Drake could have supposedly temporarily owned a third of JAY-Z‘s Reasonable Doubt, with Dame Dash claiming that The Boy previously made an offer to buy his Roc-a-Fella shares.
In a recent interview on his America Nu Network, Dash alleged that Drizzy hit him up via his DMs and made an offer. “…I’m not quite sure what happened, but I thought that he had got with Jay or something,” he continued. “But I don’t know. It would be a good time to close. But if you got it. I wouldn’t do it if you didn’t get it. But you know if you want to own Reasonable Doubt. If you want to own a third of it, you have to say that at the board meetings for at least the next seven years and make money off of it.”
Lupe Fiasco seemingly corroborated this story as earlier as July, when Dash confirmed on an Instagram post that he is selling his shares of Roc-a-Fella and that it includes a third of Reasonable Doubt. “@champagnepapi will keep it safe for generations to come,” Fiasco wrote in a now-deleted comment. “This is grail and influenced an innumerable amount of rappers to see it peddle such a lack of grace genuinely hurts my feelings a little bit.”
Earlier this August, Hov’s legal team filed a notice stating that the rights of 1996 record will be given back to the artist in 2031. This means that whoever acquires Dash’s Roc-a-Fella shares will only be able to enjoy the fruit of Reasonable Doubt’s (the record label’s only substantial asset) labor for seven years before all of its revenue will be returned to JAY-Z.
