Damon Dash has a major beef with producer and director Lee Daniels. According to the former music mogul, Daniels owes him $2 million.
In an Instagram post, Dame said that he loaned the Empire creator that amount so he could get started in the film business. Dash also posted a video in which he approaches Daniels about the debt and he definitely looked heated.
"I need to know what are you doing about this? 'Cause we about to issue another lawsuit and I'm going public about it," says Dame in the clip. "As a black man, I gave you money that you needed, so how you not gonna give me my money? $2 million dollars, bro. That's like working capital. You told me you was gonna give me my money in a month. You wrong, man."
Daniels conceded he was at fault.
"I know I'm wrong," said Daniels in response. "Damon, let me give you my phone number, and we'll have a discussion, alight? Damon, I'm gonna give you your money."
In the video's caption, Dame calls Daniels a "culture vulture" for not paying him and says "see you in court".
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 shit 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 shit is this.. #paywhatyouowe I’m going to put this whole thing on my ig tv in a few... true definition of a culture vulture...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...pleases everyone ask him way he doesn’t think he has to pay me
At this time, Daniels hasn't commented on Dame's video.
Do you think Dame will ever see that money?
