Roc-A-Fella has scored an early victory in its case against Dame Dash. A judge ruled Tuesday that Dash is prohibited from selling an NFT of Jay-Z’s debut album, Reasonable Doubt.
TMZ reports that any planned auctions to sell an NFT of the album are not permitted to move forward. A federal judge ruled that Roc-A-Fella and Jay’s arguments were “deemed credible and correct,” according to an outlet.
This will likely not be the last the Roc has heard from Dame Dash and is likely only the beginning of the case.
Roc-A-Fella filed a lawsuit against Dash because he does not own the rights to Reasonable Doubt. Instead, the company owns it. Roc-A-Fella claimed that Dash was trying to cash in on the NFT craze and took him to court to put an end to any potential sales. They were also requesting he turn over any NFTs already minted.
Dash claims he’s trying to sell more than just Reasonable Doubt. He’s trying to offload his entire stake in the label. He says Jay hit him with a lowball offer to buy him out, so he’s looking for a better offer from someone else.
