How many reasons (new and old) on why this break up happened
I also could have sworn dame said he wanted to
Sell the company anyway
He was tired of the music business and wanted to be home to be a dad
Jay did albums with a guy that āgrapedā his āgirlā
Jay have people around him that have that he canāt never be around (even tho those people was always there)
Jay ādid something with foxy but canāt say what but later recanted
But also sat on a stage and said he miss Jay and Biggs and he was wilding out because of baby girl passing
Its strange itās like dame donāt even know why or he delusional

lol at thinking that Jay needs Lyor to understand basic percentages.
Jay didnāt even have a label for years until he started Roc Nation. And heās still splitting money just with other people. And that business has lasted 16 years now, like twice as long as roc-a-fella, so it was obviously the right move.

Thereās missing pieces but Lyor is right to an extent. Even with Lyor giving him information about how much more Jay could make if he cuts off Dame (and Biggs), just out of loyalty and the fact that theyāre that close Jay wouldnāt have even gave it a serious thought.

Jay was tired of Dame decision making.
From bombarding Rockefeller records with the Philly nikkas and then Camron/dipset. Who pretty much was openly disrespecting him during that time.
Hov made a business decision

I understand Dipset but Hov didnāt like the Philly guys?

He didn't take any of them nikkas with him. He only took Kayne and Bleek
That right there says enough
Dame violated when Jay was reeling from Ether and went on vacation to clear his head and Dame signed Cam and Dipset behind his back.
Jay more than likely didnāt want his business and ultimate fate left in the hands of two other nikkas. So he did what he had to do to not only get out of that situation, but position HIMSELF as the Boss (President of Def Jam) as well as get access to his Masters (Generational wealth)
It was a no brainer as far as business decisions go. At the end of the day the only person you can rely upon to have YOUR best interest at heart is yourself. Cut out loud ass Dame and dead weight Biggs and take control of your own destiny.
It worked out for Jay, and now everybody EXCEPT Dame is back in the fold. Which means Dame is the problem

I think dislike is a strong word but at least some of the members did feel like he didn't care for them. When Oschino and Peedi Crakk went on Drink Champs, Oschino said he an epiphany one day when he realized Jay was never on any State Property track but he would be a feature on other people's songs and was like "damn, bul really don't mess with us like that".
To be fair he did take Peedi with him (well not really "take" him cause Peedi was already at Def Jam anyway) after Peedi thought going with Dame but Dame tried to lowball him, it's just that ultimately Peedi's heart wasn't in it like that and therefore Jigga stopped pushing him and he eventually had to move on.

Not true.
When he he left, he took Freeway, Young Gunz, and Peedi Crakk with him. Freeway is also currently with Roc Nation.
Jay was the reason most of the Philly cats were Roc in the first place according to them.
