Even More Financial Turmoil

Posted by Bossip Staff

Damon Dash

Last week he owed a gang of $ on unpaid mortgages and now his Pro-Keds checks have ended:

Stride Rite Corp. has reacquired the rights to the Pro-Keds brand from financially struggling hip-hop mogul Damon Dash. The change for the iconic, 60-year-old shoe comes a week after Dash, who once boasted that he never wears the same socks twice, reportedly may lose two of his properties to foreclosure. Lexington-based Stride Rite insisted Dash’s financial woes had nothing to do with the rebranding. “It was just a matter of timing,” Stride Rite spokeswoman Debra Fernandes said yesterday. “We just wanted a new direction.”

Damn, we bet Dame is hoping that 4 billion dollar deal he brokered for his wife’s clothing company goes through or they might just be shit out of luck. Poor thang.

    maybe JAY can help him out of his financial bind………IM JUST SAYING!

  19. yapz

    why do you people keep saying he broked a 4 billion dollar deal. thats a lie. the company that he did the deal with is worth 4 billion. that deal he made was less than 50 million. thats like me saying i did a deal with walmart so now im worth billions but its all bull*****. just because you *****ociate with a company that is worth 4 billion dont mean you making that kind of money. he is a damn liar.

  20. Aunt Viv

    Enough Chucky with the spam.

    Dead @ Mandah for elective surgery lol!


  21. @Mandah

    Good point. It’s possible he stored it in different locations, such as in his head, in Rubes belly and Fabolous’s mouth (it’s difficult to get past the jagged rocks–I mean, teeth).


  22. Keep your head up Dame, this is just the karma that was due you. It’ll turn around after you a$$ is whooped sufficiently to make up for your dirt.

    Actually, we are in the 21st century, homie….

    DEAD!!!

  25. tg

    That’s what happens when you wear a new pair of socks everyday – those socks start adding up to big bucks. LMAO

    Get a washing machine – DASH. You could save thousands of dollars on socks alone.

    LMAOOOOO..Jay is laughing at that azz while yachting in St. Tropez:D

  27. 6 Figgaz

    Dame sold the rights back to Stride. That means he was broke off some major chips. Doesn’t sound like “Even More Financial Turmoil” to me…

  28. Ermy Erm (just tired)

    dis nicca lame…neva could stand him….and why would Jay help him? *blank stare*

  29. Envy Me ( I♥DC)

    @IJM

    LOL, but them dudes been friends since waayyy back in the day, i hope Jay wouldn’t do him like that but then again…………..

  30. GOOD THAT'S WHAT HE GETS

    That lumpy potato head *****er seems like the biggest *****hole with his pasty-face lovin’ jive *****. He is only getting what he deserves. Good for him!

  31. Envy Me ( I♥DC)

    @ERM

    IT WAS A JOKE

  32. Ermy Erm (just tired)

  34. Trying hard to enjoy life

    Look like dame is in the same boat as me.

  35. I'm Just Me- 25 OFFICIALLY!! BTW: I KEEP THE PURP BY THA POUND!!!

    @ Envy

    Don’t know who did who dirty first. Were they really ever friends being that Jay was “married to the streets” and all. We know they cannot really have friends in the street. Also, even moreso do you remember how dirty Dame did his son leaving him with no water or electric….chickens coming home to roost.

  36. Envy Me ( I♥DC)

    MY CAP LOCK WAS ALREADY ON

  37. Envy Me ( I♥DC)

    IJM

    THATS CRAZY I REMEMBER THAT BUT I JUST HOPE THAT ELECTRIC AND WATER ***** WASN’T TRUE, BECAUSE IF IT WERE DASH IS A TRIFLIN N*GGA, AND FAR AS DAME AND JAY, I THINK IT WAS PROBABLY GREED, AND JEALOUSY(WHICH ONE OF US CAN MAKE THE MOST MONEY)AND ***** JUST GOT OUTTA HAND

  38. chaka1

    Times are tough all the way around. No one is slinglin bling any more. It’s time to buckle down and save your cash.

  39. kevwebb (I GOT NOW, I DON'T CARE WHO GOT NEXT)

    This is old news. Actually Dame sold it back to Pro Keds…he was the one changing direction.

  40. statim08

    He never had any talent and it’s finally catching up to him.

  41. kevwebb (I GOT NOW, I DON'T CARE WHO GOT NEXT)

    @ statim08: Be honest…Dame is a smart dude. I’m a Jigga fan, but Dame put it together. He just made a few bad moves, mainly the situation with making Cam president of Roc-a-Fella which Jay didn’t like too much. For the most part, Dame was the brains. Jay was a marketable tool. He’s getting over right now because he’s selling himself (which most people do).

  42. Redd Tony aka Earth Sign {Its time for a Revolution)

    Aint no way in hell that nicca broke

  43. Redd Tony aka Earth Sign {Its time for a Revolution)

    I think Dame smarth mouth and arshole ways affected his business relationship wit Jay. Just like in the song “Lost Ones” Jay was like, “*****s saying they made Hov, made Hov say ok, Just make another Hov”.

  44. ms k

    I CAN’T FEEL SORRY FOR HIM. I WATCHED THAT CRIB EDITION OF HIM BRAGGING ABOUT NOT WEARING SOCKS & TEES TWICE.THE FOOL ACTUALLY SAID HE THROW THEM AWAY THEN PROCEEDED TO GO TO THE POOL WITH A HERD OF WOMAN DRINKING AND TOASTING .

  45. Envy Me (This is a Government Workplace, Why are they fighting as if they were still in High School?)

    @MS K

    I saw that episode i was so disgusted, but i mean hey if you can do it, do it but make sure u have have the means to still do that s*it 10 yrs later

    @EARTH SIGN

    hey hun!

  46. Shavon Denise

    Dont feel sorry for his hubris a$$ at all. He brags about everything like most people from Harlem and doesnt have an ounce of humilty. Made all that money from selling Rocafella Records AND his stake in the clothing line. Sold the Roc record label to LA Reid than got mad when LA gave the name to Jay calling him disloyal, claiming he made Jay. So like Jay says Dame, “..make another me”. He cant because he was riding a wave and he had it all but his own attitude missed everything up. But at least his wife will take care of the family and he will me Mr. Doubtfire

  47. kevwebb (I GOT NOW, I DON'T CARE WHO GOT NEXT)

    All:

    Check out smacktube, and look for an interview by Dame on 6/25/08. He explains how he sold Pro-Keds license back to Stride-Rite months ago. Like I said, this is old news. He’s not broke.

  48. Redd Tony aka Earth Sign {Its time for a Revolution)

    @Envy Me

    Whats up hows your morning?

  49. roe ski love

    I remember when he had a tv show on that was real wack. He was bragging then about how his ***** did’nt stink. All I could think of was seeing this *****hole in a corporate setting where he was’nt in control, and seeing him make a fool of himself trying to keep it real and gangster in front of corporate america. He was bound to eventually fail, because ghetto can’t hang with coroporate culture and continue to thrive. What they do is use you until you can’t be used anymore, then they throw you out with the trash.

  50. Envy Me (This is a Government Workplace, Why are they fighting as if they were still in High School?)

    its going good, can’t wait until 5:30 though

  51. kevwebb (I GOT NOW, I DON'T CARE WHO GOT NEXT)

    Also…he didn’t have a 4 billion dollar deal. The company he brokered the deal with is worth 4 Billion. His wife has a clothing line with them, and she has the potential to make a lot money. A lot of different brands have lines with this company (including Ralph Lauren, Ann Taylor, etc.)

  52. Ms. Toson

    People like him gave me a learning experience that I cannot forget..which is never boast about what you acquired as if you did it all without the aid of a higher spiritual calling (of whatever you believe in..i.e GOD yet there may be others who believe in Luci himself) because it can all be taken back swiftly due to no acknowledgement to whatever was instrumental in your efforts.

  53. Just my opinion

    crazy to me to say that Dame had the business sense and Jay was just a marketing tool. It should be more than obvious that Jay was the one with the business sense since he’s the successful businessman. He runs the business and thankfully he knew enough to take it from Dame before he screwed it up. I hate to bring thier past lives into this but Jay has always been a business man even if it was the wrong business. Dame was emotional and out of control. He was always yelling at someone, getting into a fight, overtalking people and being a general azz. Jay knew enough to cut him loose. Remember his antics on the movie that traced the concert? Pure foolishness, yelling at everybody. that is not how you do business.

  54. Redd Tony aka Earth Sign {Its time for a Revolution)

    Jay is a back stabber

  55. Orignal thoughts are hard to come by these days

  58. Seek the light beyond the shadows

    Dash, JZ called back he said he if you kiss his converse he may be able to help you out.

  59. CiCi

    Maybe his wealth declining will make him a humble man. A few bad decisions has ole boy in the hole sweating.

  60. Orignal thoughts are hard to come by these days

    @MK

    Ok I guess I cansee where you are coming from. But still this guy did put together one of the greatest independent labels ever. He might be in a screwed up position now. But I’m sure there are people in here who are talking about him who would still love to be in his “fyked up situation now”. Just seems like a lot of hate. Bossip staff.. don’t rejoice at a mans down fall.. Looking like some haters.

  63. always knew

    Whoa, Dame you are slowly going broke..Why are all your business contracts running out. Get back on your grind..Ever since you left Roc-A-Fella, it’s just going down hill…I thought he and his wife just closed a billion dollar deal, the other week?? Must not have started yet??? Dame, you better get busy selling, or you going to lose everything….

  64. bria

    I think that once you have figured out how too make your first million it will be easy to make it again once you loose it. Even Donald Trump file for bankruptcy in the late 80’s.

    Fake ***** fraud! He cracks me up trying to act like he’s so hood when everyone knows his bytch ***** went to Prep school. Instead of just him just doing him,he just had to try and out-diddy,diddy. Dame is a damn joke!No wonder Hov bounced on bytch ***** and left him on the curb.

  68. Graphixmeister

    He’s an *****hole. Couldn’t have happened to a better person.


  69. He talked way too much money talk… Annoying. Seriously. Every interview was… I never rock this more than once, and what’s that BS about staying fresh… What was that dumb asz sh*t he used to say… LOL Oh. Yeah… I stay fresh to death. Seriously. Take some time and look over your finances boo, boo. Sit back and chill. Think about how the person you so-call made, is still making it. See if you can make another. So you can continue to act a clown and dance in their video’s. CAN I GET A DICE ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
