In a recent podcast appearance, Dame Dash opened up about his relationship with the late singer Aaliyah and his thoughts on the R. Kelly situation. Dash made it clear that he firmly believes Kelly deserves his current prison sentence for grooming Aaliyah and knows firsthand what he did to her. Not only did Dash express disappointment in Jay-Z for collaborating with Kelly despite being aware of the abuse, but he also revealed that Aaliyah herself had asked him to “leave it alone” when he had tried to intervene.
The seriousness of the allegations is evident, as even R. Kelly’s former personal assistant admitted to manipulating legal documents to falsely indicate Aaliyah’s age during their alleged marriage. Currently serving a 30-year sentence for child sex crimes, racketeering, and sex trafficking, Kelly’s actions have had far-reaching consequences that are finally coming to light. “I think he’s where he belongs,” Dame Dash told the “That’s F***ed Up” podcast. “I know Aaliyah, so I know what he did, I can’t be objective about that, you know what I’m saying? But he definitely seemed like he needed some help.”

Dame Dash’s unwavering belief in the allegations against R. Kelly showcases the gravity of the situation surrounding Aaliyah’s life. Speaking on the podcast, Dash not only affirmed Kelly’s place in prison but also emphasized his personal knowledge of what Kelly allegedly did to Aaliyah. Despite the late singer’s request for him to stay out of it, Dash expressed his disappointment in Jay-Z for continuing to work with Kelly despite being aware of the allegations. Additionally, Dash revealed that Aaliyah had asked that any profits from their collaborative projects be donated to her foundation, further highlighting her desire to distance herself from Kelly and his actions. The controversy surrounding their alleged marriage, which was later annulled, adds another layer of complexity to the situation.

His unequivocal belief in the accusations is a testament to the severity of the situation. Dash’s firsthand knowledge of what Kelly did to Aaliyah only strengthens his conviction that Kelly belongs in prison.
