Damon Dash Continues to Put Pressure on Jay Z


Last month Shawn 'Jay Z' Carter successfully sued his former Roc-a-Fella Records partner Damon Dash forcing him to abandon his plans to auction off the rights to Jay Z's debut album 'Reasonable Doubt' as a non-fungible-token or NFT [click here if you missed that]. 

Now Dame is suing Jay over the 'Reasonable Doubt' streaming rights.... 

According to the brief legal papers, Carter has transferred streaming rights to Reasonable Doubt without authorization from Roc-A-Fella to S. Carter Enterprises LLC. Although there’s little detail in this court filing (a longer complaint will likely come at a later point), it appears as though Dash is objecting to the entity actually licensing Spotify, Apple, etc.
Dash is claiming unjust enrichment, breach of fiduciary duty, replevin and conversion. He’s seeking at least $1 million in damages.
