Damon Dash Facts

  1. Damon endured a rough childhood as his mother passed away due to an asthma attack when he was about 15 years old. In his teenage years, he also used to sweep the floor of a local barbershop and sell newspapers to make ends meet.
  2. Around the same time, he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (a disorder that originates when cells that make insulin (a naturally occurring hormone produced by the pancreas that helps the body use sugar for energy) are destroyed by the sufferer’s immune system) as well.
  3. Damon used to serve as the manager and business partner of renowned American rapper, record producer, and entrepreneur Jay-Z during the 1990s and the early 2000s. Both of them were also, in 1994, among the co-founders of the hip-hop record label and music management company Roc-A-Fella Records.
  4. In 1999, Damon organized a concert tour for Jay-Z which was so successful that it generated USD 19 million in revenue. He is also credited with the acquisitions of brands like Armadale Vodka and Pro Keds (a line of sneakers) during his time as the co-owner of Roc-A-Fella Records. He was well known for using artists signed with Roc-A-Fella Records and the label itself to market these other brands.
  5. Damon and Jay-Z’s relationship turned bitter in 2004 after Roc-A-Fella Records was purchased by Def Jam Recordings (an American multinational record label that had previously owned about half of Roc-A-Fella Records). After the sale of Roc-A-Fella Records, he started a new company called Damon Dash Music Group.
  6. In late 2005, Jay-Z acquired Damon’s stake in Roc-A-Wear, a clothing brand founded in 1999 by the duo. Damon had played a key role in establishing Roc-A-Wear‘s image as he had hired high-profile friends like Naomi Campbell and Omahyra Mota to model for the brand.
  7. In 2012, American rapper Currensy sued him for USD 1.5 million for releasing his music without permission.
  8. In April 2014, Damon became involved with Blind Debit, a fingerprint authentication-based payment application.
  9. In 2018, he settled a lawsuit that he had filed against American producer, director, and screenwriter Lee Daniels to recover a USD 2 million investment with interest. It was alleged that Damon had financially supported Lee early in his career and he had failed to repay him despite his subsequent success.
