Who is Damon Dash?

Damon Dash is an American businessman known for his roles in Roc-A-Fella Records, Rocawear clothing and DD172, a nightclub. Dash was formerly Jay-Z's manager and business partner at Roc-a-Fella Records, and in 1999, he organized a tour for Jay-Z which made $19 million. However, their relationship soured as a result of two subsequent events. The first was when Roc-A-Fella Records was purchased by Def Jam Recordings in 2004, after which Jay-Z agreed to take a job as Def Jam's president. Then, in the fall of 2005, Jay-Z bought Dash out of his stake in Rocawear.
