Curren$y Isn't Talking With Dame Dash

Curren$y is currently embroiled in a legal dispute with Dame Dash over Dash's sale of some of Curren$y's music that the labelhead had no rights to. Curren$y says that he isn't really interested in repairing any fractured relationship with Dame at this point--his only concern is business.

As for speaking with Dash? That's irrelevant to the situation

"No. Not talking to him, but I hear stuff from his lawyers and his lawyers hear from my lawyers," Curren$y said.

"Sh*t, nothing ever really happened. Stuff gets sold and I feel like I don't know what happened on my end. So we'll see," he added. "Yeah, its business man, I got to do my thing. How could I do this and do all of that? I got to do this. Absolutely, that's all I have to say, that's all I can do."

Curren$y Sues Dame Dash

Rapper Curren$y has filed suit against hip hop executive Dame Dash. Curren$y is suing Dash for releasing Curren$y's albums without the rapper's permission. Curren$y and Dash planned to agree on a deal to release music that never materialized, yet Dash is accused of releasing two albums without a contract.

Dash released music even after Curren$y signed with Warner, which had exclusive rights to his music. Dash is being sued for $1.5 million.

Dash filed a response claiming that he was given permission and that Curren$y is ignoring an agreement between he and Dash and alleging that Curren$y's warning was a violation.

Dame Dash Eyes Hong Kong

Dame Dash's DD172 music collective is expanding into the Far East. Dame is taking his collective overseas and announced the launch of his Hong Kong division. The DD172 collective has released celebrated projects from Ski Beatz, Curren$y and others, and Dame is partnering with Shelly Pecot and Chinese rapper MC Yan to spearhead the expansion.

“Shelly [Pecot] was my neighbor in New York a few years back [before moving to China],” said Dash. “We shared the same rooftop and our kids played together."

"The old model of music, where artists try to get on the radio and then sell albums, is dead. We want to do multimedia, with short films and art exhibitions on top of the beats," he explained. "The point of these shows – these collaborations – is to bridge the gap between Western and Eastern music. Music can break any barrier, be it cultural or language.”

Dame Dash Sold Liquor Without A License

Former hip hop mogul Dame Dash has been hit with a restraining order from the city of New York. The order alleges that Dash's art gallery DD172 has been selling liquor without a license.

Dame Dash opened the DD172 gallery in the Tribeca neighborhood in the fall of 2009. Dash and his associates are accused of six counts of storing and selling alcoholic beverages without a license.

The city has also labeled the DD172 gallery a “nuisance,” and believes it could be a “front” for an illegal club.

According to The Voice, Damon Dash and associates had vacated the DD172 premises in June.

Dame Dash Still Misses Aaliyah

Dame Dash shared his memories of his late girlfriend Aaliyah in a recent interview. On the 10th anniversary of the superstar's death, Dame reflected on their love and life together. The former Roc-A-Fella Records mogul still misses her and the bond that the two had.

"The energy we created together for people to observe was kind of crazy. We'd be in a room full of people talking to each other and it felt like everyone was listening but it would be just us," Dame explained in an interview. "It would be like we were the only ones in the room. It was like something was going down in history every time I was with her. Every time I was around her I felt it was the place to be."

" Our time together meant so much that when we got more time, we felt like that [engagement] would be next," he shared. "She was one of the best people I ever met. Even with the pain I felt, I would do it all over again."

Dame Dash's Tax Woes Revealed

Former Roc-A-Fella Records mogul Dame Dash is opening up about his financial troubles. Dash appeared on Sway Calloway's "Sway In the Morning" radio show to talk about his tax debts and other issues.

"I owe way more than $2 million in taxes," said Dame. "That must've just been the IRS. Nah, nah, I'm f*cked up."

"They're auditing me," explained Dame. "When you're a business man, you have a lot of businesses, a lot of times they think you're laundering money or you're pretending you're writing things off that you don't. I'm a true businessman. As you know, I believe in my independence, I have no partners, so every dollar I make goes right back into every business I have."

"If I have an accountant that just reports I just invested $10 million in my business and he doesn't exactly itemize where every cost goes, it gives a flag to the government," he continued. "They want to make sure that the reason I'm not paying taxes is because I'm reinvesting in these businesses and not trying to hide stuff."
