Cam’ron wasted no time roasting Hip-Hop mogul Damon Dash after REVOLT CEO Detavio Samuels denied he was acting chairman as Dash had previously claimed.
In a statement written to the REVOLT team, obtained by The Shade Room, Samuels wrote, “Team, I know some of you might’ve caught Dame Dash’s interview on The Breakfast Club. To set the record straight: Dame Dash is a hip-hop pioneer with a proven track record as a creator.
“Yes, we’ve been in conversations about potential partnerships—things like licensing his shows and films to REVOLT. But there is no signed deal.”
He added, “He is not the chairman of our company. There is no acquisition path on the table. The quote from me in VIBE is completely fabricated. I never said any of that.”
The quote Samuels is referring to reads, “As the CEO of a media company dedicated to Hip Hop culture and the diverse creators and consumers who drive it, it made sense to do business with Dame.”
Cam’ron took the opportunity to hit below the belt with a joke about Dash’s teeth—or rather lack of.
“You can’t say he’s lying through his teeth, he ain’t got none,” he wrote in the Instagram comment section. “Lying thur ya gums his treacherous lol.”
Dash quickly refuted Samuels’ account and posted an Instagram post with his “receipts.” As he noted in the caption, “I hate to bring out receipts but @detavio give me a call, I never would’ve took the deal if there wasn’t a pathway to ownership.”
Dash included a text to Samuels in which he asks, “Also is there still a pathway to ownership,” and Samuels appeared to say “yes.”
Dash claimed he would serve as the network chairman of REVOLT TV for one month during an interview with The Breakfast Club on Tuesday (September 16). The 54-year-old Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder said. he was planning to hold the position for one month, during which REVOLT will simulcast 25 episodes of his podcast, Bosses Take Losses, and stream a large portion of his media catalog.
Dash co-founded Roc-A-Fella Records in 1994 alongside JAY-Z and Kareem “Biggs” Burke, helping to launch the careers of artists such as Freeway, Beanie Sigel, Memphis Bleek, Kanye West and Cam’ron.
REVOLT, meanwhile, was launched in 2013 by Diddy, who stepped down as chairman in November 2023 amid ongoing legal issues related to his RICO scandal. The network has since shifted to an employee-owned model.
