Dame Dash Says Drake Offered to Buy His Stake in 'Reasonable Doubt'
The court-mandated auction of Dame Dash's stake in Roc-A-Fella Inc. was recently delayed because of his various debts.
In an interview with America Nu Network, Dame Dash claimed that Drake approached him with an offer to buy his stake in Roc-A-Fella Inc., whose sole asset is Jay-Z's debut studio album, Reasonable Doubt.
Around the 14-minute mark of the interview, which can be seen above, Dame was asked for his thoughts on the announcement that Kendrick Lamar will perform at the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show next year. "I see what people are saying, but if I step in that conversation, then you know I'm hating on homeboy," he said. "But what I do know is this: as for battle rap, shit, there's never been a battle rap where the record becomes a hit [and] puts another artist in a very uncomfortable position... and then they get to perform it at the Super Bowl."
He said if he were in Drake's shoes, he would want to pull up to the Super Bowl with Roc-A-Fella chains, which he indicated Drizzy would get if he purchased his stake in Roc-A-Fella.
"Drake hollered at me through DM and made an offer, and I'm not quite sure what happened, but I thought that he had got with Jay or something," he said. "But it would be a good time to close, but if you got it, you know. ... If you want to own Reasonable Doubt, if you want to own a third of it [and] have a say at the board meetings for at least the next seven years and make money off of it, I would get these chains."

Dame Dash’s Sale of Stake In Roc-A-Fella Delayed Over Tax and Child Support Debts
Recently, the court-mandated auction of Dash's 33.3 percent interest in the company, which he co-founded with Jay-Z and Kareem "Biggs" Burke, was delayed due to his unpaid child support and tax-related debts. The sole asset of Roc-A-Fella Inc. is Hov's debut album, while the rest of the label's catalog was released by a separate entity, Roc-A-Fella. Jay-Z and Burke have attempted to halt the auction, but the judge in the case rejected their attempts.
A recently released report by Rolling Stone points to attorney Christopher Brown, who is in control of the judgment in the sale process. According to Brown, the sale of the shares of Roc-A-Fella will occur in the next six months, allowing for ownership of one-third of Roc-A-Fella, Inc. Brown told the outlet that no one has purchased Dame’s share and that only he and the United States Marshal can decide what happens to the shares.
Earlier this month, Dame Dash made headlines when the top row of his grills popped out of his mouth during a livestream session. He was fielding questions from viewers when someone asked if he would ever work on a movie or TV project with 50 Cent, and that’s when the incident occurred. Dame—who revealed that he has no front teeth and needs oral surgery—poked fun at himself and then removed the grill to show that he’s missing some teeth. “So that’s what happened,” he added. “I thought it was hilarious.”
