the NY Daily News is reporting trouble in Roc-A-Fella land.
But things are really starting to heat up now.
A source told the paper, "Damon wants to be a baby Puffy . He's spending aimlessly on the company. He signed ODB against Jay-Z's consent. Jay has had enough. This has been brewing for years. Jay is reserved and cool. Damon is flashy. He's had liposuction twice."
Dash's spokeswoman also denies the Daily News report that Jay-Z's relationship with Beyonce Knowles is also contributing to the men's growing estrangement. "That's just not true," she says.
There are also reports that The two Roc-A-Fellas are said to be in the early stages of dividing up their mini-empire of music, fashion and movie production. Last year, Roc-A-Fella signed a four-year extension of its agreement with Island Def Jam, which distributes the label's artists, including Beanie Sigel, Cam'ron and Victoria (Posh) Beckham.
One website,reports that Def Jam's Lyor Cohen has sanctioned a plan that would allow Dash and Jay-Z to each have his own label and artists under the Roc-A-Fella umbrella.
We've learned that Jigga may want to develop artists with Steve Stoute, the former Universal Music executive who helped launch his "S. Carter Collection" sneaker line for Reebok, and is planning a black sneaker tied to "The Black Album," Jay's much talked about last CD, due in November.
