Damon Dash produced Paid in Full along with Harvey Weinstein and he slapped Weinstein during the production for “disrespecting women”.
There’s even a rap song about it called Once Upon a Time.
At the end of his verse, Cam raps :
"No disrespecting the ladies, word from my team
That’s the reason Dame smacked Harvey Weinstein
On the set of Paid In Full, y’all gave him hell about it."
Dash was quoted as follows.
“I know I made Paid in Full over there, and I know that him and I had a lot of aggressive interaction. And I know even culturally, like, my people would say things, like, I would see interviews with Wood Harris and with Just Blaze and all that, and they’d be like, “Oh, he yelled at Harvey Weinstein. He yelled at the Weinsteins.” But the bottom line is, like, when I look at somebody treat other people wrong, I can’t just look the other way. And any opportunity I get, I know I’m strong, but I’m always gonna make them suffer for the people that aren’t strong enough.”
“I saw him in Cannes and I snatched his bitch— he had a girl and I knew her, so I said ‘Give me her.’ He was pissed"
I view it more as a financial instrument with unique properties. You don’t necessarily have to use it as a day to day currency. But if you want something in your portfolio that is a hedge against inflation then it certainly has it’s place.
