DAMON DASH - DASH'S MONEY WORRIES

DASH'S MONEY WORRIES

Hip-hop mogul DAMON DASH insists there is no money to be made in the rap industry despite its high-spending 'bling' reputation. The former head and co-founder of the Roc-A-Fella Records has turned to creating trainers and designer suits to fund his superstar lifestyle. Dash also has stakes in Tiret Watches and the Rachel Roy clothing line. He 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. "It's all about finding ways to make money off an upscale urban product. That's what I do. Period."
