Despite Curren$y and Damon Dash making amends, it looks like their history at DD172 is still making waves in the legal world. According to a recent report from AllHipHop, Dame Dash is suing his lawyer over a botched record deal that resulted in Spitta and other artists leaving his label.
Dash is suing lawyer Janis Shen for failing to complete the proper paperwork for an orally-stated record contract with Curren$y. The deal would have required Curren$y to release three albums under Dame’s BluRoc imprint – two Pilot Talk LPs and Muscle Car Chronicles – but the botched contract allowed the New Orleans rapper to jump ship to his current home Warner Music Group with his albums in tow.
According to the suit, the failed contract also lost Dash a distribution deal between BluRoc and Island/Def Jam, as well as rapper Stalley, who later singed with Maybach Music Group.
Dash is seeking $5 million as well as lawyer fees in the suit. DX will keep you updated.

Holy Shit!!! your a bad A&R anyways!
jayz?
is it that hard to proofread tho my nigga
Dame has a great eye for talent, just needs to tighten up his business….
tis a shame
Member the good ol days when Curren$y wore the roc chain long after jay bounced.
I wouldnt do it if I was Dame. What benefit is going to get from this. Why would I helped someone who left me. Deep down curren$y know he shouldnt have left. I thought they was friends. You leave your friend so quick. Im a curren$y fan but I been disappointed with his latest work. He still was getting money with Dame. Dame stuck his neck out for curren$y.
naw i think curren$y knew that was a sinking ship so he bailed when he had the chance
Real talk…shit’s business at the end of the day…friend?….fuck is that?…
No excuse 4 this! Dame has been in the game way tooo long and knows not to trust people as far as you can see them especially an artist/lawyer/record exec/hell the whole damn game!! What was he thinking?
