Dame Dash Says JAY-Z Was “Morally Wrong” For Making ‘Best Of Both Worlds’ Album With R. Kelly
Damon Dash has made headlines by distancing himself from the Best of Both Worlds album by JAY-Z and R. Kelly, citing moral objections to the collaboration.
On Monday (Oct. 7), in an interview on the American Nu Network YouTube channel, Dash reflected on the project, which was released in 2002 and paired two of the biggest names in music at the time. Despite the significance of the album, Dash’s latest comments reiterate a deeper discontent with the circumstances surrounding it.
According to Dash, who was dating late R&B star Aaliyah, who had a sexual relationship with Kelly as a minor, at the time, says Kelly’s checkered past and reputation made him leery of involving himself in the crooner and JAY’s joint album.
