Damon Dash Could Lose Rights To His Film ‘State Property’ As Court Considers Auctioning His Assets Over Ongoing Legal Battle w/ Filmmaker

Damon Dash could lose rights to his movie “State Property” and other assets as a California court considers auctioning off his intellectual property due to years of “legal defiance” in a lawsuit with filmmaker Josh Webber.

The feud began over the 2019 film “Dear Frank,” which Damon Dash allegedly misrepresented as his own after being removed from production. In 2022, he was hit with an $805,000 ruling for copyright infringement and defamation. He was found liable after “failing to participate in mediation, missing court deadlines, and refusing to submit required filings.”

The fallout escalated to a $4 million defamation judgment in 2025 after Damon Dash called Webber a “d***head” and accused him of theft on the “Earn Your Leisure” podcast—claims Webber says cost him a major directing deal.

Plaintiffs now seek to sell Dash’s film rights, Roc-A-Fella chains, and jewelry, citing his continued refusal to turn over financial records since 2019 despite monetary sanctions.
