Earlier this week, it was revealed that JAY-Z and Roc-A-Fella, the label founded by Sean ‘JAY-Z’ Carter, Damon Dash, and Kareem Burke were suing Dash after it had been alleged that Dash was trying to auction JAY-Z’s debut album Reasonable Doubt as a non-fungible token (NFT).

According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Dash tried to auction the album to the highest bidder via the digital marketplace, SuperFarm. However, Roc-A-Fella states that it is not Dash’s to sell, as the label owns it. The documents filed on Friday, June 18 by powerhouse attorney Alex Shapiro in New York’s Southern District Court state that even though the auction has been called off, Roc-A-Fella are worried that Dash will try and sell the album elsewhere.

“Dash can’t sell what he doesn’t own,” according to documents. “By attempting such a sale, Dash has converted a corporate asset and has breached his fiduciary duties. The court should stop Dash….and hold him accountable for his brazen theft.”

Despite Dash and Burke owning a third of the now-disbanded label, Dash responded by saying that he has every right to sell his third if he feels like it.

“He lying. That’s a whole lie,” Dash tells Page Six. “Jay owns one-third of ‘Reasonable Doubt.’ They just said that I tried to sell an NFT of ‘Reasonable Doubt’ and … it’s not true. I’m not running around to different places trying to auction off ‘Reasonable Doubt.’ I’ve been working with one platform and that’s SuperFarm.”

Dash continued by saying, “And the thing is I own a third of Roc-A-Fella Records and I can sell my third if I feel like it.”

This lawsuit follows after Reasonable Doubt photographer Jonathan Mannion was sued by JAY-Z after allegedly trying to exploit the rapper’s name by selling the photos from the Reasonable Doubt photoshoot without Hov’s permission.

“He thinks Roc-A-Fella Records is his—it is ours—and he’s doing all this on Roc-A-Fella’s behalf,” said Dash. “He’s got ‘only one man to eat’ syndrome and ‘everybody else got to work for him’ syndrome and ‘kiss the ring and we’re gonna mess up his reputation’ syndrome if you look under the hood. It continues to happen.”

JAY-Z offered Dash $1.5 million for Dash’s third of Reasonable Doubt. However, Dash declined the offer. “Jay himself tried to buy my third and it was a crackhead deal. He offered me like I was Pookie or something from New Jack City.”

“That’s what corporate always does to the independent guy,” he continued. “It’s a case of corporate versus independent and how they try to bully me — but they are trying to bully the wrong one.”

The suit details an incident where Garcia allegedly found himself trapped in a moving SUV with Megan whileshe engaged in sexual activity with another woman during their time in Ibiza, Spain.

According to court documents, “The following day, STALLION inquired whether PLAINTIFF was in the SUV the previous night. PLAINTIFF confirmed that he was in the SUV. Subsequently, STALLION instructed, ‘Don’t ever discuss what you saw.’ STALLION berated and directed her fat-shaming comments towards PLAINTIFF such as ‘Fat Bitch,’ ‘Spit your food out,’ and that ‘You don’t need to be eating.’”

Garcia is seeking compensation of over six figures, Garcia’s lawsuit requests unpaid wages, overtime pay, and other benefits as per California labor laws, along with statutory penalties and punitive damages.
