Dame Dash Presses Lee Daniels For $2 Million

You may have heard that Dame Dash mentioning the fact that writer, director, producer Lee Daniels owes him $2 million dollars.

Read on to see what Dame Dash did to Lee Daniels

CelebNMusic247.com has learned via the Hollywood Reporter that Dame Dash and Lee Daniels had settled their legal dispute back in 2015 after they both agreed to dismissed their lawsuit.

Here is what HR reported:

Dash loaned Daniels $2 million 2004 for production of The Woodsman, in return Dame was to be paid back with interest in addition to retaining 50% of the rights to the film. Instead of having his investment returned, Dash opted to place Daniels’ debt into another film that again flopped.

Daniels finally got this life right when Precious, The Butler, and Empire all became hits. Being that Dame had not been paid back, he sued Lee and demanded profits from each project. Apparently, Lee wasn’t feeling that.

Fast forward to more recently, Dash pulled up on Daniels at what appears to be a concert and THIS happened.
