"I feel like now me and 50 should have a battle" — Dame Dash challenges 50 Cent to a "CEO War"

Dame Dash recently clapped back at 50 Cent's comments regarding him having no money when the latter appeared on the September 2 episode of Million Dollaz Worth Of Game podcast. On September 4, the Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder took to Instagram to challenge Fiddy to a financial duel regarding their television networks.

"Somebody definitely sent me that cute s**t 50 said about me not having no money. I feel like now me and 50 should have a battle, and no gangster s**t.... That would be whack and corny for the culture," Dash said.

Dame Dash proposed something he called a "CEO War." He said that since he and 50 Cent owned television networks, American Nu and 50 Cent Action TV, respectively, they could compete by releasing an original American movie on each network and seeing which performed better.

In addition to that, he also urged Fiddy to prove his wealth by buying his 33% share of Roc-A-Fella Records, the record label he co-founded with Jay-Z and Kareem Burke in 1994. His share of the company has been on auction, with no prospective buyer at the time of this article.

"Where you at? It’s still for sale. The starting price was 1.2. Now it’s 3 million. And if you got it like you say it, buy it. I challenge you," Dame Dash said.

50 Cent recalled a conversation with Dame Dash regarding his million-dollar record deal

Dame Dash's zeal to compete with 50 Cent came at the heels of the latter's podcast interview with Gillie Da Kid and Wallace Peeples on the duo's latest episode of Million Dollaz Worth Of Game.

During the podcast, Fiddy recalled a conversation with Dame Dash regarding his million-dollar record deal with Eminem's Shady Records in 2002. The record deal came after 50 Cent released a song called How To Rob, in which he detailed how he would rob hip-hop stars, including Dash's partner Jay-Z.

Fiddy pointed out the irony of Dame Dash telling him his million-dollar deal was no money when the rapper was the one who had "no money now."

“The only person that pointed out that a million dollars was no money was Damon Dash, and he has no money now. “That ain’t no money. After you get a watch, a chain, you look out for the homies and you do this, that and the third… it’s nothing,"" Fiddy said.

50 Cent continued that the conversation rubbed him the wrong way, saying that $1 million was a lot of money to him back then and made him feel like he hit the lottery.

50 Cent's record deal led to the release of Get Rich or Die Tryin', his studio album, in 2003. The album was a commercial success, selling 800K copies in its first week.

Dame Dash's breakdown of a million-dollar record deal for MTV2: Hip Hop Dollars documentary showed the rapper explaining how an artist barely profited from a million-dollar deal.

“What a million dollars is to a first-time rapper. First off, it’s taxed half. So that’s 500,000 dollars, right then and there, boom, so now you only have 500,000 dollars. First thing you gotta do is get a nice car. There’s 100,000, now you got 4 left," Dame Dash said.

He said that jewelry expenditure would amount to another $100K loss, leaving the artist with $300K. Dash added that the $300K would be spent factoring in a place to live, paying monthly bills and overhead expenses, looking after the people on your team, etc., leaving the artist with virtually no money.
