Lupe Fiasco Urges Drake to Purchase Dame Dash’s Stake in JAY-Z’s ‘Reasonable Doubt’

Lupe Fiasco has suggested that Drake would be an ideal candidate to purchase Dame Dash’s one-third stake in JAY-Z’s acclaimed debut album, Reasonable Doubt. The ongoing tensions between Dash and JAY-Z have been well-documented, particularly after Dash’s attempt to sell his stake as an NFT in 2022 was blocked by a federal judge. Although he couldn’t sell it as an NFT, court rulings clarified that Dash could sell his stake in Roc-A-Fella Records, and he recently announced on social media that he is looking for serious inquiries regarding the sale.

Fiasco’s comment about Drake potentially buying Dash’s share was made in a since-deleted Instagram post, but it elicited mixed reactions from fans. Many expressed concerns about the appropriateness of Drake acquiring such a significant piece of hip-hop history, especially given his ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar. Recently, Drake has been in the spotlight for his acquisitions of hip-hop memorabilia, including Pharrell’s jewelry and Tupac’s ring, which some fans view as provocative in light of his rivalry with Lamar.

Lamar has responded to Drake’s actions in his diss track “Not Like Us,” where he criticizes Drake’s collection of hip-hop artifacts, referring to him as a “colonizer.” In turn, Drake fired back in his song “Family Matters,” challenging Lamar’s stance and suggesting that he could earn respect from Lamar if he sold the Tupac ring to a more fitting representative from the West Coast.

The conversation around Dash’s stake and Fiasco’s comments have reignited discussions about ownership and legacy in hip-hop, highlighting the complexities of relationships within the industry.
