. REVOLT publicly disputed Dame’s past claim that he was their chairman, a move many saw as undercutting his position. Still, Dash doubled down, insisting he’s chairman as long as his content is on the platform. I’m thinking that declaration could further strain his relationship with REVOLT, especially since Cam’ron and Ma$e are thriving with their “It Is What It Is” show and “Talk With Flee” as well.
The inclusion of 50 Cent hints at a possible business angle. With reports that 50 controls the rights to a forthcoming “Paid in Full” TV project, Dash could be positioning himself to stay in the mix. Money, after all, can make even anybody reconsider their stance.
The ongoing saga between Dame, Cam, and 50 has stretched for years, fueled by public shots, old business disputes, and clashing egos. While Dame insists he’s ready to reconcile, it remains unclear if the others feel the same way. For now, peace seems more like a theory than reality.
Hip-Hop has seen plenty of feuds, but this one is particularly odd. The Harlem trifecta seems like it will remain fractured. Oh well, the world continues to turn and the cycle of madness continues.
