Damon Dash Names Kanye West A Witness In Lawsuit

The Damon Dash / Lee Daniels may wind up being a blockbuster proceeding since Dame has name-dropped music superstars Kanye West and Mariah Carey in an updated complaint filed Monday in Manhattan Supreme Court.

CelebNMusic247.com has new details as the lawsuit against Hollywood director Lee Daniels is building more evidence against Orpah’s choice director.

See, Dash mentioned the renowned rapper and pop diva among those who can boost his assertion that he was cheated out of investments to numerous flicks, including the hit movies “Precious,” “The Butler” and “The Paperboy.”

Dash’s lawyer Natraj Bhushan, reveals:

“There are pretty notable potential witnesses there.”

Kanye West to be exact!

Dash said he got West to promote “The Woodsman” — the first film Dash produced with Daniels in 2004 — by having the star perform at venues where ads for the movie would run.

Dash also contends he was instrumental in convincing Carey to appear in the 2008 drama “Tennessee” by assuring her “that Lee was a competent and talented producer,” even though his previous flick “Shadowboxer” had flopped.

The suit, which asks for unspecified damages, contends that Dash never got a return on the $2 million he pumped into Lee’s movies despite repeated promises, and that he was robbed of producer credits on some of the flicks.

Dash made millions from the music label he started with — and later sold to — Jay Z, but he is now deep in debt and had been the target of several suits himself.

He also faces legal troubles that carry a potential of criminal prosecutions, according to reports.

His lawsuit charged that Lee’s manager and co-producer Simone Sheffield has given Dash the runaround and later defamed him by telling others in the industry that he’s going to jail.
