Things got heated between Damon Dash and Lee Daniels after Dame ran into the Director at an event and asked for $2 Million Dollars Lee owes him.
In the video which Dame uploaded to Instagram, you can here Dame asking Lee to pay him back the money which he loaned him to "pay for his dream" of being a director many years and Lee later went ghost on him.
Damon:
I straight up loaned this dude Lee Daniels 2 million to pay for his dream of being a director...it was the money I was using to fund my movies and stay Indy...he promised I get my money back in months...then he makes precious and goes missing so he doesn’t have to pay me...then then Butler...empire...same sh*t Why does this dude feel like he doesn’t have to pay me?...why do I have to look crazy to get my money back...or go to court...ask @theoriginalbigdaddy why he doesn’t feel like he has to pay me even though he has it...what type of sh*t is this.. #paywhatyouowe
I’m going to put this whole thing on my ig tv in a few... true definition of a culture vulture...eats off the culture but Robs the culture at the same time... see you back in court Lee your gonna pay me what you owe...pleases everyone ask him way he doesn’t think he has to pay me...
After watching the video and reading the subtitles, it appears the debt is legit and Lee will be making a payment soon.
