The mogul sits down with Dr. Jenn to dive deep into some personal subjects.

Dame admits to Dr. Jenn that the loss of Aaliyah and his mother turned him into an “animal.”

“Everything that scares me is losing people I love and everything that I’ve really loved, as it relates to females, I’ve lost,” the mogul shares with Dr. Jenn during the episode.
