More Assets Could Be Sold Off as Filmmaker Seeks Further Compensation
Dame Dash‘s stake in Roc-A-Fella Records was recently auctioned off to satisfy a massive debt – but it wasn’t enough, so he may be seeing more of his assets hit the auction block shortly.
As previously reported, Dame’s 33.3 percent interest in the famed record label was recently sold off at a public auction to collect the $823k he owes to movie producer Josh Webber for copyright infringement and defamation over the 2016 film Dear Frank.
However, he also owed $193k in back child support and faced a lawsuit filed by photographer Monique Bunn, another by a writer named Edwyna Brooks, and a whopping $8 million tax debt to the state of New York.
An anonymous New York state government employee placed the winning $1 million bid for the shares. The bid covered the back child support, with the rest going toward the back taxes. This means that the Dear Frank lawsuit wasn’t settled at all, and now the team behind it is looking to come for more.
According to documents first spotted by AllHipHop and viewed by HipHopDX, Josh Webber and his lawyer, Christopher Brown, have filed a request seeking ownership documents from the embattled mogul. They hope to get an order that forces Dame to deliver his media company, Poppington, LLC, and/or copyrights to films he produced to the United States Marshal.
A judge has yet to rule on the matter.
