Dame Dash Roc-A-Fella Shares May Not Be As Desirable As They Seem
Dame Dash‘s stake in Roc-A-Fella Records is set to be auctioned off by the U.S. Marshal later this month, and though it includes JAY-Z‘s classic debut Reasonable Doubt, it appears that all that glitters isn’t actually gold.
As beforehand reported, Dame’s 33.3 % curiosity within the famed report label might be offered off at a public public sale in New York City on August 29. Proceeds from the sale might be used to make good on the $823k he owes to film producer Josh Weber for copyright infringement and defamation over the 2016 movie, Dear Frank.
However, TMZ has discovered that the sale is probably not as engaging because it sounds, because the purchaser will solely be a minority proprietor and don’t have any official say within the firm – as a result of all selections require a majority vote. The worst half, nevertheless, is that they’d solely be set to earn cash again from their shares for a restricted period of time.
“There’s also an expiration date on the master ownership for the company, which means revenue and the only asset doesn’t have many years left,” a supply instructed the outlet.
Earlier this yr, after a choose ordered Dame to promote his shares to make good on his aforementioned debt, each Jay and Biggs objected on the idea that firm bylaws mandate that the board of administrators should first approve the sale of any stakes within the imprint.
However, U.S. Magistrate Robert W. Lehrburger dominated that the previous exec’s one-third possession of Roc-A-Fella can, in reality, be seized to assist cowl the judgment since it’s his private property.
In his 15-page determination, Lehrburger blasted Jay and Biggs for making a no sell-off clause throughout a 2021 board assembly that Dame didn’t attend or vote for. He ordered Roc-A-Fella to ship Dame’s inventory certificates to the U.S. Marshals Service for an public sale in 180 days.
Jay and Biggs’ essential objection is much less about siding with Dame, nevertheless, and stems from considerations that an outsider should purchase the mental rights of Roc-A-Fella. To tackle the difficulty, Lehrburger stated, “They can participate in the auction and place the winning bid.”
