Damon Dash facing eviction over $100,000 rent debt
Beleaguered rap mogul Damon Dash is facing eviction from his New York home after falling $100,000 behind on his rent, a court has heard.
Dash was ordered to pay $240,000 to apparel boss Tom Nastos by a Manhattan Supreme Court judge on Thursday (09May13), plus an additional $90,000 in interest after allegedly failing to return a 2006 loan.
During the hearing, the music executive, who once co-owned
Roc-A-Fella Records and the Rocawear clothing line with Jay-Z,
revealed he had fallen into such a dire financial situation he was
close to being evicted from his rented home in Carmel, New York due
a massive rental debt.
In his filing for the court, he wrote, "I am currently several
months behind in paying my personal bills. For instance, I am
currently over $100,000 behind in rent for the only home in which I
live and at risk of being evicted."
Dash's documents also revealed he owes more than $2 million in
taxes to New York state and hands over $24,000 to his ex-wife,
fashion designer Rachel Roy, every three months in child support
for their two children.
