Dame Dash‘s film company, Poppington LLC, sold for $100.50 at a public auction on Tuesday, Dec. 30, 2025, as part of efforts to satisfy nearly $1 million in judgments against him.

According to The New York Post, Mike Muntaser, CEO of Muddy Water Motion Pictures (MWP), submitted the winning bid. Muntaser, who holds a $973,000 claim against Dash stemming from civil defamation lawsuits, described the purchase as a “jab” at Dash, accusing him of prolonging years of litigation rather than resolving their disputes amicably.

He and filmmaker Josh Webber have successfully sued Dash twice for defamation. Additionally, as of last week, they have a third lawsuit in the works.

“He’s just a problem,” Muntaser told The Post. “He has an ego. I think he’s just bitter [coming] from where he was to where he is, and he just blames everybody else and doesn’t look at himself in the mirror.”

“For him being on a big stage with like Jay-Z and [Ye],” Muntaser added, “why are your peers doing good, [being] constructive and you’re just playing games with others?”

Dame Dash Faces An Estimated $25 Million In Debt

Tuesday’s sale included the rights to Dash’s best-known film, “Honor Up,” which starred Dash, rapper Cam’ron, and Dash’s cousin, Stacey Dash. Also included were its sequel, “Too Honorable,” a documentary titled “Welcome to Blakroc,” and a personal film, “We Went to China: Our Search for Like-Minded Individuals.”

Dash, who co-founded Roc-A-Fella Records with JAY-Z, owes an estimated $25 million in federal and state taxes, child support, and other debts.

He declared bankruptcy in September, reporting that he had only a few thousand dollars in assets.

Attorney Chris Brown — whose clients are owed at least $5 million in civil judgments against Dash — will receive $33.50 from the auction after winning his own $150,000 civil lawsuit, The New York Post reports. Brown said he had hoped outside bidders would offer several hundred thousand dollars for the film collection, but no additional bidders appeared.

“It’s more of an undertaking of what they viewed Dash’s work to be as opposed to anything else,” he said, referencing a recent Instagram post where Cam’ron referred to “Honor Up” as “wack.”

“Like, no one cares that you went to China. Mr. Dash,” Brown added about one of the films, per The Post. “I guess I really don’t know what to make of that.”

What Happened To Dame Dash’s Fortune?

As AFROTECH™ previously reported, Dash said in an Instagram video posted in August 2024 that he was broke, claiming his pursuit of creative dreams ultimately cost him his wealth.

“Somebody asked me how I got so broke. Investing in my dreams,” Dash explained. “You know, when you’re investing in your dreams and you dream big, you’re always gonna be broke… or have a lot of sh-t. But I don’t have no money for nobody else. That’s what you call broke. But that’s what it is.”

In 2022, a court ordered Dash to pay $800,000 in a 2019 copyright infringement and defamation case from Webber and MWP.

The suit alleged that Dash attempted to portray himself as part of their “Dear Frank” project, despite the plaintiffs’ claim that he was dropped in 2018 and no formal contract was ever executed.

Shortly after, officials announced that Dash’s Roc-A-Fella Records ownership stake — valued at approximately $1.2 million — would be auctioned off to help satisfy his mounting debts.

New York State ultimately assumed ownership of Dash’s share following a federal auction held on Nov. 14, 2024, a sale intended to recover $8.7 million in back taxes owed, AFROTECH™ noted.

Per the same report, the auction drew significant attention because the stake included partial ownership of JAY-Z’s debut album, “Reasonable Doubt,” and its associated songs, sparking interest from artists such as Drake and YoungBoy Never Broke Again.

“The auction is over, but the work is not complete,” Brown said at the time, AFROTECH™ reported. “Mr. Dash’s legacy is now New York state property. I will work with New York State and New York City as the next phase of ownership of the shares.”
