In the wake of Lifetime’s Surviving R. Kelly, Dame Dash is now weighing in on the controversy surrounding the R&B crooner.

During a recent sit-down with Kenyatta Griggs, of Hip Hop Motivation, the rap mogul revealed that it was difficult for him to watch the series, because it triggered memories of his late girlfriend Aaliyah. 

According to Dash, while she was alive, the “One In A Million” star was unable to come to terms with the emotional trauma of her relationship with Kelly.

“I watched some of it yesterday, as much as I could tolerate,” Dash says.
