Despite a 2022 court decision, Dame Dash appears to be expressing interest in JAY-Z’s debut record.
On Friday, July 19, the troubled co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records uploaded a picture of Hova’s debut album, Reasonable Doubt, along with a promotional image of the two of them with Kareem “Biggs” Burke, the label’s third founder.
Dame stated in the post: “This trash is for sale 1/3… simply sincere questions.
According to the 2022 court decision, Dash was able to sell his one-third share in the company, but he was not authorized to sell any portion of JAY’s iconic debut without Roc-A-Fella’s consent.
“As between the Parties, RAF, Inc. [Roc-A-Fella Records] owns all rights to the album Reasonable Doubt, including its copyright. This Judgment shall prohibit the altering in any way, sale, assignment, pledging, encumbering, contracting with regard to, or in any way disposing of RAF, Inc.’s property interest in Reasonable Doubt, including its copyright, and including through any means, such as through an auction of a non-fungible token reflecting, referring, or directing to such interest, unless duly authorized by RAF, Inc.; provided, however, that nothing in this Judgment shall prohibit Dash from selling, assigning, pledging, encumbering, contracting with regard to, or in any way disposing of his one-third (1/3rd) ownership interest in RAF, Inc.
The legal dispute started when Dame announced her intention to sell off a portion of the album Reasonable Doubt in 2022 as a non-fungible token (NFT).
Eventually, the co-founder of Roc-A-Fella struck a deal with the label, as previously mentioned.
It’s unclear from Dame’s post whether he intends to sell all of his Roc-A-Fella shares or just a portion of Reasonable Doubt, which is prohibited until approved by the rapper.
Check out Dame’s post below:
Dame gave his long-standing problems with Hova a fresh perspective last month when he stated in an interview that he is willing to speak the truth about the rap tycoon in a manner that others aren’t.
The 53-year-old pondered his history with the “Encore” hitmaker in an interview footage that was posted by the Ugly Money Podcast. He also used a vivid metaphor to talk about their notorious falling out.
He started off by saying, “A lot of people who have maybe been mistreated by him are scared to speak up on what he did; I’m just not.”
Dash went on to compare Hov’s treatment of him in the business world to that of a drug dealer.
“If I strike an n-gga with a pack or any labor, and he flees from me, then what happens? I will never have enough positive things to say about that circumstance until I receive my money back, regardless of how much time has passed. Yes, we were OK, but what did you expect when he took off with ten birds, or kilograms of cocaine?
“And many of the people who say those things have never had to write checks, worked as hard, or had legal action brought against them by people at that caliber.”
