Lemonade is still a hot topic for some and the rumors around the album haven’t died down. Pretty much anyone who has ever been connected to Beyoncé or Jay Z has been dragged into the hoopla.
Damon Dash recently spoke with Access Hollywood Live and told host Kit Hoover and guest co-host Arsenio Hall that initially the rumors didn’t bother him. Despite his ex-wife Rachel Roy — who’s rumored to be Becky with the good hair — being dragged by the BeyHive, Dash said he wasn’t bothered by all the mess until people started attacking his daughters.
Rachel Roy Releases Statement, Isn’t ‘Becky with the Good Hair’
“The only issue I had is them putting pressure on my children. And for me it’s the history between me and Jay and me being his partner at the time in Roc-A-Fella and Rocawear and all that and his best friend. Of course on a human level, it would bother me.”
Dash continued by condemning bullying, specifically when it comes to children. “The worst disrespect of all time is to disrespect someone’s children. The way I was feeling about it, is that anyone who would harass a child is a coward. I have been in rap for a while but I have never had anyone disrespect my child.”
