Dame Dash isn't fazed by JAY-Z's attorneys filing a notice that the rights to his 1996 album Reasonable Doubt will switch from Roc-A-Fella to his possession in 2031. The label's co-founder is still trying to sell off his shares of the company and reaffirmed his plans in a post on Instagram on Tuesday. "They can say what they want, this sh*t is still for sale," he clarified. "You’re not buying a copyright, you’re buying a piece of a company ROC A FELLA INC. Please only serious inquiries only!"
Fans shared their support for Dame in the comments section of his post. "Rocafella wouldn’t be a household name if it wasn’t for Dame!! Marketing genius! Shout out to #Harlem," one user wrote. Another top comment added: "Jay Z can't break bread, he has to have the whole loaf, crust & crumbs."

It's unclear whether anyone will actually step up and buy the shares from Dame. Lupe Fiasco recently suggested that Drake has the means and should do so in a post on social media. "@champagnepapi will keep it safe for generations to come," he wrote. "This is grail and influenced an innumerable amount of rappers to see it peddle such a lack of grace genuinely hurts my feelings a little bit. But also on savages st fk it…either donate it to a museums for safekeeping or seriously let Drake make an offer so he can put in where it needs to be. Or just keep the s**t OG you should be infinitely proud of this. Without it there is no me as I am and I'm sure other MC's will agree."
Dame Dash Still Wants To Sell His Shares
Dame will use whatever he makes from the sale to cover a massive $823,000 judgment he owes to Josh Weber for copyright infringement and defamation over the 2016 film Dear Frank. Be on the lookout for further updates on Dame Dash on HotNewHipHop.
