Dame Dash: Is He Revolt TV’s Chairman? — Explosive Clash with Charlamagne on The Breakfast Club

By WorldWide Entertainment TV — Published Sep 16, 2025

Damon “Dame” Dash sparked headlines after claiming he was named Chairman of Revolt TV for one month and that he plans to bring content from his AmericaNu platform to the network. The announcement quickly became overshadowed by a tense, profanity-lined interview on The Breakfast Club, where Dash and host Charlamagne Tha God traded accusations and threats on air.Snapshot: Vibe first reported Dash’s one-month chairman role and his plans to place projects like a new Paid in Full docuseries on Revolt. Reports of the claim were followed by apparent pushback and denials from inside Revolt’s PR circle — creating confusion about whether the role is formal or merely proposed. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Timeline: How the Story Unfolded

  1. Announcement/Report: Industry outlets (including Vibe and other outlets) published that Dame Dash was named Revolt TV chairman on a short-term basis and would bring serialized projects to the network.
  2. Breakfast Club Interview: Dash appeared on The Breakfast Club to discuss the announcement, his upcoming projects, and other industry items. The conversation with Charlamagne turned combative, with Dash accusing Charlamagne of bias and at one point saying, “I’m thinking to myself, either you got a crush on this man or he’s paying you.” The interview included back-and-forth insults, references to Dash’s financial/legal situation, and a heated threat from Dash toward Charlamagne. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
  3. Revolt Pushback: Revolt’s PR — as reported through on-the-record comments relayed by a journalist in studio — reportedly denied that Dame Dash is the company’s chairman. Journalist Loren LoRosa said she spoke with Revolt’s lead publicist, who said Dash was not chairman. That denial fueled debate about the accuracy of Dash’s claims.
  4. Aftermath: Video clips and social posts from the interview spread quickly, with outlets recapping the verbal sparring and the unresolved question of Dash’s status at Revolt.

Key Quotes from the Interview


The interview produced several incendiary lines that circulated across social platforms:

  • On Revolt and his plans: Dash said he would place his projects (including a new Paid in Full docuseries) onto Revolt and framed the role as an opportunity to roll out content from his AmericaNu Network.
  • On Charlamagne’s coverage: Dash declared, “I’m thinking to myself, either you got a crush on this man or he’s paying you,” accusing Charlamagne of being overly favorable toward Jay-Z — a longtime figure connected to Dash’s history. That line has been widely quoted in clip recaps.
  • On the threat: According to multiple recaps, Dash at one point told Charlamagne, “I can punch you right in your face like a grown man and you won’t do sh*t,” a comment that visibly escalated the tension and nearly ended the interview early.

Note: These quotations are reported by multiple outlets that covered the interview and viral clips; the phrasing above follows those reports. See the sources cited below for video clips and full recaps.

So — Is Dame Dash Actually Revolt’s Chairman?

Short answer: Not definitively confirmed. While Vibe and several outlets reported Dash’s one-month appointment and his intention to syndicate AmericaNu content through Revolt, other credible reports quoting Revolt’s PR sources (via in-studio journalist Loren LoRosa) say the company has not officially named him chairman. That disconnect is the heart of the controversy: Dash’s public claim vs. Revolt’s apparent reluctance to confirm it.

Revolt’s ownership structure has changed in recent years (Sean “Diddy” Combs sold his stake; employees are reportedly a major shareholder group), which makes any leadership claim more sensitive and potentially complicated without a clear corporate announcement.

Why This Matters

Dame Dash is a polarizing figure whose business moves and public statements draw intense scrutiny. A formal partnership or leadership role at Revolt would be newsworthy because:

  • Revolt is a high-profile Black-owned music media outlet with cultural reach.
  • Dash has long claimed creative ownership over projects like Paid in Full, and a Revolt partnership could give him an immediate distribution platform.
  • Conflicting statements between a personality and a network create confusion for advertisers, partners, and audiences — and fuel viral confrontations like the one on The Breakfast Club.

What to Watch Next

  • Look for an official statement or press release from Revolt clarifying Dash’s title or role.
  • Watch for additional clips or a longer cut of the Breakfast Club interview (some outlets have posted extended versions).
  • Dame Dash or Revolt could provide documentation (contract, announcement) that would resolve the discrepancy — keep an eye on both parties’ verified accounts and trade press updates.
