Damon Dash has said that there's no money in hip-hop - and that he's had to look elsewhere in order to become very rich. The former Roc-A-Fella man has told the Independent On Sunday that he's had to set up other businesses in order to sustain his lifestyle.
Dash says: "The music business isn't so profitable, especially not hip-hop. I couldn't buy what I wanted to buy. I'm talking cooks and drivers. I got into clothes to make money. The people in this business all think they've made it because they're in charge of their little record labels. I'm like, this isn't even my main source of income. I already did this business - and I made movies and I designed clothes and I got my own vodka and my own Swiss watch maker."
On his cash-guzzling life-style, he added: "Not many people understand how important having a butler is. I need somebody to help me get everything I'm going to wear for the day all set up, know what I'm saying? You'd think it is easy, but I've got a lot to put together, accessory-wise, especially at night."
Well, I'm sure we can all relate to that. What? Oh no, we can't.
