JAY-Z has been called out by Lance “Un” Rivera for not supporting Dame Dash amid his current financial issues.
Rivera, who it was once believed was stabbed by the rap legend, criticized Jay for not reaching into his pockets to help his former friend and business partner.
Asked about Dame’s perilous finances by The Art of Dialogue, he replied: JAY-Z, I hate to keep bringing your name up, but I think it’s some sucker shit. He probably did some things that he did with his money that was, you know what I’m saying—but nah, he not supposed to be in the situation that he’s in.”
Rivera continued: “He has to know that Dame has helped him.”
In recent years, the Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder has battled a number of severe financial issues.
Most recently, he was ordered to pay $4 million to filmmaker Josh Webber, who he was accused of defaming.
According to TMZ, Dash was hit with the hefty judgment following a dispute between himself and the film producer.
Webber initially filed the suit a year ago over claims that he had lost out on $4 million worth of work as a result of comments Dash made on the Earn Your Leisure podcast in 2024.
During his appearance on the show, the Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder claimed that the movie producer had stolen from him regarding their previous dispute over the 2019 film Dear Frank.
Acccording to the suit, Dash said: “I had a judgment. And I knew this dickhead Chris Brown and Josh Webber and Muddy Waters … Chris Brown the lawyer. I went through four trials with the same lawyer.
“What I lost was defamation because these guys trigger me and steal my shit … you think there is freedom of speech, it’s really not.”
The alleged comments were in reference to a previous lawsuit between the pair in which Dash was ordered to pay almost $1 million to Webber over copyright infringement and defamation allegations.
Dash’s one-third stake in Roc-A-Fella, Inc. was recently auctioned off to satisfy his massive debts, which also include unpaid taxes and child support.
However, the record executive owed so many people that Webber didn’t receive a dime.
Dame talks too much shit even when the chips are down. Even now he isn’t humble. With his ego, it should appear weak to be supported by another man.
UN…shut up!
