Let’s get back to laughing at Bam, shall we?
Bam has been hanging out with his “friend” (a guy who was shoehorned into a few episodes of Viva La Bam), Damon Dash. Damon, like Bam, found massive success in the late 90s and early 2000s being credited as one of the co-founder of Roc-a-Fella Records. He also helped kick off the Rocawear brand (goyslop brand like Abercrombie and Fitch except for black people).
You probably don’t know much about Damon, but you have most certainly heard about his business partner, Jay-Z. Defunct now, but their record label was responsible for getting the careers of rappers like Cam’ron and Kanye West boosted into the mainstream.
So, what happened? Dame returned to his roots and ended up having multiple kids out of wedlock and started to beat the shit out of his various baby mommas, as one does. Rocawear is no longer relevant, and the record label has been defunct since 2011. Jay-Z and other business partners have long shed their skin of Dame and want nothing to do with him. He’s a bad person to be associated with. He openly beats women and owes millions in child support. Had he any “talent”, he’d be a rapper himself.
Dame decided it would be a great idea to release an NFT, in 2021, displaying the album cover of Reasonable Doubt, which is a record Jay-Z released under the Roc-A-Fella Records name. Obviously this didn’t go so well and he was issued a cease and desist.
I suppose Bam and his “friend” Dame have a lot in common. If they weren’t actually friends before, they can certainly bond on the fact that they forcefully severed all ties, multiple times, with former business partners that helped them rake in their shekels. They’re both deadbeat parents trying to bank on the success of their past long ago. Bam sells merchandise with the gay Heartogram shit on it, Dame tries to sell overpriced garbage bags to black people.
I’ve always been amused by how these Z-listers try to merge together for a brief pop in popularity. There was a period of time where I remember seeing Macaulay Culkin show up in Angry Video Game Nerd videos, and the entire reason behind it was because AVGN reviewed some of the Home Alone games ages ago, and they were both broke.
