Dame Dash claims Drake offered $6 million for his Roc-A-Fella shares, but “disappeared.”

In a recent video uploaded to Dash’s America Nu Network YouTube page, the Harlem businessman talked about the controversial auction. “So, the auction happened yesterday and basically no one showed up,” he began. “Only Jay‘s lawyers, the state [of New York], and the crew that was initially suing me.” He then mentioned that he wasn’t there because it was his son’s birthday and that he “just wanted this thing to be done.”

According to the New York Post, the state of New York made a $1 million bid and won as they continue to try and collect the $8 million in back taxes Dash owes the state. “No one showed up,” Dame reiterated. “And the state made a bid for it and that’s really what it was worth.” He then continued by throwing some shade towards his former business partner Jay-Z, “What this really taught me was that, in the world, homie isn’t as big as he portrayed. I thought more people would be interested in buying it because of the art value of it. And that’s the only thing I was selling, because of how everyone portrays they love this dude… I thought people would at least show up. No one even showed up.”

Dash then revealed Drake made a hefty offer over DM, but went ghost. “At the end of the day, I don’t really understand it,” he said of the situation. “My child support, I guess, will get paid. And in my mind, I wasn’t getting any of that bread anyway. If I could sell it, I thought people really loved homeboy, pause, way more than they did. People did not show up. Drake did put a bid in for $6 million but then he disappeared. It’s in my DM… I don’t know what happened. But other than that, no serious people. No one wanted that sh—t. Period.”

Back in August, Dame offered an original Roc-A-Fella chain to anyone who bids over $10 million, but obviously that scenario never came to fruition. Also, there have been rumors swirling about whether or not Roc-A-Fella Inc.’s main asset Reasonable Doubt would eventually land in the hands of Jay-Z, ultimately scaring potential buyers off. However, a judge refused to give a ruling in that regard. “The asset that is the subject of the auction is Dash’s one-third interest in RAF [Roc-A-Fella] itself, not the work owned by RAF,” the judge wrote. “The Court does not presently have jurisdiction over the validity of Carter’s copyright termination notice.”
