True, but my argument still stands. Dame entire existence at this point is living off the brief fame of Rocafella and being the guy that put future Billionaire Jay Z on the map. After Jay Z moved on and up, Dame has not to been able to replicate that success on any level with any of his post Rocafella endeavors. Not to mention, dude seems to be struggling financially because his ego is much bigger than his wallet.
Dame is the equivalent of that dude Rudy. The guy had a tackle as a Notre Dame walk on, when Notre Dame was considered a powerhouse (or at least a sports media darling) . Dude made an entire career out of that one event, very similar to Dame and his long severed connection to Jay Z.
To be clear bosses can be open to partnerships, look at Jay Z and the NFL for example. However real bosses will do their homework before partnering up with anybody. Envy was destined to loose regardless because he's not willing to do the necessary homework before jumping in.
