Apparently, Dame Dash has been waiting patiently to have a run in with producer and director Lee Daniels and he got his opportunity recently at a Diana Ross concert. Damon Dash is suing Lee Daniels for $5 million because he loaned Daniels $2 million dollars years ago to get his career started and Daniels never paid him back. Check out the video below:
Dash posted the clip on his IG with the caption that read,”“I straight up loaned this dude Lee Daniels @theoriginalbigdaddy 2 million to pay for his dream of being a director…it was the money I was using to fund my movies and stay Indy…he promised I get my money back in months…then he makes precious and goes missing so he doesn’t have to pay me…then then Butler…empire…same sh*t Why does this dude feel like he doesn’t have to pay me?…why do I have to look crazy to get my money back…or go to court…ask @theoriginalbigdaddy why he doesn’t feel like he has to pay me even though he has it…what type of sh*t is this.. #paywhatyouowe I’m going to put this whole thing on my ig tv in a few… true definition of a culture vulture @culturevultures_book …eats off the culture but Robs the culture at the same time… see you back in court Lee your gonna pay me what you owe…please everyone ask him way he doesn’t think he has to pay me…”
You can hear Dash telling Daniels,” “As a black man, I gave you the money that you needed so how you not gonna pay me?” Daniels eventually responds and says, “Damon, I’m going to give you your money.”
