The once very rich Dame Dash is now fighting to keep a roof over his head, losing more than just power in the rap industry.
According to NY Daily News, Dash claims that his mounting debt has once again reached the footsteps of his home and faces imminent eviction from a rented mansion in suburban Carmel, New York.
In a 5-page report Dash filed on Tuesday the former Roc-A-Fella Records head claims, “I am currently several months behind in paying my personal bills,” he wrote. “For instance, I am currently over $100,000 behind in rent for the only home in which I live and at risk of being evicted.”
Dame Dash lost a pair of multimillion-dollar Tribeca lofts to foreclosure in 2010, which included $7.3 million left on massive mortgages.
A 2004 split with his former wife Rachel Roy smacked Dash with a $20 million windfall and eventually left the 42-year-old facing hard financial times.
Court records also show that Dash lost numerous lawsuits filed by landlords, fashion designer Charlotte Ronson and a celebrity bodyguard firm.
According to Dash’s court filing, he faces possible criminal prosecution for not paying his New Jersey taxes. Documents show Dash also owes more than $2 million in state taxes to New York, and he admits to owing federal income taxes as well.
I told this nigga never make a hoe a housewife!!
Dear article writer: A “windfall” is when you get a bunch of money, not lose it.
Dame Dash deserves exactly what is happening. “Ballin’ out of control” and acting like a coon on stage and on the O’Reilly show is not how you find true success. He needs to go to black high schools around the country and speak on how “ballin” and “gettin paper” is a bunch of stupid nonsense. If he would’ve put down the Cristal, shoes, and Bentley’s and invested wisely his wealth would be growing and not gone. Seeing stuff like this makes me nauseous for so many reasons.
I thought i was the only one who noticed that shit. I was reading the article like damn how is he broke when he got a 20 mil windfall.
No wonder he put out Muscle Car Chronicles without Spitta’s permission. Dude is scrambling for promo/cash.
In this closing statement, I would like to describe my firsthand experience of running afoul of this system. Our schooling, which is where the personality begins to form in a social context, effectively ignores any particularities of the individual. There is no individual approach, no study of culture, of philosophy, of basic knowledge about civic society. Officially, these subjects do exist, but they are still taught according to the Soviet model. And as a result, we see the marginalization of contemporary art in the public consciousness, a lack of motivation for philosophical thought, and gender stereotyping. The concept of the human being as a citizen gets swept away into a distant corner.
Todays educational institutions teach people, from childhood, to live as automatons. Not to pose the crucial questions consistent with their age. They inculcate cruelty and intolerance of nonconformity. Beginning in childhood, we forget our freedom.
… Goodbye, BANG!
if you’re in debt you have no business owning nor renting a damn mansion. man wtf. get an apartment. live within your means.
While Jay-Z is living it up in Cuba…
if you’re in debt you have no business owning nor renting a damn mansion. man wtf. get an apartment. move in with a friend/family. live within your means. why do you need a mansion lol. celebrities kill me.
THANK YOU!! That’s exactly what i was saying. Niggas love to show off how much they have when they’re actually hurtin
I’m all for a nigga getting money and being successful and making moves, but the flashy flossing shit eventually is the downfall of the majority of these dudes. Everytime they up to them six and seven figures they wanna live like the white boys, them suits ain’t flossing they shit, niggas deserve the punishments, living lavish lifestyles they can’t even afford. Gotta respect some of the smart ones tho, 50 cent garbage and all, but he smart, his money in the bank, Ice Cube, Master P, don’t wanna get into none of that bullshit illuminati so not even gonna mention gay z or scruff daddy. Nigga could have been bought a house instead of renting a mansion, fo real. deuces.
WEST SIDE is the BEST SIDE!
You sound stupid when you write but there was a good point inside of all that garbled half-language. Cheers!
@hu
WHY ARE U EVEN ON A HIPHOP SITE WORRYING ABOUT GRAMMAR AND SHIT?? FUCKIN LAME….
^^^ So you have to come off sounding dumb as fuck just cause it’s a hip hop site?? That makes you stupid AND lame, FOH nigga
Hip hop for hood folk, you don’t like how I’m typin then FUCK YOU! Fuck off a hip hop site. To many faggots nowadays complaining ’bout everything. “Oh, he writes ghetto” don’t like it, like before FUCK YOU AND FUCK YOU MOMMA, stupid-ass white boys wanting to regulate a motherfucking genre they no shit about. We write how we speak, now eat a dick grammer police. WEST SIIIIDE!

Has a screen saver of Ru Paul
Dude is a piece of sht. a biploar ashole who deserves to be homeless. he treats ppl like sht all those years and karmas coming back finally. tiny little dude tryin to act all powerful and hard. if he was a REAL businessman he woulda stayed in business but he burnt all his bridges in the industry and is too hard to work with. ppl in the industry find that out youre blacklisted permanently. hopefully he ends up at mcd’s pushin out burgers cuz he def deserves all of it. from rich to poor lmaoooo moron
ayo Jay-Z damn you bitter
Everything said here is accurate. Whether you like it or not.
um no shit everything he said is correct. You obviously on VelvetApes nuts like it or not.
Motherfuckas getting butthurt. Let me guess Memphis Bleek is that you
Dude’s right. Dame treated people like shit and thought that Jay wouldn’t survive without him. Now Jay is balling in Cuba with a 500 Million net worth. Karma’s a bitch.
smh, Jay ain’t in Cuba, you could see him on the B’klyn Nets sideline.
look at them bevis uhhuhhuhuhhuuhhuhuhuh
Another example of “they shoulda never gave you niggas money!” This dude was making money hand over fist but all the waste spending is catching up to him.
Nigga should have signed to YMCMB where its members are financially sound.
fuck the trolls
learn how to rap and bring lyrics back
hahahahahah hahahahah hahahhaha

“Nigga, Dame, man, thats your man. You and Dame was mans and em. You and Dame used to be tighter than giraffe pussy and shit. You know your man having financial problems and shit. You number one on the Forbes list, nigga, you make 35 million and shit. Give a nigga a milli or sum”

this is some bullshit, you think he’d be so open about it…everything for a reason
Maybe Hov can give him a job clearing samples at Roc Nation.
this is what happens when you blow all your money..dont’ blame jayz..
I cant respect a man who rents a mansion. It makes NO SENSE to me. Ownership would have given him some WORTH.
People have been renting mansions for years, there are real estate companies that specialize in this. Know what you’re talking about before you speak about making sense.
Quadeer Shakur made plenty sense. Just because people have been renting mansions for years doesn’t mean it’s a good idea for someone in debt living beyond their means….DUMBASS!
yeah i don’t see why anyone would rent a mansion unless they were deluding themselves. itd be smarter to at least downsize if he’s gonna rent.
only dumb people rent houses
Why a fucking mansion? I get renting an apartment, maybe even a reasonably priced house with 3 or 4 bedrooms. But to be renting a mansion, and you owe money to Uncle Sam and every other Tom, Dick, and Harry on Earth is plain stupidity. Where the fuck is his financial advisor?
You all can stop dick riding anyday now… Dame Dash was the brains behind the Roc and was too strong headed and loyal to be controlled. Everybody was eating, moves were made to benefit the artists and execs, so it was all good. Therefore the powers that be went to the weak link in the chain, the rapper (who doesn’t know anything about business) and promised him everything if he would submit and do a few things for them. He agreed, did his partners dirty, had them blackballed, and was given the green light to get all that he has now. He was looked out for by the powers that be because they knew he would sell out his people…But according to y’all, that’s cool, and Dame and Biggs are to blame for their misfortunes….WAKE UP!! (P.S. I’d hate to have any of you clowns for friends and/or business partners…Oh and that BS Jay made up about just wanting Reasonable Doubt and leaving everything to them was bull…)
And who forced Dame to get contractually obligated to shit his pockets couldn’t handle? To even hint at Jay not knowing anything about business invalidates your position. Shut the fuck up.
i kind of agree with DA COMMANDA!
having said that though, you cannot be wearing AF 1s crepz (sneakers, to AMERICANS) only once, and then disgarding them.
that lifestyle of constant deglect will eventually leave you broke.
also, the way D.D. boyed off/ embarrassed KEVIN LILES on ‘BACKSTAGE’. that kind of behaviour WILL eventually get you blocked/ blackballed.
sad story, still!!!
Too much FLOSSING, Too much Sam Rossing…
Rossing, lol. It’s Sam Rothstein, dummy.
^^ Lol
I’m pretty sure he isn’t as broke as he would like some people to believe
ja rule can never go broke. he is bigger than money.
I remember seeing this dude on MTV throwing designer clothes away after wearing them for one day. He said he did that with the majority of his clothes and proceeded to throw brand new clothes in to the bin.
I THOUGHT THEY ALL DID THAT…
this is fuked up dame a real one got fuked over by gay z if jay dnt help dame out then personally ive gt no respect 4 the dude as hip hop fans u should all respect dame more than jay jay was the one who snaked dame and dame was the one who found and supported some off the artists we all know today a truly loyal man deserves respect unlike jay who has continued to do rappers dirty apart from ye and rihanna jay doesnt give a fuck about any off the artists at rockafella.
very insightfull, m guessing you know this from the time you spend with jay, Dame and the whole Rocafella family. shut the fuck up.
This coon deserves it. He was all about drowning the youth with bs. Kool G. Rap MOP Styles P all day. Curren$y got it smash right now though.
SO…YOU’RE CRYING OUT FOR JAY’S HELP ON THE NEWSPAPER OR WHAT???
OH no he’s gonna lose his vacation home in the mountains…wahhhh
I’m not Broke!!!
jay really fucked him over bad the least he could do is give him a mill
he gonna blame it all on his accountant
At least he admits this instead of acting like his old asshole self. Don’t diss Dame though, he is an influential part of hip-hop.
Taco Bell is hiring Damon.
not even
As long as Dame Dash has been in the music industry and as much money as he’s made, there is no reason for him to be in this position except one… BEING AN ASSHOLE. It’s well-documented that Dame conducted himself like an entitled, arrogant fuck during his heyday with Jay-Z and Roc-A-Fella, th key words being “with Jay-Z”. Once they split and he could no longer hide behind the talent and earning potential of the Roc’s biggest artist, the industry told him to go fuck himself. There is a lesson here: no matter how successful you become and how much you’re ballin’ right now, if you don’t have humility and aren’t humble enough for people to genuinely like you, you can get black-balled and lose it all quickly. #BeHumble
Damn, Dame. You used to be the shit, running Rocafella Records; now you ain’t shit.
Most people go through life comfortably earning significantly less than Dame made between 96-06. I have no sympathy whatsoever for him, he’s an idiot.

I’m calling you out bro, you officially need to stop posting under the beavis and butthead handle if you don’t even know who Cornholio is. You don’t know shit about Beavis and Butthead and you don’t know shit about Rap. GTFOH.
uhuhuhh
FUCK Y’ALL, JAY-Z DOESN’T OWE SHIT TO THIS BROKE ASS NIGGA. HE WAS WELL-OFF TOO AND NOW HE’S BROKE AND JAY-Z IS SHINING. JUST BECAUSE THEY STARTED BUSINESS TOGETHER DOESN’T MEAN THAT JAY HAS TO PAID HIS MILLION DOLLAR BILLS. HE WAS PROBABLY SPENDING MORE MONEY THAN HE COULD AFFORD AND NOW HE’S IN DEBT. SOMEBODY SHOULD HAVE LENT THESE NIGGAS A CALCULATOR.
You are right. He might not owe him anything, technically. But it’s important to know there would be no Jay-Z without Dame. No one wanted to sign Jay and he was even dropped by sub-labels 3 levels down from majors because no one thought Jay was hot. Dame went into to debt more than once and lost everything to the IRS trying to get the Roc off the ground, and his connections and working things is what got Jay producers, features,etc. Jay was trying to get signed 7-8 years with nothing, and then Dame put another few years working stuff to get Reasonable Doubt going. If Dame doesnt know the people he knows and gets them on it, and get that distribution deal, and then get the soundtrack deal for the single, where is Jay Z?
Don’t forget Stacey, but glad to see 2 other perspectives than the usual “ha! he’s broke, arrogant bitch” comments when they don’t even know this man beyond when he was entertaining them on camera.
^co-sign what itsdosentmatter said
That’s what happens when you spend your money on hoes, cars, chain, alcohol, and drugs.
I feel no sympathy for him. There are people in the rap game who made less than he did and are doing alright because they actually invested their money well.
This nigga so broke he threatened to sue Wikipedia. You can’t even access his page because they took it down.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damon_Dash
I’m glad he broke. Never seen such an arrogant twat of a guy as this. I remember him on Cribs and banging on about having a fresh pair of sneakers every day. Just a shallow egotistical arsehole. This is good news.
sounds like you were jealous and praying for a downfall
nah he ain’t jealous that’s def Hov behind that screename
“sounds like you were jealous and praying for a downfall”.
yep, 100% COsign. i guess people didn’t like seeing D.D. winning.
He is certainly losing now. LOL
WOW! Dame is the cofounder the ROC and is broke?! This is a fucking shame.
shit is fucked up, he was the one who signed the best selling artist other than jay. it was dame who signed kanye, jay didn’t want to sign him, dame had to convince jay that it was a good move. dame signed dipset and they are the only platinum artist other than jay. jay kept pushing bleek, amil, and other artist that flopped on the roc. biggest cause of downfall to dame was when artist where choosing sides, how kanye straight left dame, even though he was the one who gave him his shot at rap.
Side were chosen so long ago Dame made a movie about it.
Fuck Jay Z for this shit, I understand he a business dude… but Dame was a big part of him being successful
Hey Dame UPS is hirin
broke mofo
Fuck me? no fuck you and Bleek three!!
DAMN this nigga so rich he got a CARMEL HOUSE! If my house was made out of carmel I would eat it so quick I’d die from cavities! Does he live next door to the Ginger Bread Man! I bet it’s really sticky in there!
Too funny!!!!
should of not turned his back on jay-z he would never be in this situation
fuckouttahere Jay deserves blame on the ROC situation too. Even after the ‘breakup’ look at what happened to the dudes that stayed ‘loyal’ to Jay. Where SP at? (remember they sided with him while Beanie sided with Dame at first), Bleek?, Tru Life? (before doing dumb shit) RocaFamilia?
Jayz does not have a magic wand to wave to make niggaz succesful. People dont’ feel Bleak like that. Bleek is good though, I’m sure Jay made sure he was straight. Tru life…caught caught up with that street shit…he doing a bid….jay ain’t responsible for that. Simple…everybody can’t be a star…everybody ain’t gonna make it…simple as that.
doesnt dame own the masters
Never really cared too much for Dame, but hate to see this.
When will some of these guys realize just because they earned some money for a few years that it aint gonna last for ever.. you dont need two homes dude.. worth millions..now evicted from your “rented” mansion. They took your “rented” suv..worth millions but not owning a damn thing.
follow at noles506
haha, the title is too funny and ironic! This dude should have never turned his back on Jay-Z, now he’s about to lose his CAMEL house hahahaha
Jay-Z turned on him
i dont know if “turned on” is the right word. i think it got to a point where Jay Z saw that he was carrying roc a fella and saw 2 dudes behind him getting getting paid crazy money while Jay did the hard work. from what i read, Dame and Biggs got screwed in the deal, but it may have been their fault
I heard motherfuckers saying they made Hov
Made Hov say, “Ok so, make another Hov”
Niggaz wasn’t playing they day role
So we parted ways like Ben and J-Lo
I shoulda been did it but I been in a daze though
I put friends over business end of the day though
But when friends, business interests as they go
Ain’t nothing left to say though
I guess we forgot what we came fo’
Shoulda stayed in food and beverage
Too much flossing
Too much Sam Rothstein
I ain’t a bitch but I gotta divorce them
Hov have to get the shallow shit up off him
And I ain’t even want to be famous
Niggaz is brainless to unnecessarily go through these changes
And I ain’t even know how it came to this
Except that fame is
The worst drug known to man
It’s stronger than, heroin
When you could look in the mirror like, “There I am”
And still not see, what you’ve become
I know I’m guilty of it too but, not like them
You lost one.
1
keep your head up, mi bredda.
damn…stop living beyond your means….Dame should just get a nice 400,000 dollar home….all these million dollars lofts and renting manision shit is stupid….who rents a mansion anyway? That money could be spent on a modest mortagage. Like i said…get a 400,000 dollar nice crib….smh
True’dat
agree, that is why i laugh when i see a brand new artist with one album out driving a ferrari or lambo. they want to live the flashy lifestyle when a 400k home a 60k car would be better for stretching that money.
smarten up
Why do people bring up Jay-z or blame Jay-z when shit like this happens to Dame? Dame is a grown man…JAY-Z ain’t make Dame buy all that bullshit…he made dumb moves with his money….Dame MADE ALOT OF MONEY OFF ROCEFELLA AND ROCAWEAR….niggaz always gotta floss….why have multimillion dollar lofts?…and rent a fucking mansion?. Just get a nice crib a couple cars and chill…. Thats what I hate about my people we always do to much..we gotta let everybody know we making money. You can walk by a white dude…and he look basic as hell in some wrangler jeans and dude is a MILLIONAIRE. A black dude get a lil paper…EVERYBODY HAS TO SEE IT. HE GOT TO SHINE. Warren Buffet is a BILLIONAIRE….google dudes house….you would never know A BILLIONARE lived there.
COsign, on BUFFET’s abode. pretty basic, for someone who’s a billionaire.
this what happens when u do business with jay z
^^^^^^see what I mean?What does jayz have to do with dame making stupid purchases?
