Aaliyah Prompted Damon Dash Jay-Z Feud: Aaliyah Dated Jay-Z
The famous falling out between former Roc-A-Fella bosses Jay-Z and Dame Dash was sparked by the men’s love for late R&B beauty Aaliyah, according to producer/director Choke No Joke.
Choke No Joke insists the now bitter relationship between Jay-Z and Dash extended beyond a series of business disagreements that led to the division of The Roc in 2004.
The director claims both Aaliyah first dated Jay-Z and the “Can I Get A….” rapper became unhappy when Dame started publicly dating the singer in late 2000.
Aaliyah and Dame were still seeing each other at the time of her death in a plane crash in 2001.
“Both Jay and Dame was involved with a certain R&B singer, who I’m not gonna say her name out of respect ’cause she ain’t around to defend herself, but I believe that was a part of the initial friction,” Choke tells Hip Hop Weekly.
“I was seeing Jay with her back around 2000, then Dame was with her after. All you have to do is look at the movie they did, Death of a Dynasty. In the movie they were fighting over a model. In real life she was a model, but singing is what she was known for first.”

Yeah I read in Teen People in 2000 that Aaliyah and Jay-Z were spotted at a club in the corner kissing. Didn’t think anything of it they were both young and single. No big deal. Maybe it wasn’t serious between her and Jay and she moved on.

Personally, I believe that Jay and Aaliyah were good friends, they had both said so themselves when at one point the media was almost in a trance of drilling them about their appearances and stuff like that. I honestly do think, however, that Jay Z had a crush on Aaliyah as did half of the rap moguls around at that time. But she didn’t feel the same as him, but she remained friends with him in spite of the heavy floating feelings. Damon Dash’s sister, Stacey Dash had before that time had become best friends with Aaliyah, and she hooked her up with Damon. They were planning on being married in the spring of 2002, but unfortunately her death put an eternal halt on that plan.
Jay Z and Dame even said that the reason they fell out was because; Damon felt like Jay Z was starting to take control of the Rocawear/ Roc-A-Fella dynasty and had stopped including Dame in some of the legal and social decisions being made towards the businesses and it pissed Dame off.
Jay Z then started becoming more internationally independent and just decided to eventually cut Dame off from the businesses completely. After that without any real steady income, Damon went bankrupt, and Jay Z went on to become even more of a mega star in his own right, not to mention him and Beyonce’s marriage in later time. He had dated Beyonce in 2000.
People tend to take little fly-by-night rumors they hear through the grapevine that most of the time are false, and stemming from pictures, or he say/she say to grow into something that can get out of control.

AALIYAH AND JAY Z NEVER DATED. AALIYAH EVEN CONFIRMED THAT ON MTV: STRIPPED.
They were just really good friends. And when they hung out people always thought because both of them were so “hot” as far as popularity goes that there was more than just a friendship being pursued. But that wasn’t even the case.
Aaliyah was NOT the cause for Jay Z and Damon’s feud. What ignited their feud was a few years after Aaliyah’s death, Jay Z decided that professionally he wanted to go his seperate ways and wanted to break all financial and professional [business] ties with Damon.
He didn’t inform Damon right away, instead he dropped subtle hints for example; Making business decisions for Roc-A-Fella by himself. Even though him and Damon had signed a deal to be partners in whatever legal issues come along regarding Roc A Fella.
He started adding more to the clothing line [Roc A Wear] which Damon was also a co-founder of.
He became more and more independent and kind of started leaving Damon in the aftermath of it all and Damon confronted Jay about the whole ordeal.
Jay and Damon fell out over the business agreement and Damon ended up signing off his contract with all Roc-A-Fella proceedings including the clothing line Roc-A-Wear.
That right there put Damon in a very big glitch, considering the fact that him being CEO/ Co Founder of those two companies along with Jay Z was helping his income.
Once he went ahead and signed himself off from the entire label and Jay Z he went bankrupt.
Jay Z on the other hand went solo and got paid like crazy, while Damon even to this day is struggling to really find a steady job potential for himself.
Damon had been on the Roc-A-Fella team since the mid 90s that’s how he was able to “live it up” with Jay Z and all of his friends and business associates.
It wasn’t because they both had a thing for Aaliyah and jealousy played the part. It was completely different situation that happened years after Aaliyah had passed and it was pertaining to Jay Z ‘s decision not to let Damon know right off the bat that he doesn’t want him on the Roc team anymore.
Jay Z i believe however had a crush on Aaliyah, but they were never dating. The whole “kissing” rumors was just a little bit of “zest” that journalists and media wanted to add to the Jay Z Aaliyah story just to give the readers more to talk about and get hyped up over.
But it was confirmed FALSE. RIP Baby Girl.

NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS, FOLKS!
“AALIYAH’S CONNECTION WITH ROCKEFELLER, JAY-Z AND DAMON DASH
Right before the death of Aaliyah, she was “dating” a big time hip-hop record producer, Damon Dash. Damon at the time was married or involved with another woman. What points to the fact that damon could have been her handler is that he was the only one who kept having spuratic encounters with the late star before her death. Damon himself admitted they didn’t even see each other that much because she always had a busy schedule….(Was damon dash only seeing Aaliyah on a scheduled occurence to ‘update’ aaliyah’s programming?)
After Aaliyah’s death, reports surfaced that Aaliyah had sexual relations with Jay Z (a known freemason and parnter of Damon Dash). There are pics all over the net of the two getting “cozy” together. It is rumoured that Damon and Jay Z were fighting over aaliyah (were they fighting over who gets to control the ‘sex slave’?) Jay z is a handler in the entertainment industry (currently he is the handler of Rihanna and Beyonce) which could lead to the fact that Damon could have been Aaliyah’s handler right before her death.
Right before Aaliyah’s death, she was traveling to foreign countries to perform and promote her album. Due to the fact that Aaliyah was only semi-successful in the United States and many people didn’t even know of her, I found it odd that her record label would pay money for her to promote an album over seas without even promoting it that well in the U.S. That is when I learned that the Illuminati use mk’d celebrity sex slaves and their ‘touring’ in other countries to promote their album ,as a front for ‘servicing’ elite businessmen overseas sexually. I believe that Michael Jackson was used like this along with other stars. I believe a similiar thing was going on with the late mexican singer, Selena.(i’m going to do a post of her soon).
Aaliyah’s last album she was promoting had a cover in which aaliyah was standing in the middle of the shot, and the background was red. MJ also has a album cover where he is dressed in all red or have red in the album. This is NOT a good sign. The color red is used by the illuminati on mk’d celebrities to show either bloodline and or the celebrity as being a sacrifice.”

R.I.P. Aaliyah, the the last time, stop hating on this women, she was a great singer, performer, she was just becoming a young lady. I said it before, not hating, get your family history straight. I am so sure, many of you talking shit, have many family members that have had kids, or gotten married at a tender age of 12, 13, 14. Trust me, back in slavery time, it happened over and over again. R. Kelly, might be a dog, dog, and need to go to jail for a lot of stuff he did. But we can at lease say this, he respected Aaliyah, loved Aaliyah we believed, and he married her. I don’t get the music industry, where these men, think they have to marry the person they are producing their music. Toni Mottila, married Mariah Carey, put her through hell. People wake up and smell the dang gone coffee. Aaliyah was young, ok i am so sick of people comparing her with this tramp Beyonce, like father, like daughter, both whores, tramp, some on. Aaliyah should not even be mentioned in the same sentence with Beyonce. Leave Aaliyah along, she is not here to defend herself. She was happy, she enjoyed ever minute of her music and acting life. Give it a rest, you need to get a life and stop talking about Jay-Z and Aaliyah, OMG, people can be friends, i have taken pictures with many of men, gone to lunch, breakfast, dinner, that don’t mean i sleep with not one of them, i didn’t. OMG, married men, they were always trying to get a me, i said no, and that’s what i meant. Good Lord, can’t anybody in this industry be friends, and everybody stop thinking she sleep with them all. Now the tramp Beyonce, i have heard about a lot o men, she has been with. I do agree, she is a liar, about her age, i don’t care what the birth certificate says, anybody can, make up anything they want. She is the oldest looking 28 year old, i have ever seen, and how many years she going to say that. Hello. What ever the color Red means, i don’t know, other than the Blood of Jesus. Someone said on another email blog, that she and Beyonce practice evil stuff. We enjoy some scarey movies, and stuff, i loved Dark Shadows when i was a kid, The vampire, Bardibus, Angelic the good beautiful witch, they were the bomb back in the day. Damn, people if i could have grow up and played Angelic, i’m telling you, i would have been the Black Angelic, Hello. Aaliyah make-up in the movie was the best, i just wish her mom would have said, hold off on the demon movies for awhild. Grow in the movie industry first, just a natual beatuy, give her some respect, you can’t ask for no more.PLEASE.

First off let me say that it is a person’s constitutional right to speak their mind, that’s the very reason why we leave comments on here anyway..Moving along … I have Love for all these artists but, just because you love and respect an artist doesn’t mean that they have done somethings that they aren’t proud of..Hell I can vouch for that..All I’m sayin is that I wouldn’t put it pass them if a love triangle was ever was… (lots of things go on in the entertainment world that would make you cringe). Come on now, We all know that the fall of Roccafella records was deeper than Aaliyah…She may have had something to do with them both but who really knows…Its just something that makes you go HMMMM!

I just love how almost half of you guys just copied from the comment before yours. I believe something was fishy about the sudden plane crash back in 01. I may be one of the only ones to believe that it was murder. Damon couldn’t even leagally marry Aaliyah. He was married to someone else and I didn’t hear any breakup rumors going around. I think this may go deep into some real shit, but I’m not screaming “ILLUMINATI”. Aaliyah would still be kicking it if she didn’t board that bootleg plane with the crackhead, drunk pilot
Did they even fly people before Aaliyah? Why did’nt Aaliyah just fly a commercial airline to Miami (Where Dash was at the time)? All questions that may never be answed.
Hell, I got a better question! Why was the equitment and the footage of “Rock the Boat” on the same plane with Aaliyah and her Entorage? We’ll may never know what happened but I just have a sneaky feeling that Damon did have something to do with it, seeing that a few days after her death he threw a fly little house party with some groupie jumpoffs.
