Thursday, January 11, 2024 – American entrepreneur and record executive, Damon Dash is asking for a reduction in the amount of child support the court awarded his ex-wife Rachel Roy to care for their youngest daughter because he made less than $6,000 in 2022.
The 52-year-old music executive and the 49-year-old fashion
designer, are parents to two daughters: model Ava Dash, 24, and Tallulah
Dash, 15. The pair were married from 2005-2009.
He is also father to son Dame 'Boogie' Dash, 32, with ex
Linda Williams; son Lucky, 19, with ex Cindy Morales; and three-year-old son
Dusko with fiancée Raquel Horn.
The Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder is currently paying
around $3,000 monthly in child support for Tallulah, TMZ reported
Tuesday after reviewing court documents.
He said in court docs that the most he can afford to pay on
a monthly basis is $428, according to the outlet.
The New York City native referred to ongoing
'struggling business ventures' as a reason for his lack of income, the outlet
reported.
Dash said he has been unable to earn at the level he was
accustomed to since the coronavirus pandemic struck nearly four years
ago.
He told the court that he made $5,140 in 2022, illustrating
how his earnings have plummeted in recent years.
In a response filed with the court, Roy said that Dash was
not fully forthcoming about his earnings in his statement to the court, TMZ
reported.
She said that he continues to profit off his considerable
share of Roc-A-Fella Records and other lucrative business endeavors he was not
including in his accounting to the court.
A judge is slated to rule on the case, according to the
outlet.
Dash has past had legal issues stemming from child support,
as he was arrested in New York City in November of 2019 in connection
with $404,000 in unpaid child support to Roy and Morales.
Dash subsequently appeared on Good Day New York, where
he said that his arrest was the result of 'a set-up.'
Said Dash: 'It's all about business. It's about these
lawyers, they try to manipulate things and they don't care if they ruin your
life.'
Dash said that Roy was in control of the child support
payment disbursements at the time, and ‘what she would do is not pay the child
support, step down as manager, and never correct the situation.’
He added: 'The way I had the child support situated it would
go into the company - Rachel Roy - she was the manager of the company, and she
would pay the child support.'
