Jigga what? Jigga WHO?

With the Live Nation Deal looking as questionable as Kobe in the Finals, Dame might have one upped his former business partner.

Props to him and his wifey rockin that power couple steeze. Dash's boo came through when his Mogul Steeze was all but evaporated.

Props to a real Mogulette who can handle the rock when the Pringles are down and come thru for a Boss.

That's the wifey steeze all real Moguls should aspire for.
