Roc-A-Fella Has 99 Problems W/ Dame
According to reports, Dash is 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)
