Dame Dash recently revealed that his split from Jay-Z was primarily due to the latter's collaboration with R. Kelly, particularly given R. Kelly's controversial marriage to Aaliyah when she was 15 years old.

In a candid interview with 'The Art of Dialogue,' Dash expressed his confusion and disappointment over Jay-Z's decision to work with R. Kelly, stating, "The fact that Jay was fucking with him is what used to blow my mind more than anything."

Dash confronted Jay-Z about the collaboration, questioning how he could work with someone who had married Aaliyah, Dash's former girlfriend, when she was underage. According to Dash, Jay-Z's response was dismissive: "He was like, 'yo I ain't have nothing to do with that.'"

This decision ultimately led to Dash's departure from Roc-A-Fella Records. "That right there was a bridge burned. [...] I left Roc-A-Fella. It wasn't that I got kicked out of Roc-A-Fella; I left Roc-A-Fella," Dash explained.

Recently, Dash's share in Jay-Z's album "Reasonable Doubt" sold at auction for $1 million. The proceeds will go toward settling his $8.7 million in back taxes, an $800,000 lawsuit settlement, and $145,000 in unpaid child support.

Meanwhile, Jay-Z is currently defending himself against allegations of sexual assault at a 2000 MTV Video Music Awards event, which he has strongly denied.
