Dame Dash’s film production company was recently put up for auction. This was part of an effort to satisfy unresolved court judgments tied to a defamation case. The sale, however, drew little interest. It ultimately closed at just $100.50—an outcome that falls short of the more than $1 million Dash reportedly owes. This is stemming from multiple legal decisions. The lopsided result has renewed scrutiny of Dash’s financial standing and the legal pressures surrounding him.
The auction was intended to chip away at Dash’s growing liabilities. However, it instead became fodder for public ridicule. 50 Cent, a longtime adversary, seized the moment on Instagram, posting, “Damn $1 dollar 👀He popped, 😆,” as captured by Akademiks TV. The jab echoed years of tension between the two. It contrasted sharply with Dash’s past assertions about his business success.
Dash has yet to directly respond to the online mockery. Still, he recently addressed their rivalry during an appearance on Point Of View on AFRO TV. In this, his remarks suggested the dispute remains unresolved and personal.
Inside the Longstanding Rift With 50 Cent
The friction between Dash and 50 Cent has been shaped by overlapping histories in music, media, and business. The latest flashpoint came after the release of Netflix’s Sean Combs: The Reckoning. This is a documentary produced by 50 Cent that examines allegations involving Sean “Diddy” Combs. It does so through accounts from former associates.
Dash took issue with the approach, saying, “From a moral standpoint and based on street ethics, I honestly didn’t think that [50] would go that route. Because I wouldn’t do it. It’s not my place to disclose.” He continued by invoking codes of conduct rooted in community norms. He added, “Let them handle that. Allegedly, Puff acted inappropriately in front of his child with his baby mother. But that’s not how we address issues where we come from.”
Despite the criticism, Dash framed his comments as principled rather than personal. Reflecting on his own history with Combs, he said, “I know Puff well enough not to judge his moral character. As you can see, our business dealings have been minimal. But delivering that message would never be my role; let them sort it out.”
