Nick Cannon's been releasing short clips of his podcast "Cannon's Class" on Instagram over the past few days. The first episode with Dame Dash was published earlier today. Cannon shared a clip of the two discussing Aaliyah's relationship with R. Kelly yesterday, but in the full episode, Cannon attempted to ask Dash about Jay-Z's relationship with Foxy Brown.

There have been rumors floating around for a while about Jay-Z and Foxy Brown having a relationship when she was underage. Cannon attempted to get some answers from Dash about Foxy Brown's age when she got signed. “I wasn’t paying attention to Foxy Brown … I didn’t sign Foxy Brown," he told Nick Cannon. When Cannon said that he thought Brown was 16 when she signed to Jay-Z, Dash quickly fired back, telling Cannon to say what's on his mind.

"I thought Foxy was 16, that's all I'm sayin'," Cannon said. He later said that he thought there was "something between her and Jay."

Dash told Cannon, "It sounds like you have a question for Jay. Ask him." Adding, "You keep asking me questions y'all want to ask him 'cause he ain't here. Ask him, I ain't got shit to do with that and I don't even know nothing about that."

Peep the clip and full episode below.
