We knew Dame Dash was having money issues for the past couple of years but it looks like matters are getting even more severe.
According to court documents, Hova’s former partner in crime is so deeply in debt he now faces imminent eviction from a rented mansion in suburban Carmel, N.Y. and possible jail time.
In a five page filing on Tuesday, he wrote:
“I am currently several months behind in paying my personal bills,”
He continues:
“For instance, I am currently over $100,000 behind in rent for the only home in which I live and at risk of being evicted.”
In 2010 Dame lost two lofts in Tribeca, NYC, with $7.3 million left on the massive mortgages.
JEEEZUS!
According to the NY Daily News:
Court records show Dash lost a slew of lawsuits filed by landlords, fashion designer Charlotte Ronson and a celebrity bodyguard firm.
As for possibly having to do some time behind bars, the site reports:
According to his court filing, Dash faces possible criminal prosecution for non-payment of taxes in New Jersey. Documents indicate Dash also owes more than $2 million in taxes to New York state, and he conceded owing federal income taxes.
While at the Manhattan Supreme Court on Thursday to fight a charge of ignoring a 2008 lawsuit from a garment industry lender seeking payback for a $237,078 loan, Dash refused to speak on his money troubles but apparently flashed cell phone shots of art galleries he owns in Charleston, S.C., and Hong Kong.
However in an email from his attorney, Gregg A. Pinto., Dame says:
“I have the guts to fight my battles on my own and it’s entertainment to everybody else because I’m so cool about it.”
Mmm… interesting. Hopefully this former Rocafella man can avoid jail and work this out.
