Roc-A-Fella to Rock Bottom? Dame Dash Loses His Companies and Copyrights to Pay $800,000 Debt

According to a report published by AllHipHop.com on Wednesday (June 11), Dame Dash failed to pay $823,284 in damages awarded to filmmaker Josh Webber in 2022 stemming from a defamation and copyright infringement lawsuit in 2019. As a result, Dame is being forced to part ways with major assets, including various copyrights and even his film company, among other businesses.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert W. Lehrburger issued a ruling on Tuesday (June 9) requiring Dash and his company, Poppington LLC, to hand over full ownership of Bluroc LLC, Blakroc LLC and Dash Films Inc. Dame will also fork over any interests in companies like 1996 Songs LLC, Lebanon Improvements LLC and Ocean East Improvements LLC.

Copyrights to movies made by Dame and his umbrella company, Poppington, will also be surrendered to cover Dame's debt. The rights to films include those of Honor Up, Too Honorable, We Went to... China and Welcome to Blackroc.
