Damon Dash came under fire after abandoning the court order, but played on Lake Life and signed “Aaliyah” on his tag.
Filmmaker Josh Webber and muddy water pictures begged a federal judge to put Dash on his cuff after skipping the court deadline related to the $4 million judgment.
Instead of handing over the required documents, they say Damon Dash has been showing off on Instagram, bragging about his bucket hat and teasing about new music signatures.

According to court documents filed by Weber’s attorney Christopher Brown, Dash should introduce copyright information for his films and link to his films by August 7, 2025.
That never happened. So now, Brown wants Dash to drag him into court on August 13 to explain himself, which is in handcuffs.
Brown told U.S. District Judge Robert Lehrburger that Brown posted orders about his ‘Lakeman’ and ‘Bar Hat’ on social media, but instead posted information about his ‘Lakeman’ and ‘Bar Hat’ on social media about his ‘Lakeman’ and ‘Bar Hat’.
The quirky artist signed Aaliyah’s comparison, from Dash’s appearance on the art of dialogue, where he made his claim to eyebrows.
The entire legal chaos began with the 2019 film Dear Frank. Dash started out from the project but still claimed ownership, which led to defamation and copyright lawsuits.
Dash took a hit with a $4 million breach of contract judgment in 2025 after skipping the court deadline and wasting Webber.
To collect, the judge approved the sale of Dash at Dash Films Inc., Bluroc LLC, Blakroc LLC and his films. Dash has sold his Roc-A-Fella stake, but it is not enough to bear his legal obligations due to a large tax bill and support for child support.
Judge Lehrburger puts DASH into practice until July 10 to increase ownership certificates for his company and copyright so that the U.S. marshal can start auctioning his assets. Dash delivered some paperwork, but never delivered key film rights or digital files.
Dash’s lawyer, Natraj S. Bhushan, claimed that the missing items will be handed in by August 7. This deadline is here. Now, Webber and his team are doing well.
Christopher Brown said: “For many years, Mr. Dash’s disrespect for the orders of this court has been abundant. In view of this violation, the plaintiff respectfully demanded Mr. Dash’s warrant for arrest.”
Brown hopes the judge forces Dash to appear in person at 10 a.m. on August 13 and explain why he drags his foot (at the same time).
