Dame Dash Calls Having One Wife “Gay” in a Resurfaced Interview — and the Internet Is Split
Dame Dash is going viral again — and this time it’s over something he said about marriage.
In a sit-down with Sommer Hill on her Sommer Time podcast, recorded about a month ago, the Roc-A-Fella co-founder was asked about monogamy. His answer is now everywhere after The Art of Dialogue reposted the clip on X on November 11, with HotNewHipHop, WorldStar and No Jumper all running it the same day.
Here is what Dash said, in his own words: “A one wife situation is gay. Europeans are notoriously gay. The Spartans were gay, the Greeks were gay, Alexander the Great was gay, Hitler was super-gay.”
He argued that monogamy is a European tradition being pushed on other cultures, and that most of the world does it differently. “If the rest of the world has more than one wife, eighty percent,” he said, “I’m going with my Black brothers.”
To be clear: those history claims are Dame’s take, delivered the way Dame delivers everything — loud, certain, and built to start an argument. The internet wasted no time having that argument. Plenty of people are laughing it off as vintage Dame trolling. Plenty of others are calling the remarks ignorant and offensive. And more than a few are pointing out that the examples he reached for don’t exactly help his case.
It’s also the second week in a row Dash has owned the timeline. Days ago, Jermaine Dupri was laughing in the comments after Dash told a story about once asking him for Janet Jackson’s number while the two were dating. Before that came headlines about his life rights being sold for $550,000 amid his bankruptcies. Every few days, there’s another clip, another quote, another round of everybody talking about Dame Dash.
Which raises the real question: is Dame Dash saying out loud what a lot of men quietly think — or is this just a man chasing a viral moment at this point?
