Key Takeaways
- Dame Dash says he's "flattered" that Everlasting Films LLC paid $550,000 for his life rights at a bankruptcy auction.
- The Roc-A-Fella co-founder objected to the sale and requested confirmation that he wouldn’t have to participate with the company on any project about his life.
- Everlasting Films LLC now has access to 100 hours of footage, photographs, memorabilia and an unreleased documentary project, while Dash implied his family could pursue legal action over any false portrayal.
Dame Dash has let it be known that he feels very honored that his life rights have been sold for six figures.
The music executive discussed the purchase of his life rights for $550,000 on the Wednesday (October 28) episode of The Art of Dialogue following Dame’s bankruptcy filing in September 2025. Dame's life rights were auctioned off last month, with proceeds from the sale going towards his creditors.
Last Friday (October 23), the Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder filed an objection to the sale, with Dame’s attorney, Mark S. Roher, seeking confirmation that his client would not be "obligated to communicate or otherwise assist or participate in any manner" with Everlasting Films, LLC., who won the auction.
While on The Art of Dialogue, the 55-year-old said around the 12-minute mark of the video above that Everlasting Films could have approached him directly to purchase his life rights for a documentary.
"To me if somebody would actually make a bid for that kind of bread to make a movie about me, then that means what's the budget of the movie?" he said.
Dame added that lawyer Christopher Brown, who was involved in the bid with Everlasting Films, has allegedly targeted the music mogul with "constant harassment." Brown has sued Dame in multiple defamation cases, and alleged that the music executive filed for bankruptcy to withdraw from paying his debts. When Dame filed for bankruptcy, he claimed $25 million in debts and $4,350 of personal assets.
"If he does or anyone makes a movie about [me], if it's not complimentary to me, if it's not completely the truth, then my family will get another check," Dame continued. "So, I always look at things from a godly perspective."
"I'm flattered that my life rights mean so much," he added. "I'm flattered that the intention is to make a movie about me that must have a bigger budget than the life rights unless they're dumb. I'm flattered that now I get to really fight for something that, if it did happen, would appear to be unconstitutional. I'm flattered that everyone's talking about it."
Elsewhere, Dame shared his confusion about the "obsession" over him. Everlasting Films initially made a $37,000 "stalking horse" bid for Dame’s life rights at the beginning of the auction and now has access to "100 hours of video content, photographs, and memorabilia," along with "an unreleased, in-development documentary/film project."
