Dame Dash Faces Foreclosure

by reign on August 20th, 2008

http://media.defsounds.com/uploads/assets/2468/19/9887/asset.jpgRap mogul Dame Dash is being sued by Eastern Savings Bank for not making his monthly payments on his 2 NY apartments. The Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit filed says Dame has failed to make the $78,504 monthly payment required by him. He also faces over $10,000 in late fees on the $7.3 million mortgage.

The lawsuit also cites a number of judgments against Dash, including a $2 million tax bill owed to the state of New York, $100,000 in federal taxes and $95,000 in unpaid rent to house the offices of Damon Dash Enterprises.

Representatives for Dash have yet to issue any kind of statement.

Lol did Jay-Z tell Damon to buy a place with a monthly bill of $79,000??? I think not…I have no sympathy for someone who’s mortgage is more than the average americans combined income!!!!!!!

80,000 a month???? Omg 80,000×12 is 1,600,000 a year for a place he never sleeps in? This is bad money management…Lol I can’t wait to have a place that’s $3000 a month…Now that’s a big crib…80,000 a month, i can’t comprehend.

I hope the nigga get his doe back up, I knew something was wrong when took that bet show, he was to cool for that so he must not have been busy then. And at the same time when you get doe like that there is absoulutely no logical reason to get a mortgage on yo cribs. the interest is bananas you just got to cop it or drop it

Most wealthy don’t pay cash out right for homes. It doesn’t make business sense. The interest on these homes is tax deductible, depending on the use the mortgage itself can be tax decuctible. Which do you think will make more money: A. 7 mil home paid in cash B. 1 mil down on a 7 mil home and 6 mil invested in other business ventures or the stock market? The answer is B if the person is smart enough to invest correctly.

S, he tried to go to another outlet by directin and producin movies but black people don’t run tha films so its more of a give business than a take. Jay is way ahead of this guy in life, he’s settled down and he has several businesses and is selling them while their still intaking money. Dame is still tha kinda of person who parties everyday and doesn’t take life seriously, heneeds to get his shit together.

Nobody really knows why niggas broke up. All I know is that there comes a time when niggas got to make business decisions. Jay obviously saw an opening and he went for it. Just because me and somebody peoples, doesn’t mean I want to work with them forever, even if we do work together, that doesn’t mean I want you on every business venture.

The Cakeaholic himself. Dame used to get on my nerves with all that flaunting and what not. Interesting how these times have come on him recently. I wish him the best.


Although I don;t think he’s bad off, It’ sinteresting how the Flaunting era of The Roc and Dipset, turned so fast or seems to have tunred on those same entities.

Be careful how you pop it, as it’s not promised to any of us.

ya gotta understand that its a cut throat bizz. rocafella was a joint venture between the 3(dame,jay,biggs) they all needed each other to make it work. just in this profession youre product has a voice and a mind of its own and it could move on without the others. guess jay needed the progression rather than eat the fruits of his labor.

FOR ALL OF YALL SAYIN DAME IS STUPID TO HAVE A MORTGAGE YOU ALL MISUNDERSTAND BIG MONEY. IM A HOMEOWNER I KNOW . DAME COULDVE PAID CASH FOR THE JOINTS BUT BIENG AS THOUGH HES IN A COMPLETELY DIFFRENT TAX BRACKET DEN MOST ON HERE HE HAS TO CLAIM AS MANY LOSSES AS POSSIBLE. SO ANY HALFWAY DECENT ACCOUNTANT WITH A CLIENT WITH THAT TYPE OF BANK WILL TELL THEM O GET A SMALL MORTGAGE ON THE HOUSE COS COMPARED TO DA MONEY THEY MAKIN OR AT LEAST SHOWING THEY CAN COUNT THAT AS A LOSS AND KEEP THAT CASH IN THERE POCKET SO TO SPEAK. AND IT AINT BECAUSE HE AINT THE ULTIMATE HUSTLER OR NONE OF DAT SHIT. EVERY HUSTLER TAKES A LOSS SOMETIMES. FROM THE HAND TO HAND NICKEL AND DIME HUSTLER TO DONALD TRUMP ESPECIALLY IN TODAY’S ECONOMY. SHIT.

It’s hard to make money when the nigga you helped reach their potential blackballs you once you get them there..Dame ain’t the only nigga Jay has done like this..He uses the niggaz around him like broads..Once they get him to a certain level he cuts them off then blackballs them so people can’t really see who was making the moves..I ain’t taking sides i’m just stating facts..Anyone who has really followed Jay’s career know how he do those around him but he’s a smart dude..He learn what he needs to learn before he cuts them off..Just remember back when Jay was rapping fast and all the other shit he was a nobody..I don’t give a fuck what nobody say that man owe a lot of people and at the top of that list is Jaz-O, Dame and Biggs..Everything comes full circle though so it’s only a matter of time..

evildreabout 1 year ago
This is the most niggerish shit I have heard in awhile.Dame and Biggs became Multi-Millionaires off of Jay-Z work.They have no part in making his albums (Jay-Z and The Producers did), but they benefited from those albums.When Rocafella records got sign to Def Jam, Lyor Cohen was making all the big promotion decision for Hovs album marketing, so he did more than Dame and Biggz.Rocawear sold only because of Jay-Z promoting, which was Dame Dash only business skill.Using Jay-Z to pitch products to so the products can sell.Over the time Dame Dash was C.E.O. of rocafella, he sign many more failed acts (Lil Red,Lisa Wray,S.O.S,M.O.P.) than he sign sucessful acts and Rocafella Films was a joke.

So why should Jay-Z have carry any of that dead weight? And done say something is “dact” unless you actually have proof, because without it you are just talking out of your ass.

ravenh20about 1 year ago
Nigga you sound so stupid! Jay-Z music is what brought attention to RocAfella! There’s no RocAFella without Jay-Z he made RocAFella what it is! I do agree that Dame & Biggs helped him but bottom line is Jay-Z had to be sold in order for their name to make it where it is today! And Jay-Z had the honor to do that but u can’t say his career is what it is because of them because they swagger jacked people too!!!! Especially Dame Dash! Jaz-O is ungrateful because regardless of another man’s success u gotta make it happen for yourself! And Jay-Z helped him out by putting him on that “Nigga What nigga Who” track! It was up to him to sell his self after that! Hova doing like any other black man or woman he’s learning the in’s & out’s of business and sometimes it’s not safe to keep comfortable people around your money! Dame Dash got too comfortable

I feel bad for Dame…why you ask? Well he believed in Jay-Z when no one did. He had J’s back before his deal, during his deal and after! He seams loyal to me. Most people are not loyal without reason. Obviously the paychecks and lavish lifestyle would keep anyone close to you, but he is a business man as well. Dame owns companies and has other endeavors. We have heard similar stories with hip hop artists a thousand times, and then we see them in a new Lambo. Broke people know what broke is, millionairs consider broke, when they only have 10 million in the bank! Its a whole different level. I can’t relate, becuase im far from rich, but i do have a brain. Im sure if Dame needed cash like that, Jay-Z would be there to help. All it takes is a phone call….
