Jay Z Fights Legal Battle Against Damon Dash
Jay-Z and Damon Dash clash over the rights to Reasonable Doubt.
Legal strife rages between the former founders of Roc-A-Fella Records. Damon claims to own 1/3 of the album along with Jay-Z and Kareem “Biggs” Burke. He tried to sell the rights in June of 2021. Meanwhile, Jay Z stepped in. Jay and his lawyers stopped the auction. He filed a lawsuit against Damon Dash.
According to AllHipHop, the famous rapper and legal team own and control Damon’s only Reasonable Doubt entity, RAF, Inc. They claimed to be shareholders of the company. They argued that Damon had no right to sell the company’s assets. However, the negotiations remained inconclusive.
“RAF, Inc. and Defendant Damon Dash have reached an impasse and are unable, at this time, to reach a stipulation to resolve their claims and counterclaims,” Jay-Z’s lawyer Alex Spiro revealed.
According to Alex Spiro, Damon acknowledged the “lack of ownership interest in Reasonable Doubt.”
The legal battle will continue in court in June.
Snoop Dogg Says Jay Z Was First Into Dressing Room
Snoop Dogg recently did an interview with TIDAL. He spoke about those moments with Elliott Wilson, Executive Vice President of Content.
“When I got home and watched it on playback, I thought it was the greatest shit ever,” he said. “Being there, it felt like the greatest concert of all time. When I first came out, that meant a lot to me that Dre would let me come out first. The first vocal was me.
“To let me kick that off and have enough confidence in the D-O Double to say, ‘OK. The biggest moment of my career, I trust the D-O Double. He’s going to lead off, and then he’s going to come back at the end of the ninth inning.’ You’ve got to walk the dog back out … boom boom boom, and have all the Crip Walkin’. You know what I’m saying? It’s the West.”
