2024 has only just begun, but already the news cycle in the hip-hop world has taken us on a rollercoaster. For the femcees, the drama between Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj, as well as a slightly less tense feud between Latto and Ice Spice has been at the centre of internet discourse. As for male artists, the Diddy scandal unearthed by Cassie continues to bring forth other damning allegations, meanwhile, Dame Dash is doing everything in his power to hold onto his Roc-A-Fella shares amid a time of financial strife.

Last week it was reported that the music executive would have to sell his stake in the company to pay off an $800K+ debt he owes. Now, sources are saying Cam'ron and Mase might be the new owners of those shares; these rumours were addressed during a new episode of It Is What It Is this week. When the rappers' co-host, Stat Baby, asked about the validity of the gossip, they couldn't help but giggle about the situation for some time. "Let's just say hypothetically, right?" Mase said with a grin while pulling money out of his coat pocket.

Did Cam'ron and Mase Buy Dame Dash's Shares in Roc-A-Fella?

In response to their unofficial confirmation, some hip-hop heads think this is the best move possible for Dash. "I mean, Dame ain't tryna seel it to Jay, so s**t, why not? I say ask for $3M and walk away knowing it's in good hands. If Cam and Mase acquire it, then it's win for them both 'cause now Cam with the ROC and Mase get a win 'cause of those jabs Hov took at 'em," one person wrote under @thehiphopwolf's post.

Dame Dash is in a tough spot, with upwards of $800K still owed to a film producer who's actively trying to get his money. Thankfully, Jay-Z and "Biggs" Burke are doing their part to keep his Roc-A-Fella shares in his name, though this rumoured deal has the potential to shake everything up.
