In a revealing interview, artist and industry insider Wayno shared his thoughts on the legendary Roc-A-Fella breakup and the diverging paths of its core members—Jay-Z, Dame Dash, and Kanye West’s longtime collaborator Biggs. Wayno expressed surprise at Dame Dash’s financial downfall, noting Dame’s early ambition and visionary branding skills that helped shape Roc-A-Fella’s success. “Dame wasn’t like a music person; he was a branding person,” Wayno explained, emphasizing his role in crafting the Roc-A-Fella identity.
Reflecting on the split, Wayno compared it to a family breakup, describing the confusion and uncertainty that followed. While Jay-Z rose to billionaire status and Biggs has kept a lower profile despite some legal troubles, Dame’s recent financial struggles and lawsuits have made him a subject of ridicule, something Wayno hadn’t anticipated.
Wayno also recounted the lessons learned working alongside these key figures, acknowledging how their influence still shapes his own career today.
