50 Cent has shared his thoughts on the news that Dame Dash’s film company went up for auction and barely drew any interest.
On Tuesday (December 30), the 54-year-old Roc-A-Fella founder's film business reportedly fetched just $100.50 at an auction, according to the New York Post. The auction was supposedly meant to chip away at roughly $1 million Dash owes from defamation lawsuit judgments.
Catching wind of the sale, Fif took to Instagram to respond. "Damn $1 dollar 👀He popped, 😆," the G-Unit head honcho captioned his post. "They took his whole shit! when I first got on he said a mill was nothing."
Per the Post, only one bidder appeared and bought Poppington LLC, the production company holding Dash's film catalog, despite hopes it might bring hundreds of thousands. The winning bidder was Mike Muntaser of Muddy Water Motion Pictures, who Dash owes about $973,000 after losing multiple civil suits.
"I think he's a fool, man," Muntaser told the newspaper, before admitting that the purchase was a "jab" at Dash, who he blames for dragging him through years of litigation instead of sitting down like "grown men" and resolving their differences.
"He’s just a problem," Muntaser said. "He has an ego. I think he’s just bitter [coming] from where he was to where he is and he just blames everybody else and doesn’t look at himself in the mirror."
Dash filed for bankruptcy in September claiming to only have a few thousand dollars in assets while facing about $25 million in taxes, child support, and other debts, with at least $5 million tied to civil cases involving attorney Chris Brown's clients.
Brown has said the bankruptcy filing is another attempt to dodge payment, and Dash has previously faced the risk of jail time for refusing to satisfy judgments.
The assets on the block included rights to Dash's best-known film Honor Up, featuring Dash, Cam'ron and Stacey Dash, along with Too Honorable, the documentary Welcome to Blakroc, and We Went To China: Our Search For Like Minded Individuals.
"It’s more of an undertaking of what they viewed Dash’s work to be as opposed to anything else," Brown said, while pointing out that Cam’ron called Honor Up "wack" in an Instagram post earlier this year. "Like, no one cares that you went to China. Mr. Dash. I guess I really don’t know what to make of that."
Brown himself will reportedly receive $33.50 from the sale after winning a separate $150,000 judgment. He also dismissed Dash's continued remarks about the cases as pointless.
"It’s just silly," said Brown. "So I have no idea why he continues to slander Josh [Webber]," Brown told the Post. "Frankly, what I desire the most is for him to just stop talking about my clients."
Muntaser and filmmaker Josh Webber have now sued Dash three times for defamation, including a new case tied to comments Dash made after appearing on The Breakfast Club podcast.
"For him being on a big stage with like Jay-Z and [Kanye West]," Muntaser added. "Why are your peers doing good, [being] constructive and you're just playing games with others? May God guide him."
