💔“He Tried to Kill My Career”: Dame Dash Breaks Silence on Jay-Z’s Ruthless Betrayal of DMX — And What Happened Next Is Beyond Chilling...

In a world where loyalty is currency and betrayal cuts deeper than bars, Dame Dash has emerged once again—not as a bitter ex-business partner, but as the last man standing who dares to speak on the names most fear to utter.

And this time, he’s not just calling out Jay-Z.

He’s naming names, connecting dots, and revealing what he believes is a deeply orchestrated takedown of DMX — a voice of truth silenced too soon.

And the finger, once again, points squarely at Jay-Z… and his so-called mentor, Lyor Cohen.

The allegations are layered, chilling, and deeply personal.

According to Dame, what happened to DMX wasn’t just industry politics — it was targeted sabotage.

“How do you listen to a whole album, pick a single, shoot a video, and then act like you don’t know?” Dash asked, his voice laced with disbelief and fury.

“You’re trying to eliminate the competition.

” It’s a line that echoes like a gunshot in a closed room.

Because this wasn’t about numbers on a chart — this was about power.

And for Dame, it was always about watching Jay-Z trade in brotherhood for boardrooms.

Rewind to 2004.

Jay-Z becomes the president of Def Jam, replacing Lyor Cohen.

Suddenly, he’s in control — not just of Rockefeller, but of every artist tied to its name.

And not long after, DMX finds himself frozen out, sidelined, then cut loose entirely.

But was this just corporate restructuring, or something far darker?

DMX certainly didn’t think it was innocent.

In multiple interviews, including a now-haunting appearance on The Breakfast Club, X voiced his suspicions loud and clear.

Jay-Z had once announced his retirement, only to return to the rap game after pushing DMX out.

Coincidence? X didn’t think so.

“Okay, I see what’s really good,” he said.

“You trying to eliminate the competition.

” And in that sentence was the root of something most fans never wanted to believe — that Jay-Z’s rise wasn’t just talent or timing, but tactics.

The story gets murkier when you look at who Jay was working with — namely Lyor Cohen.

While Jay publicly praised Cohen in his book Decoded, calling him a mentor and quoting ancient rabbinical wisdom about generosity, DMX and Dame Dash saw something else entirely.

They saw a man who profited off black pain, who orchestrated feuds for profit, and who always seemed to come out clean while the artists got caught in the fire.

Dame has long accused Cohen of being a “culture vulture,” a term that sounded extreme when he first used it.

Now? It sounds prophetic.

The most jarring moment came not from an exposé or interview — but from DMX’s own funeral.

Lyor Cohen, absent in person, sent in a cold, distant video message.

In it, he referred to DMX as a “gremlin” who crashed into a wall — a metaphor so tone-deaf, so cruelly poetic, it stunned even the most cynical fans.

This is the man who claimed to be heartbroken over DMX’s struggles? The same man who, when asked why he signs artists that promote addiction during an opioid epidemic, replied, “I got a business to run”?

Even Charlemagne tha God had to call out the hypocrisy: how could Cohen mourn DMX’s addiction while continuing to sign artists who glorify the very substances that destroyed him? And when Charlemagne

mentioned Dame Dash calling Cohen a culture vulture, Cohen’s chilling response was, “Who’s Dame Dash?” As if decades of shared history had simply been erased — rewritten by those who held the pen.

For Dame, this was more than disrespect.

It was erasure.

On Instagram, he responded with the heat of a man who’s watched his legacy get buried under decades of industry gaslighting: “Thanks for this liar, Cohen, for proving my point in true culture vulture form.

They make money off of us and then try to erase our true history and act like the real ones never existed.”

But what’s most disturbing isn’t what Cohen said — it’s what allegedly happened behind the scenes.

Dame claims that after he started calling out Lyor publicly, the police started circling him.

Strange phone calls.

Surveillance.

Paranoia that felt too real to ignore.

It was enough for Dame to back off — for a time.

“Man, I was hearing too much police talk,” he said.

“And I ain’t feel like being involved.”

If the rumors are true, and Cohen does have intelligence connections — as his slip-ups on Vlad TV suggest — then this story goes far beyond hip-hop.

Born in New York, raised in Israel, and formerly employed by the National Bank of Israel (thanks to his mother, who worked for the Israeli government), Cohen’s résumé raises eyebrows.

Combine that with his relentless rise through American music — from managing Run-DMC to becoming YouTube’s head of global music — and you have a man who seems to always be in the right place at the

right time, always pulling strings just out of view.

And while Jay-Z continues to be praised for his “business moves,” fans are beginning to question the real cost of that success.

How many careers were cut short? How many voices silenced so that one man could shine?

DMX wasn’t just a casualty of addiction.

He was a soldier in a war he didn’t even sign up for — a man who saw the industry for what it was and tried to warn others.

He talked openly about being approached by the devil, recognizing him by his smile and his offers.

“I was able to recognize him by what he said to me and what he offered me and say, ‘Oh, now I know who you are.

That’s why I stopped talking to him.

‘” He spoke about being blackballed.

About turning down invitations to dinner with executives.

About refusing to bend.

And that, ultimately, may have been his undoing.

Even now, years after his death, people are still trying to rewrite DMX’s story — framing him as a troubled genius who couldn’t cope with fame.

But what if he was right all along? What if, like Dame Dash, he saw the puppet strings — and just refused to dance?

And then there’s Dame — the loudest, most consistent critic of Jay-Z.

For years, people dismissed him as petty, jealous, or delusional.

But with each new clip, each resurfaced interview, each backhanded insult caught on camera, the picture becomes harder to ignore.

He’s not just a man yelling into the void.

He’s a man with receipts.

And slowly, painfully, the world is starting to catch up.

On social media, fans are split.

Some still defend Jay, pointing to his philanthropy, his role in criminal justice reform, his billion-dollar empire.

But others are beginning to question the narrative.

“Everything DMX said about these lames in the industry is coming out like a flood that can’t be stopped,” one fan wrote.

“He would be cooking these weirdos right now.”

It’s a chilling thought — that maybe the price of truth in this industry is exile, addiction, or worse.

That those who play the game get rich, while those who speak up get buried.

And maybe that’s why so many artists stay silent.

Because when the smoke clears, and the lights go down, who’s left standing?
