Entertainment: Rapper “Super-Devastated” by Mom’s Death; Ex-Millionaire Label Head’s Financial Woes Continue
November 17th, 2008
Rapper is “super-devastated” by mom’s death. Could the frustration of grief over his mom’s death be behind Kanye West’s recent clashes with photographers? Maybe it’s a coincidence, but just days after People magazine published West’s first public comments on losing his parent, the rapper is explaining his second arrest in three months. Kanye was questioned by police in England, but not charged this past weekend after a cameraman claimed the rapper shoved his camera into his face, causing a cut. West took to his blog to write about the incident outside Newcastle’s Tup Tup Club: “I put my hand up to the camera in self-defense! …My security yelled, ‘Get the camera off him!’ I guess, in all the commotion, the camera scraped his nose.” West barely escaped felony charges in September when he and an assistant were caught on video destroying another photographer’s equipment at an airport. Instead, West was issued a misdemeanor. He further blogs, “When will there be a law passed that simply enforces that someone has to ask to take a photograph of you?” People quoted West as saying that his mother’s death, due to cosmetic surgery complications last year, left him “super-devastated. I didn’t do any interviews after my mom passed,” he tells the mag. “I wasn’t ready to speak about [it]. Now I’d rather talk it through than commit suicide. …I feel like I moved to California, then my mom moved to California, and she did stuff she wouldn’t have done if we’d stayed in Chicago. If I’d never made it in the music business, it never would’ve happened.”
Ex-millionaire label head’s financial woes continue. Former Roc-a-Fella Records boss Damon Dash doesn’t have “a pot to p–s in,” says a lawyer who recently sued him. “They’re broke,” Jason Gabbard says of Dash and his wife, following a suit over $148,505 in unpaid fees. The lawyer tells The New York Daily News that Dash owed a fashion firm the cash before the suit was settled. Earlier this year, the entertainment entrepreneur’s New York home was reported in foreclosure, and just this month his Chevy Tahoe was seized after he reportedly stopped paying the $714.99 monthly lease. If that’s not enough, Dash faces an outstanding debt of $2.1 million in New York state taxes and at least three other pending suits and unpaid tabs.
That is sad, some people do not know how to live in a humble way. Damon should have not lived in such a way that his money was being spent before he knew it. Common Cents rule #1, when you get a load of money, put a million dollars away for a cushion. I guess he did not take that class.
WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN WHEN YOU THINK YOU ON TOP AND DOWN OTHER PEOPLE IT WILL COME BACK TO YOU . WHAT HAPPEN TO CAM JIM JONES BAILING YOU OUT SHOULD STUCK WITH JAY .GRASS NOT GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE.
Well, is he still cocky or what…
Hey Jay-Z, please cut this man a check, this is got to be getting to embarrassing for Dame. Don’t let him becme the Ed McMahon of Hip Hop! You know that’s still ya boy, even though he got to greedy on trying to cut a deal with you before you left him. Dame, your about to see who your real friends are now. Good luck though…………
I saw him on MTV Cribs. He was unbearably arrogant & foolish!!! He said he doesn’t wear a white t-shirt(wife beater) twice. He made me so sick!!! I can’t stand arrogance!!! Neither can GOD. Dat goes in da category of pride. Their’ll always be a warning b4 u fall bruh. U shud’ve listened, slowed dowm check yuh self b4 u wrecked yuhself. Maybe this will teach u what GOD is attracted to, humility. I pray u call on HIM & ask 4 HIS 4giveness & HE’ll lead u outta dis mess better dan any1 else can. Trust me!!! Stop being such a butt cramp dude. U wrub ppl da wrong way 2much, it’s not neccessary. We have a saying back home in Jamaica” 2day fi u, 2morrow fi me” (u might be on top 2day? But 2morow may be my turn) now listen up u cocky bastard!!! Dupri did it & so can u. Bounce back, u can do dis. Don’t entertain negative thoughts. GOD will wash away yer embarrassment if u seek HIM. He’s the merciful ones, not the world. U’ll now know & c all da ppl u hurt, how dem spit pon u, u gonna c da 1z who were posers, who yer wife told u she didn’t trust. But don’t give up, allow GOD to turn dis around for yer good…GOD’s speed Mr & Mrs Dash, GOD’s speed.
Poor baby…Kanye is blaming himself for his mother’s death. That explains why he’s been acting out more than usual. When your mother dies…those what if’s can drive you crazy if you let them. I know personally…. God bless Kanye…it get’s better with time…soon he’ll only smile with warm memories when he thinks of his mother. It took me some time but I got there eventually. Now I can laugh at some of the stuff she did and amazingly I remember all the lessons she taught me…people say I’m a lot like her so I guess her memory lives in me. I take that as a compliment.
kanye ur still my baby i love u for life no matter what
just remember that once u have life pain and suffering is necessary,
it builds character. high self esteem, success and it also comes with respect
some people stop, our journeys continue
just dont be the one who stop
LOVE YOU FOR LIFE
KANYE TO THE FLIPPING WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PAPER SOLDIERS (LOL)
I am a sexy big black beauty, I feel lonely, What I really need is some new friends, Feel free to chat with me on ******* http://kissmillionaires.com ***** for hot guys and girls to flirt with each other
Aww Damon, let me find out you did a Hammer time..
Guys with bad attitudes verses guys with good attitudes,
guys with bad (negative) attitudes are mike tyson, dennis rodman, damon dash.
guys with good (positive) attitudes are magic johnson, will smith, and shaq.
so are you all paying attention, or am I the only one?
It’s sad b/c it seems he lost his focus once he THOUGHT shyt was sweet. Jay never lost sight, never took his eye off the prize. Damon did not hold up his end of the bargin, running around being a dyck, throwing money this way & that way, making it rain…… Now I bet he wished he would’ve stayed true to who he came in the game with & never let money & temporary power control him. He was supposed to make money, not let money make him. I guess he’ll be working at UPS soon.
Kanye needs to stop trying to blame his antics on his mother’s death. He is a grown ass man who knows right from wrong. There are plenty of people out there who have lost a parent that they are really close to, yet they are not out there acting a natural fool.
