Dame Dash Brushes Off The Rumors

The CEO Expresses His Indifference 09:00PM ET November 24, 2009 Contributor : Nadine Graham A Rocky Williform Company Dame Dash doesn't seem to be sweating much these days. Not his divorce from designer Rachel Roy, not his alleged foreclosures, and certainly not the murmurs from those he previously kept company with as Roc-A-Fella's head. He has newer projects in the works, like the Black Keys album that he's behind, BlakRoc. The album is slated for release this Friday, and apparently, Dame is too busy to be bothered with petty rumors. He told MTV News: "Y'all actually seen a lot of my tragedies," Dash said. "I know what real pain feels like. Y'all seen me cry. Always, big shout out to Aaliyah. I ain't forget that. I still feel that everyday. All this other stuff, because these people wanna sell papers and say things, I don't care about that. I don't defend myself. Say what you want. I actually prefer it at times. For people to think [I'm in ruins], so I could have some fun. People be knocking my fun all the time. I wish they could have fun."
