Dame Dash Exposes Truth In NFT War
According to Dame, JAY tried to buy his share of Roc-A-Fella songs for an unbelievable unreasonable price. The offer has forced him to continue looking for suitable buyers despite facing legal heat from the Roc.
Dash tells us the lawsuit is full of inaccuracies, and it’s not the album he’s trying to sell … it’s his ENTIRE stake in Roc-A-Fella!!! In fact, Dash claims as recently as March of this year, Jay-Z attempted to buy his 1/3 share of RAF at, “a price I deemed unacceptable” … so he’s looking for a buyer on his own. If he comes to an agreement with someone, Dash says, “Under the terms of the deal with a potential buyer, the buyer would buy my share of Roc a Fella Records and Jay-Z will have exclusive administration rights.” (TMZ)
According to initial reports, Dash was doing the most by trying to secure a sale courtesy of a non-fungible token (NFT) of JAY’s 1996 Reasonable Doubt debut album. The Roc believes Dame doesn’t have the right to mint the LP because it owns it.
According to the docs — filed by powerhouse attorney Alex Spiro — Damon planned to sell the album as an NFT at a since-canceled auction, but the company is worried DD will just try to find another platform to hold the auction. In the suit, RAF claims Damon is “frantically scouting for another venue to make the sale” and believes DD is still looking to cash in ASAP on the recent NFT craze. RAF’s asking a court to step in and stop Damon from going through with the auction and it wants Dash to turn over any NFTs of “Reasonable Doubt” he may have already minted. (TMZ)
