Damon Dash is being forced to sell his Roc-A-Fella shares despite objections from his former friend and business partner, Jay-Z.

A New York judge has ordered Dash to hand over his shares of the famed hip-hop label for his alleged refusal to pay a $823K judgment to movie producer Josh Weber.

Dash lost Weber’s defamation and copyright infringement lawsuit following a dispute over the 2016 film “Dear Frank.”

Both Jay-Z and Roc-A-Fella co-owner Kareem “Biggs” Burke object to the ruling, citing the company bylaws that mandate approval from the board of directors to sell off shares.

However, U.S. Magistrate Robert W. Lehrburger put in a 15-page decision that shut down Jay-Z’s and Burke’s objections and ruled that Dash’s one-third ownership of Roc-A-Fella is personal property that can be seized to satisfy his judgment.

I'm sure Jay can just contact whomever purchases the rights and convince them to sell so it may work out in his favor.

This is actually the last thing they had that tied them all together.

Crazy how a judge can just over rule that

I makes sense sense.

If the judge agreed to it that would mean no personal property or income could be seized to satisfy a judgement which wouldn't be logical.

He only ruled that Dame's percentage of the company can be seized along with any other assets to satisfy a judgement he's unwilling to pay.

I do think it would have been fair to give Dame and Biggs first rights to purchase it though.

Oh OK I see, so basically he has to sell his 33.3% of reasonable doubt. Didn't Jay want to buy it at one point anyway and Dame didn't want to sale it?

Yeah but Dame was talking some slick shit and apparently trying to run up the price.

Then at one point he attempted to sell his shares as an NFT.

Although apparently Dame was right saying he could sell his shares based on this judgement.

Dame's pride got him again. He should have just sold it to Jay and would have come out better.

Yeah I wonder how much it is worth? It honestly may be best for him to sell either way although he's going to lose some to the judgement. I would imagine Jay will try to find some way to buy it ultimately.

Huh? They judge isn't interested in Jay or Biggs getting first rights to purchase.
He is interested in the plaintiff getting money owed.
Dame's shares have value. Jay and Biggs gonna have a new partner.
If I was that dude I would NEVER sell. I would keep it until they gave me a 100 million. Hahahaha.

I doubt it's worth much honestly since the only asset is Reasonable Doubt which is Jay's most acclaimed but lowest selling album.

I think it's more sentimental than anything.

The thing is people may just try to run up the price knowing Jay wants it.

He's not trying to sell. He was hoping one of the loser-ass partners bail him out for aesthetics. For the culture.

He couldn't sell his shares as an NFT. That is impossible.
Dame was just trying to sell an NFT and people confused shit all the way the fuck up.
Don't even repeat that shit. Cause it is false news.

Of course.

I'm saying they could have been given the option to match whatever the determined value or highest offer is.

Also, dude better sell since I don't think it's worth as much as people think and could even become worth less as time goes on.

Dame overplayed his hand and has no lost ownership. Dude better not be dumb and end up with nothing by doing the same.

Jay Z and Kareem object? Who the hell do they think they are? Either cut the check or mind your business.
No in the bylaws of company structure, there are rules for how shares are handled and sold.
They have every single right to object. It is their property. They agreed upon no outside owners without approval of all members. (This is standard)
So the judge is doing some bullshit and not respecting this corporate entity.

Dame's debts should be handled OUTSIDE of his ownership of Rocafella which he shares with other people.

I'm not sure if that matters when you consider the artist and passage of time. Obviously it's a long term investment though, but it could be worth a lot.

Dame was himself refuting this and stated the bylaws regarding his ability to sell his shares were changed after Biggs and Jay called a meeting to implement this that he was never informed of.

This may or may not be true but it could have been a factor in the judges ruling.

Well yes. He needs to get his finances in order.
I would imagine he made enough in his lifetime to invest in mutual funds/index funds and have income coming in from interest and dividends.

I am NOT even gonna talk about risks like Real Estate, Restaurants, Inventions, Streaming, Movies etc

Shit he can direct music videos or tv sitcoms!! Earn a weekly check.

He is a purveyor of women and he had children and they spared no expense.

He should have "played the role" after Rocafella ended and accepted a desk job at Sony or Universal or Motown ...

But he doesn't play well with others in an industry where you NEED to play the role.

Yeah typically these people from Harlem love to pump fake.
I think he had someone put a label on a bottle and told people he was selling motor oil.
Baby from Cash Money but a oil rig tattoo on his head didn't he? This was before the big red star.
Evidently his Bronald Oil company didn't make it.
