VIDEO: THE LAST DAYS OF THE ROC – DAMON DASH SCREAMS AT DEF JAM STAFF

Not long after this footage was shot (circa 2003) Jay-Z and Dame Dash went their separate ways. In fact it sounds as if Jay was already distancing himself from Dame. Years later Dame is still paying for these types of outbursts. People have long memories, hence why industry head honchos still continue to turn their backs on him. How could he call Kevin Lile’s the President of Def Jam at the time a “fat boy” and a “punk”? *shaking my head*.

UK NEWS: LONDON PROMOTER “KIDNAPPED” IN NIGERIA RELEASED?

Several days ago it was reported that promoter/co-owner of popular London nightclub Runway Mike Neri had been kidnapped in Lagos Nigeria, along with a female companion. Now I’m hearing through the grapevine that they have now been allegedly released, but no word on who paid the 20 million Naira ransom. A source jokingly said, “Mike will probably make an appearance at Runway this week”. This is a strange story that smells extremely fishy (like a bag of rotton fish), and has the words ‘publicity stunt’ written all over it.  Also []
