It appears that music mogul Damon Dashhas disregarded his legal battle witCurren$y(real name Shante Scott Franklin). theJasmineBRAND.comhas learned that the rapper has headed to court to try and convince them to award him $2.9 million dollarsin damages against the Roca Fella Records co-founder.
Reportedly, Dash was sued by Curren$y who claimed he was selling his musicwithout the rights. Curren$y explained the two almost worked out a deal to release musictogether in 2010 but it fell through. Prior to the deal falling through the rapper and Dash released two albums of his music.
In the court docs, Curren$y said he eventually signed with Warner Bros. in 2011, but Dash continued to release his musicwithout permission. He said that Dash was ill properly assisting his deal with WB and filed suit demanding an injunction against him for releasing his songsand also $1.5 million in damages he caused him.
In turn, Dash reportedly fired back claiming that he had every right to release the albumsbecause he was given permission. He accused the rapper of stabbing him in the back by not signing the deal and going with Warner Bros instead. The legal battle has been going on for years.
However, it appears Dash has blown off the legal battle for several months and his lawyer reportedly dropped him as a client. The rapper filed docs demanding a default and the court granted his request.
What’s more? On November 21st, Curren$y headed to court demanding he be granted a default judgement in the amount of $2.9 million in damages plus $95K in attorneyfees. In the court docs, he claims Dash has caused him to lose money from his music byreleasing it on his own. He says, Dash violated the court order by refusing to hire new lawyers to represent him and making the whole legal battle drag out even longer than it already has. See the exclusive court docs.
