But Dash refuted the story and insisted he was simply trying to sell his entire one-third stake in Roc-A-Fella.<\/p>\n<p>The situation intensified this week after Dash filed a countersuit against JAY-Z and Roc-A-Fella with the New York Supreme Court, alleging JAY-Z wrongfully claiming streaming rights to <em>Reasonable Doubt<\/em> for himself.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/news\/music-news\/damon-dash-accuses-jay-z-of-illicitly-transferring-streaming-rights-to-debut-album-1234981791\/\"><em>The Hollywood Reporter,<\/em><\/a> the suit says JAY-Z transferred streaming rights to the album to S.

Why do I have to hear it? Why do I have to get sued? Biggs, Jay, call me and tell me what the play is but if you swing on me, I\u2019m going to have to swing back. And when I say that, I\u2019m saying now that I\u2019m looking under the hood, it looks crazy, but I just do believe that I don\u2019t need all of this. I\u2019m trying to live my life. I\u2019m the guy that\u2019s always saying this is what they want us to do. They want us culturally to fight each other for them while they watch us and that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just like, \u2018Yo, just call me as a man and tell me what the problem is.\u2019 But at the end of the day, I don\u2019t see what difference it makes if I own or if I sold my third. Why do I have to be a partner? And then they\u2019re trying to call a fake meeting to try to make new bylaws, which they can\u2019t do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/3YPK0bNOuayhmSrs0sIIBR?theme=0\" width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>When asked why he thinks JAY-Z didn\u2019t take the route of talking to him man-to-man, Dash admitted, \u201cNo idea, but it\u2019s corny and I think it\u2019s embarrassing. And now I\u2019m in a fight I don\u2019t want to be in when I\u2019m doing other shit. All I want to do with is sell my interests and do what I got to do. Instead, I got to be called a liar, I got to have some white man [Alex Spiro] calling me a thief, somebody trying to tell me how to run my business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlex Spiro literally tried to colonize my company \u2014 like come in, try to tell us what to do and tell us what he\u2019s going to do with it. And it\u2019s not his company. This is a Black-owned company, three Black men started this. And I am the CEO and director, always have been. I think the issue is that Jay is getting confused. He\u2019s the boss of his Roc, whatever, but I\u2019m the boss of Roc-A-Fella, Inc. I am the director. I am the CEO. And if you can show me something that can say otherwise, I\u2019d like to see it. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s ever been disputed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cSo why all of a sudden is he acting like he\u2019s the director trying to call meetings? And then insult to injury, just very oddly, we look at Spotify and we see that it says \u2018Copyright owned by S. Carter.\u2019 And we\u2019re like, \u2018The copyright is owned by Roc-A-Fella, Inc.\u2019 I\u2019m looking at the ledgers and they\u2019re not showing anything that reflects income from any streaming service. So where does that go? I just want to know who authorized that. That\u2019s all I want to know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dash is 100 percent correct about the copyright on<em> Reasonable Doubt.<\/em> One quick look at the Spotify page and it very clearly states at the bottom, \u201cS. Carter Enterprises LLC\u201d where he said it should say Roc-A-Fella.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re accusing me of doing something, I\u2019m telling you I\u2019m not doing it,\u201d he added. \u201cThey never said, \u2018No, I\u2019m not doing that.\u2019 They didn\u2019t even address it. So when a Black man looks at his own company is frivolous. When someone just asked the question, \u2018Yo, if the copyright\u2019s owned by Roc-A-Fella Records, Inc., why does it say the copyright\u2019s owned by Sean Carter? And if there\u2019s money coming in, where\u2019s it going?\u2019 That\u2019s the only question I want to know.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-549175\" src=\"https:\/\/app.hiphopdx.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screen-Shot-2021-07-16-at-3.23.51-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.hiphopdx.com\/2021\/07\/Screen-Shot-2021-07-16-at-3.23.51-PM.png 1600w, https:\/\/static.hiphopdx.com\/2021\/07\/Screen-Shot-2021-07-16-at-3.23.51-PM-300x48.png 300w, https:\/\/static.hiphopdx.com\/2021\/07\/Screen-Shot-2021-07-16-at-3.23.51-PM-768x122.png 768w, https:\/\/static.hiphopdx.com\/2021\/07\/Screen-Shot-2021-07-16-at-3.23.51-PM-1024x163.png 1024w, https:\/\/static.hiphopdx.com\/2021\/07\/Screen-Shot-2021-07-16-at-3.23.51-PM-250x40.png 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\"><\/figure>\n<p>Dash said he was offered $1.5 million for his stake in Roc-A-Fella, a number he felt was unacceptable.

Why not call me?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI told everybody I know that knows him, I said, \u2018Yo, just tell him to call me. Yo, Biggs, holler at me. Why don\u2019t you want to call me, bro?\u2019 But both of them are voting against me. How does JAY-Z and Biggs have a lawsuit against Damon Dash? How does that even sound? Corny. It sounds corny.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Dash would undoubtedly collect a hefty amount of change for his one-third stake in Roc-A-Fella, he said it\u2019s about more than the money.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to deal with this shit,\u201d he said. \u201cI just want to go and have the life of being an artist, start working on love, my family. I\u2019m doing things my way. So I\u2019m cool, do what you want to do over there. Continue whoever you want to be. Just be there, I\u2019m over here. I could have gone to court, but I just thought guys like us don\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CRZb6bfJJAc\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Leave me the fuck alone. I don\u2019t want to be your partner anymore. Leave me alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bhushan explained to <em>DX,\u00a0<\/em>the initial lawsuit is based on an NFT that was never minted. Even so, Dash received a subpoena on Thursday (July 15).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Damon saw this declaration, I actually asked one of the partners on this case, \u2018Well, effectively, what is the point of this case now that you know that we\u2019ve effectively not minted anything? This is what we\u2019re selling,\u2019 so on and so forth,\u201d Bhushan said. \u201cAnd they basically told the associate, \u2018Get off the phone. We need to conduct our investigation.\u2019 And in fact, Damon just told me they served him with a subpoena that basically says that they would like to search his studio for an NFT that doesn\u2019t exist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dash jumped in with, \u201cIt sounds like they think they\u2019re the police and they\u2019re not the police.\u00a0They know it doesn\u2019t exist. This is harassment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bhushan also noted JAY-Z and his team was attempting to schedule an \u201cunauthorized\u201d meeting for Friday (July 16) to adopt new bylaws (a judge allowed the meeting to move forward, according to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2021\/07\/16\/damon-dash-jay-z-roc-a-fella-records-trying-sell-stake-shares-legal-beef\/\"><em>TMZ<\/em><\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJay has basically appointed himself as the temporary director,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019s called this meeting. The meeting is for a meeting of the shareholders tomorrow at 5 p.m. I\u2019m going to file some paperwork more or less to stop it, but the idea is basically, \u2018we want to adopt bylaws.\u2019\u00a0And the bylaws are the internal governing document of Roc-A-Fella Records for 25 years, we should point out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince January 1996, they\u2019ve had no bylaws and they basically operated without issue. Ever since Jay basically asked Dame to sell his interest, and this is what we\u2019re putting in our papers, all of a sudden now they\u2019re interested in the corporate governance, how it operates, what moves it makes, its internal documents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He expounded with, \u201cThese bylaws have a provision that basically said, \u2018You need consent of basically Biggs and Jay,\u2019 which is effectively going to preclude a sale. So the sole purpose is intended to basically frustrate Damon\u2019s efforts to sell, which kind of segues into the current lawsuit we just filed basically saying, \u2018Well, you basically screwed up the marketplace.\u2019 When he talks about change of title and selling things, we want to make sure that Roc-A-Fella Records does, in fact, own 100 percent of the <em>Reasonable Doubt<\/em> copyright.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Can&#039;t Knock The Hustle\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8P12bMQMXLA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The plan is to bring the Spotify issue to a federal judge and move forward with the proceedings. But overall, it seems both Dash and Bhushan are confused as to why this entire thing is happening in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ultimate irony is the very thing they accused Damon of doing, which was completely false, is what Jay\u2019s in fact doing,\u201d Bhushan noted. \u201cHe parked the copyright in front of S. Carter Enterprises, which is his holding company. So you cannot explain that. You can call it a frivolous stunt if you want, but that\u2019s a cheap way of saying, \u2018I have no real explanation as to why this happened.\u2019 Roc-A-Fella is not getting its deserved revenue. Whatever nickels you get from Spotify or TIDAL or whatever, we\u2019re not getting it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If Dash is ultimately successful at selling his one-third stake, he\u2019ll be happy to close this chapter of his career, although he\u2019s not really thinking about how it will affect his relationship with JAY-Z in the long run \u2014 at least not at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll always care about Roc-A-Fella,\u201d Dash said. \u201cWhat I\u2019ll be able to do is create and help people that I love. I don\u2019t feel like dealing with all of this cloudy shit. This isn\u2019t the game I like to play, that\u2019s why I got away from that in the first place. Too many question marks and nobody gives any answers. They just give their own statements. So it\u2019s just like, \u2018Yo, go do your thing. I don\u2019t care. I don\u2019t care what you do, just leave me the fuck alone and let me go live my life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll Black men should be friends, period. But if people live by different morals, it\u2019s just hard. We just have to let them exist. But at the end of the day, nothing happened that they can\u2019t just call me and say, \u2018What\u2019s up?\u2019 Because I really don\u2019t know. I just got hit with a lawsuit. I\u2019m like, \u2018Why?
