Dame Dash isn’t letting his latest appearance on The Breakfast Club slide. The 54-year-old entrepreneur says he plans to file a defamation lawsuit against the popular radio show following what he describes as a smear campaign during their chaotic interview earlier this month.
Dame Dash’s lawsuit threat
In a recent sit-down with Cam Capone News, the Roc-A-Fella co-founder claimed he’s already sent a demand letter and intends to move forward with legal action:
“I’m suing The Breakfast Club, but I also sent a demand letter to [pause] the Chris Brown lawyer and everyone that was in that whole circle and scene.”
Dash’s frustration stems from seemingly trivial comments made during the interview.
“The thing is, we on the radio. So if you say I got dirty sneakers, playing or not, they can’t see it. Then they’re going to think I got on dirty sneakers. It’s going to get into the algorithm. ‘Dame has on dirty sneakers.’ I don’t want to hear that when I got on new sneakers.”
Of course, The Breakfast Club streams its interviews on video as well, which would make disproving the claim fairly simple.
Double standards?
Dash also criticized how the hosts treated him compared to conservative commentator Ben Shapiro, who recently appeared on the show.
“Someone that triggers our culture constantly. They gave him the utmost respect. They let him talk.”
On Instagram, Dash addressed Charlamagne Tha God directly, writing:
“Why would they give another culture more respect than their own? I just don’t understand. Smh @cthagod. Are they paying you to do it? Either you hate us or someone is paying you to do it. Allegedly. #StopTearingYourOwnCultureDownChallenge.”
Inspired by Trump’s tactics
Dash explained that rather than retaliating on the streets, he’s taking a page from Donald Trump’s playbook:
“The people that have been fking with me, and I think it’s been illegal the way they’ve been fking with me, I’m not going to take it to the street. I’m not in the street. I look at what President Donald Trump does. He sues people.”
For now, it’s unclear if legal action will actually move forward. VIBE has reached out to The Breakfast Club for comment.
