“It’s Like Kickin’ A Blind, Three-Legged Dog…” - Rachel Roy Files For Divorce From Dame Dash

LOL, I started to be extra cynical and sing the “Dame Dash is dead, Dame Dash is dead…” mock that he once sang on a Dips mixtape. Dame ain’t dead, but for the sake of baby Jesus it’s like the man can’t catch a break. Now, reports show that he may longer be Mr. Rachel Roy.
Roc-A-Fella Records and Rocawear co-founder Damon Dash has been slapped with divorce papers by wife Rachel Roy, the Daily News has learned. The stunning fashion designer piled onto Dash’s already sizable stack of lawsuits when she filed for divorce from her husband of four years this month in Manhattan Supreme Court. Ed Hayes, a lawyer for Roy, declined comment, and a Dash spokeswoman did not return calls or e-mails. An electronic record of the case says the divorce is for “nonmonetary relief” and should be resolved by February.
It’s not like she could get bread out of Dame, since that would be “trying to get blood from a turnip” as my uncle would say. Son has had legal woes for a minute — $2 mil in taxes, foreclosure on his two condos, his Tahoe seized last year when he couldn’t pay the note and being sued left & right. But jeez, he literally helped her propel her career another notch, shouldn’t that count for something? One thing is evident: whatever Dame is doing, do the opposite as he keeps hitching his wagon to the wrong horse lol. Proof? Attaching himself to Capo over Cam, Block Savvy, Pro-Keds, need we go on? And where the hell is Biggs?
I can imagine Dame & David Upchurch sitting @ a bar trading sob stories over watered-down beers, looking like Randolph & Mortimer.

Maybe Cappo’s new play will be the launching pad that blasts him to Will Smith superstar levels. Or not.
Any legal eagles want to tell me what”nonmentary relief” mean?
what was his name in that Death of a Dynasty movie?
Young Fresh N Fly or something? that was hilarious.
Dame, I’m here….maybe hosting a Boogie Bang will put your career back where it belongs? Get at me.

it means “just get this nerve-racking ass aggin the fuck out of my life”
Damn, bitchez ain’t shit!!! Once the dough goes, the hoe goes (I don’t mean all women, just the one mentioned here). Still, it perplexes me how these dudes are able to breeze through their cash so easily and end up in financial ruin.
Damn, karma can’t be that bad for dude. Can it?
One reason is that they believe the money will always be there. Plus Damon Dash shitted on so many people when Rocafella was on top; once the chink in the armor showed, people wanted revenge.
@ TrackStar: Fuck hosting a mixtape, you need to be his new DJ and A&R!!! Dame made the right moves at Roca-Fella, from discovering and signing the talent, to promoting and solidifying the Roca-Fella brand. He
needs to get back on his music-grizzly. If anything, we need a TrackStar/Dame/Cam’ron mixtape with all new exclusive tracks.
LOL @ the thought of his reminiscing on his past glory days doing his patented Dame Dash dance and dumping Belvedere vodka all over model chicks.
and some people wonder why these cats straight shit on, and run through these types of females when that money starts coming in…
* searches for The Chronic on ipod *
* sings along w/ Snoop & crew *
“bahbah, bah, bah, but hoes n’ tricks…”
Why does everyone assumes she left him because of money; especially since she is doing well with her career. Not saying she didn’t but unless you walked a mile in her shoes yall shouldn’t assume.
Something in me does not want to call her a gold digger lol. She worked her way up from Rocawear intern to “creative fashion director” of Rocwear Women to having her own clothing line that caters to the uber rich. Ain’t like she was just sitting there doing nothing.
Besides, it’s always been rumored that Dame has been broke for a minute. Why stay this long?
I’d say he cold ran out of luck… but I bet he deserves it on some level. I bet he ran through one too many side pieces for her to handle anymore.
@flea
I’d imagine it has something to do with continuing to live the good life after the money stops rollin in. I’d assume (since I’m broke as f**k) you get accustomed to all the finer things and it’s hard to go back. That’s the only way I can explain it. You’d think someone that came from nothing, would be more careful with their money.
RMF…
^ Or for their Anniversay he brought her Grand Master Flash’s latest album as a gift. lol!!!
@Bigga… oh yeah, I def don’t think this is her being wrong or money hungry. None of us know what goes on behind closed doors… especially the doors of a man in charge who thinks he can get away with come-what-may.
Hahahahaha if my husband bought me ANYthing from Flash… it’d be OVER! Money be damned…
LC:
If your husband was Bill Gates you aint leaving, you would bump that Flash CD while wearing a French Maids outfit Oh la la!!
I think Dame was pouring Belevy on the housekeepers and the nanny, Rachel got tired of him wasting good liquor. LOL!!
the notion that travelling in these circles and then suddenly finding that financial circle tightening around her neck had nothing to do w/ the split is naïve.
same reason a lot of athletes “ironically” divorce around the end of their playing career…
women on the side????
“it was all good just a week ago” © Jigga
not excusing Dame’s ish, cuz there’s always(!!!) 2 sides (+ the truth), but c’mon… (and perhaps this is appples n’ oranges here) if Yoga Simmons lost his loot would he still be ‘doing his thing’ w/ model chicks n’ such?
^ excuse the errors. dog-tired.
@Flea…i dont need convincing, i’m in. get him on the phone
…and would Cam not be possibly the best mixtape host ever?
@ TrackStar: You need to hit up Cam on Twitter ASAP!!! If you ever pulled off a Cam/Dame tape…sheeeeeeeit!!! It would be a wrap for these other DJ dudes. Cam would be a dope host, the interludes and drops would be classic.
@ AV: That’s what I was thinking too, but like you said you’d think that dudes would actually manage their $$$ a bit better.
@ Bigga: It’s not that she left him for the cake, it’s lifestyle and the stability that the cake brings. Granted, she has her own dough but not too many women will stay by a man whose in financial dire straits while they’re climbing the socio-economic ladder.
@ LC: Damn, I was going to send you an autographed Flash Kangol!!!
yo Dame is still a fuckin’ multi-multi-multi-milli-onnnnairrreee! so…
no struggle no problem. he pays his wife, she goes and he will fuck some other bitches. nothing more, nothing less. still a (lil) rap mogul btw. thus
All this Grandmaster Flash talk…I bet it’s Dash who’s singing the chorus to “The Message” in his head: “…don’t push me cuz I’m close to the edge, I’m tryin’ not to lose my head…” lol
Now I’mma have the beat to “Big Pimpin” in my head all day, while I picture dude waking up in the morning, making his breakfast, scraping a butter knife against some almost burnt toast and drinking Maxwell House, with a bunch of unopened envelopes stamped “PAST DUE” on his kitchen table
@Teef: Karma is a right bitch. That is all.
Dame need to go to church. For real.
LOL@ Teef,
But this dude has lost everything he loved…………His mom -> Aaliyah,-> Rocafella->, his money -> pride -> Now wifey
Im with you DS, I think God tryna give him a msg he aint listening to
And didn’t he JUST have a baby with ol girl. Daaag.
yo if i’m wrong correct me, doesn’t non-monetary relief mean something like she’s not looking for any bread from him? she just wants to be done with it?..if she was a true gold digger and a evil bitch she’d try to get him for everything? no? but one can say that it’s a easier and simpler process to just ask for a divorce and fruck all the proceedings about who gets what when. Plus she got 2 of his kids to take care of. So she can’t be winning by asking for no money. For her it might just be the principal of “oh i hate his guts, get him out of my life”. I dunno that’s just my take on the situation.
damn, i didnt know Dash was “Scott Storch’in It” these days
she just hit dame with the “we don’t wanna hear that weak shit no mooooooooooooo”
But this dude has lost everything he loved…………His mom -> Aaliyah,-> Rocafella->, his money -> pride -> Now wifey
============
Damn. That’s a diff way to look @ it.
Dame need to go to church. For real.
========
What to find him a wife? This ain’t Coming To America lol.
damn, i didnt know Dash was “Scott Storch’in It” these days

lol

But on some real shit, Rachael Roy is stttrrraaaiiiggghhttt! When I first saw them together I thought, “Damn, they don’t match.” Even if he wasn’t dead-broke, I don’t think she was happy. And that’s where I came in.
*irons cape*
Yes!
*Tiger Woods fist pump*
Let me catch that bish Rachael out on the streets, I’m all over that joint.
Dash can still have a viable financial future if he were to turn his energies towards nurturing DASH Films. He could finance some promising independent projects, and who knows it could be Miramax after a while, but dude got his fingers in toe many pies and the vultures are obviously circling.
Maybe he just leased his soul, not sold it outright.
His name was Robert Paulson!
His name was Robert Paulson!
His name was Robert Paulson!
His name was Robert Paulson!
His name was Robert Paulson!
This could be the re-birth of DASH, sometimes life throws these reality checks at us, takes away, and one must rebuild again. But this time, rebuild, stronger!
A perfect george
