Dame Dash has finally responded to the recent sale of his life rights, and he’s got some issues.
On Friday (October 23), Dash’s attorney filed an objection in bankruptcy court to a sale of the mogul’s life rights that had been announced just two days before, though it had been in the works for months. The proceeds from the $550,000 sale are set to go to Dash’s creditors.
In Friday’s memo, Dash’s attorney Mark S. Roher laid out a handful of issues with the sale. First, he said that anything acquired by Dash after his September 2025 bankruptcy filing should be exempt from the sale.
Second, he wanted a guarantee that Dash is “not obligated to communicate or otherwise assist or participate in any manner” with the winner of the auction, Everlasting Films, LLC.
“Otherwise, the Debtor will be unable to get a fresh start and could be subjected to potentially a lifetime of involuntary servitude to the purchaser,” Roher argued.
Third, he wanted a carve-out for any of Dash’s “memories, experiences and thought processes that have not been recorded, transcribed or otherwise expressed” prior to him filing for bankruptcy.
A hearing on the sale is set for next week, and Roher said his client “reserves the right” to raise “additional objections” at that point.
Complex reached out to Roher for comment, but he did not immediately respond.
On Wednesday (Oct. 21), the trustee in charge of Dash’s bankruptcy announced that an auction of the mogul’s life rights, which had been announced the previous month, had been completed.
Everlasting Films, LLC — the same company that made a $37,000 “stalking horse” bid at the beginning of the process — was the winner, paying $550,000 for exclusive, worldwide rights to Dame’s life story, as well as “100 hours of video content, photographs, and memorabilia.” On top of that, they’ll get the rights to “an unreleased, in-development documentary/film project.”
If Everlasting Films doesn’t close the deal within the required period, a man named Doug Peters, who made his own half-million dollar bid, will get the rights.
The life rights process started back in August, when the trustee, Traci K. Stevenson, filed court documents seeking to auction off the rights, with the money set to go to Dash’s creditors. Stevenson said that Dash had not listed his life rights among his assets when he filed for bankruptcy in 2025, despite their “evident value in light of the Debtor's public profile and his historical association with Roc-A-Fella Records and [Jay-Z].”
As mentioned, Dash filed for bankruptcy back in September 2025. At the time, he claimed $25 million in debts and only $4,350 of personal assets. For more about how some of those debts came about, click here.
