It seems Dame Dash has another legal issue to deal with. A judge says he “repeatedly violated” court orders with regards to his defamation case.
As per HipHopDX a magistrate has ruled against Dame Dash on a defamation suit against him. Back in 2016 the Harlem native was slotted by film producer Josh Webber to direct an independent film titled Dear Frank. Production commenced but Dash was ultimately removed due to unprofessional behavior including allegations of being under the influence while shooting. Webber says that Dame Dash continued to promote the film as his but under under a new name The List.
Dame would say they shot the film with his equipment on his Sherman Oaks, CA property and stole it from him. Webber and his Muddy Waters company sued Dame Dash for copyright and defamation in 2019. Fast forward to 2022 they were awarded a judgement totaling $805K. On Tuesday, Feb. 18 Judge John F. Walter slammed Dame Dash for not following procedures and “repeatedly violating the court’s orders.”
As a result Walter has issued a default judgement in favor of Webber over an interview Dame Dash did with The Art Of Dialogue. During the interview the former Cakeaholic discussed the legal battle over Dear Frank. “I had a judgment. And I knew this d***head Chris Brown (pause) and Josh Webber (pause) and Muddy Waters…Chris Brown the lawyer. I went through four trials with the same lawyer…What I lost was defamation because these guys trigger me and steal my sh*t…you think there is freedom of speech, it’s really not…”
Webber has been given until March 3 to provide proof of the damages he has suffered.
