Dame Dash claims Drake may have interests in buying his stake in Roc-A-Fella Records.
As AFROTECH™ previously reported, Dame Dash is in the midst of having his shares sold after an $800,000 judgement was placed on him in regard to a copyright infringement and defamation of character lawsuit.
With a chance to invest in Roc-A-Fella Records, the interest is high as it brings partial ownership of the copyright to Jay-Z’s debut album, “Reasonable Doubt.”
“Based on feedback I have received from interested parties (and I can’t mention names), this auction will likely bring out many household names in the sports and entertainment industries as well as those interested in a piece of a historically significant company, which holds an interest in a timeless debut album,” Dame Dash’s attorney Natraj Bhushan explained to Billboard.
“Drake hollered at me through DM and made an offer, and I’m not quite sure what happened, but I thought that he had got with Jay or something,” he said on the show. “But it would be a good time to close, but if you got it, you know. I wouldn’t do it if you don’t got it… If you want to own ‘Reasonable Doubt,’ if you want to own a third of it [and] have a say at the board meetings for at least the next seven years and make money off of it, I would give these chains.”
To actually purchase Dame Dash’s stake it could cost a pretty penny. It is reportedly worth $1.2 million, which amounts to 33% of the label’s shares.
Dame Dash has been looking to sweeten the deal since the announcement of the auction was released. As AFROTECH™ previously reported, for an offer over $10 million, he says the deal will include a Roc-A-Fella grill and an original Roc-A-Fella chain.
“‘Cause I was the only one that gave out Roc-A-Fella chains when Roc-A-Fella really existed,” he explained, according to Complex. “If I don’t give you the chain it’s not a legit Roc-A-Fella chain. You get one of these, this is legit. This is the old-school one from off my neck. You know like when I took one off my neck and gave one to Kanye, Cam’ron, all that.”
