Damon Dash provided an introduction for Kanye West as he received the 2015 BET Honors Visionary award earlier tonight. The awards air on BET February 23rd. Some in attendance stated his speech was awkward. Damon Dash was the one who believed in Kanye but when the Roc broke up Mr. West ended up on Jay Z’s side.
You can see some reactions to the introduction below.
"My history with Kanye is I didn't respect him as a rapper because I was around the greatest rappers….but he has courage." -Dame Dash

They say white girls go out and get a rich black dude. But my wife dated broke black dudes. So it's not about the money – Kanye #BETHonors
