During a recent That’s F***ed Up Podcast episode, Dame Dash opened up about JAY-Z’s alleged bitterness over him dating Aaliyah while they were both courting the late singer.
“I just threw my A-game, and I guess Jay was trying to get at her as well, and I didn’t know,” he explained. “Then it got brought up, and I was like, ‘Fuck both of y’all.’ It never worked out for them, and we were both trying to get at her. I eased up, and then we ran into each other.
“Everybody was getting at Aaliyah, bro. She’ll go to dinner with a n-gga, but she wasn’t just gonna be smashing. So that was like the big deal — who could get with Aaliyah.”
Later in the interview, a co-host asked Dame Dash if JAY-Z was bitter about him dating Aaliyah and coming out ahead.
“Obviously,” Dame replied. “Yeah, he felt a way.”
He then went on to share that tensions escalated during a July 4 party in 2000 when Dame ended up romantically involved with the singer.
“He was sending flowers and doing all that shit — he was courting her,” Dame added. “So we were both going hard, and we ended up in the same house Fourth of July. It was like one day it might lean toward him, then it would lean toward me.
“I was just on fire that week. Everything I was saying was funny. I remember coming down after it happened, and he was like, ‘You know this gonna be hard for me.’ His friends were laughing at him and shit.”
Dame Dash and Aaliyah met in 2000 through a mutual accountant and started dating until Aaliyah’s untimely death in a plane crash in the Bahamas in August 2001.
