Damon Dash’s Film Catalog Goes for $100 — “I Think He’s a Fool,” Says Buyer

Former Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder Damon Dash watched his filmmaking company get snatched up for a jaw-dropping $100.50 at a court-ordered auction — a last-ditch effort to chip away at roughly $1 million he owes from multiple defamation judgments.

The auction drew just one bidder: Mike Muntaser, CEO of Muddy Water Motion Pictures, who holds a $973,000 claim against Dash. “I think he’s a fool, man,” Muntaser said after submitting the winning bid, later describing the purchase as a deliberate “jab” at Dash following years of bitter litigation.

Dash filed for bankruptcy in September, claiming he had only a few thousand dollars to his name while owing an estimated $25 million in federal and state taxes, child support, and other debts. At least $5 million of that stems from civil lawsuits involving clients represented by attorney Chris Brown, who has accused Dash of using bankruptcy to dodge paying court-ordered judgments — even after Dash previously faced the threat of jail time for refusing to pay.

The assets sold under Dash’s production company, Poppington LLC, included rights to his film Honor Up, which starred Dash, Cam’ron, and Dash’s cousin Stacey Dash, along with titles like Too Honorable, Welcome to Blakroc, and We Went To China: Our Search For Like Minded Individuals. Brown said he had hoped outside bidders would offer hundreds of thousands — but no one showed. He also pointed out that Cam’ron recently called Honor Up “wack” on Instagram.

Muntaser didn’t hold back when reflecting on Dash’s fall from hip-hop royalty. “He has an ego… he’s bitter from where he was to where he is,” Muntaser said, referencing Dash’s past association with Roc-A-Fella Records and peers like Jay-Z. Brown echoed the frustration, saying Dash’s repeated public comments — including remarks made after appearing on The Breakfast Club — have only fueled yet another defamation lawsuit. “Frankly,” Brown said, “I just want him to stop talking.”
