It’s going to time to proof, but they’re looking to alter public perception. They’re muddying the waters for me to sell. We’re filing paperwork as to who is in control of this company before the court.ĭASH: But why does he want to be my partner so bad that I can’t sell my shares? Come Friday, they can’t change the bylaws. Since October 1995, those titles haven’t changed, as to who has control to call meetings and place restrictions, hold votes and file litigation. That’s a known fact.īHUSHAN: In October 1995, there’s paperwork where Jay-Z signed on as an artist. Everybody knows I am the CEO, and that Jay was the artist. When they sent me the books is when they sent me their offer to buy me out… I just want some answers to some questions. So where is any of the money going now? And who authorized any changes to its copyright? I didn’t. There was no money of representation through Spotify or any streaming services.
When he tried to sell me the company before, I asked him to send me over the ledgers. VARIETY: Can we talk about the issues surrounding your copyright lawsuit?ĭASH: My main question has forever been, “Why doesn’t he want me to sell my third?” Then we look under the hood, and it’s “Oh, snap” - there’s this change in the copyright that we know Roc-A-Fella Records held. In two interviews with Variety, Dash - first speaking alone, and later with attorney Natraj Bhushan - talked about the rough time the CEO had unloading Roc-A-Fella, how he would have preferred to hammer things out with Jay-Z in a sit-down, and what immediate plans his Damon Dash Productions has in terms of music. “Are his lawyers talking?”Īlex Spiro, an attorney for Shawn Carter (Jay-Z’s real name), would not comment on the record, suggesting that their previous court paperwork and the judge’s decision speak for themselves.

One thing, for sure, though: When Dash “lost” in his recent attempt to sell his one-third share of the label via an NFT of Jay-Z’s debut album, 1996’s “Reasonable Doubt,” there was no way that defeat would signal the end of the story. Keeping track of what has gone on between Damon Dash and Jay-Z – onetime friends and cofounders of Roc-A-Fella Records – in the last three weeks has become something of a bloodlust-y spectator sport with unexpected twists at every turn.
