After handing over the links to two films, Dame Dash has until Aug. 13 to hand over the rest of the key assets in his legal fight with filmmaker Josh Webber as he continues to deal with the possibility of an arrest warrant.
In a letter obtained by Complex that was filed on Aug. 9, Webber’s legal team at Brown & Rosen LLC informed a judge that while Dash has partially complied with the court’s order to hand over film and music assets, several major items are still missing.
Dash has now provided links to two films — Honor Up and Too Honorable — which are being reviewed to verify that they match the versions being distributed by BET. Webber’s attorneys allege that Dash has yet to transfer the copyright for the documentary Mr. Untouchable to the U.S. Marshal, referring to it as a “clerical error” that Dash’s lawyer ensured would be fixed by Aug. 13.
Webber’s attorneys also allege that Dash hasn’t paid the U.S. Copyright Office for copies of deposit records, delaying the auction of his assets, and has failed to provide a full list of music-related property and bank account information for his Bluroc Records.
Webber’s attorneys want the court to issue an order requiring Dash to provide a complete inventory of Bluroc’s assets, give them the company’s banking details, and to give Mr. Untouchable to the U.S. Marshal by Aug. 13.
This update to Dash’s case comes days after Webber and his team accused Dash of noncompliance and requested for him to be arrested. In a letter to the judge, they cited missing deadlines and Dash’s social media posts as evidence he didn’t want to comply with the court’s orders.
One way or another, Webber is making sure to get the $800,000 defamation judgment that he won against Dash in 2022. The court ordered Dash to surrender certain copyrights, films, and full ownership of Bluroc Records to satisfy it.
Dash, however, continues to downplay the judgement and what he’s been forced to part with to satisfy it.
“I don’t have too much in my name,” Dash explained to The Art of Dialogue in July. “So the things that are in my name are companies that I don’t even know exist, don’t make money, and are from years ago.”
