Dame Dash’s longtime lawyer has officially resigned over unpaid legal fees.
According to court documents obtained by HipHopDX, Felton T. Newell and Justin H. Sanders, Esqs., of Sanders Roberts LLP, filed a motion to withdraw as Dash’s legal representation granted because he had not paid them for their services.
Last month, Dash broke his silence after being ordered by a judge to sell his Roc-A-Fella shares to pay off his $823,000 debt owed to filmmaker Josh Webber and Muddy Waters Pictures.
“I just want to sell it and fund my other businesses with it,” Dame said in a recent interview.
He also made some claims about his former friend and business partner, Jay-Z.
He continued, “Jay pretended to be the CEO of Roc-A-Fella, hired his lawyers on Roc-A-Fella Inc.’s behalf. They illegally tried to change bylaws. Jay’s using my money to pay his lawyers to sue me about something I did not do. Finally, the judge was like, ‘Yo, he could sell his interest. Those bylaws that you put in 2021 are not applicable. You can’t tell that man he can’t sell his private property.’ So now I get to take it to auction like I originally wanted to,” Dame explained.
