Last month Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder Damon Dash was ordered to sell his shares in the company after losing a defamation of character lawsuit and failing to pay $84k in damages awarded to the plaintiff [click here if you missed that].
Now Dame's lawyers in a separate lawsuit are withdrawing from the case after not getting paid...

According to court documents, Damon Dash has breached his agreement with his legal representation in a $51 million lawsuit against him by Monique Bunn.
Sanders Roberts LLP, the law firm representing Dash, filed a motion to withdraw as counsel for Dash, Damon Dash Studios, Poppington LLC, and Raquel Horn, citing the defendants’ ongoing breach of their contractual obligations.
The firm alleges that Dash has failed to fulfill their financial obligations under their retainer agreement, resulting in the firm initiating an enforcement action against them.
Felton T. Newell, a partner at Sanders Roberts LLP, stated that the firm devoted significant time to representing Dash, but the Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder is seriously behind on his legal bills.
The breakdown of the lawyer’s relationship with Damon Dash caused by not paying his tab has led the firm to conclude that it can no longer effectively represent Dash or his interests in the blockbuster lawsuit.
The court has set a hearing date for May 28, 2024, to address the motion. Damon Dash will still have representation if the proposal is granted since another lawyer named Xavier Robert Donaldson still represents the mogul.
