Jay-Z Files Notice About Future “Reasonable Doubt” Rights Before Dame Dash Auction

by

Dame Dash had been trying to sell his Roc-A-Fella shares for some time, but earlier this month, it was revealed that the U.S. Marshall would publicly auction off his 33.3% interest in the company. The auction is scheduled for later this month, according to TMZ, and it looks like Jay-Z is getting prepared. Recently, the hitmaker’s attorneys filed a notice that the rights to his 1996 album Reasonable Doubt will switch from Roc-A-Fella to Shawn Carter come 2031.

The outlet also notes that the rights would have gone back to Jay-Z 35 years after the album’s release anyway. The filing simply makes it official. This means that whoever ends up winning the auction later this month will get one-third of Reasonable Doubt revenue for only about six years. The minimum bid is $1.2 million.

Anyone interested in the auction has been encouraged to email Christopher Brown, Josh Webber’s attorney. Webber and Muddy Waters Pictures won a massive civil suit against Dash back in 2022 over defamation and copyright infringement. He’s accused of telling people he owned the rights to the film Dear Frank, which Webber and Muddy Waters Pictures produced, despite having been dropped from the project. Reportedly, the auction is intended to cover the judgment.

Again, this comes after Dame Dash unsuccessfully tried to sell his Roc-A Fella shares for years. Last month, Lupe Fiasco even hopped online to suggest that Drake buy them. What do you think of Jay-Z filing a notice that the rights to Reasonable Doubt will be his in 2031? What about them going up for auction later this month to cover a civil suit judgment?

Diddy Files To Dismiss Anonymous Sexual Assault Accuser’s Lawsuit

by

Today, Diddy’s legal team filed a request for an anonymous accuser’s lawsuit against him to be dismissed. The lawsuit accuses Diddy, former Bad Boy Records president Harve Pierre, and another unnamed man of sexually assaulting the plaintiff. Allegedly, the incident took place at an NYC recording studio in 2003 when she was 17. It also includes photos of her sitting on Diddy’s lap, which she claims were taken the night of the assault. His team argues that she lacks sufficient evidence, calling it a “false and hideous claim.”

“Mr. Combs and his companies categorically deny Plaintiff’s decades-old tale against them, which has caused incalculable damage to their reputations and business standing before any evidence has been presented,” the filing, obtained by TMZ reads. “Plaintiff cannot allege what day or time of year the alleged incident occurred, yet purports to miraculously recall the most prurient details with specificity. Accordingly, this case should be dismissed now, with prejudice, to protect the Combs Defendants from further reputational injury and before more party and judicial resources are squandered.”

Diddy’s team also points out the fact that a “trigger warning” was included with her suit. They called it “legally irrelevant” and “calculated to focus attention on its salacious and depraved” allegations. His attorneys also claim, “The sparse amendments to the original Complaint cannot remedy the falsehoods and incurable defects in the new pleading. Like the original Complaint, it fails to state any viable claim and must be dismissed.”

What do you think of Diddy filing to dismiss his anonymous sexual assault accuser’s lawsuit? What about his team accusing her of lacking evidence? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
