Benzino Says He Used Guns To Settle An Issue With Jay-Z & Damon Dash

by Daryl Nelson

Benzino spoke with the We In Miami Podcast about an intense situation with Jay-Z and Damon Dash back in the day.

Zino used to be the co-owner of The Source and said Jay and Dame came to the office upset one day. [Jump to the 44:50-mark]

"This one time, Jay and Dame was complaining about a cover situation, and they came up to The Source on some rah-rah sh*t,”Benzino recalled. “So I had n*ggas strapped up in different rooms. They didn’t know that ...  Sure enough, it starts getting loud, n*ggas start coming out them rooms, and they had to get up out of there."

He continued. "There was a few of them, I think maybe three or four. But there was at least seven of us. There was at least seven guns up in The Source ... Jay don’t get loud; it was Dame. They started getting loud with Dave [Mays] and then, you know, ‘Aight, enough is enough. That’s it. Y’all got to go.’ It’s nothing against Dame Dash. Respect to Dame but that happened.”

How much of that is cap, and how much really happened?
