Dame Dash, once a prominent figure in the music industry as the co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records alongside Jay-Z, has recently filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, revealing a staggering financial decline. According to Blavity, his former net worth of $50 million has now been reduced to just $100,000.

As reported by People, the documents also show that Dame Dash owes the government around $19.1 million in taxes and other debts. In addition, his domestic support liabilities exceed $647,000.

These debts are tied to some of his former partners, including his ex-wife Rachel Roy, with whom he shares daughters Ava and Tallulah, Cindy Morales, mother of his son Lucky, and Linda Williams, mother of his son Boogie. This mix of unpaid taxes, child support, and legal judgments underscores the complex and multifaceted nature of his financial predicament.

Besides these tax debts, he is undergoing some major legal judgments, such as an $823,000 debt in a copyright infringement lawsuit involving filmmaker Joshua Webber. These financial debts have already caused him to lose some of his most valuable assets, with the most notable being his ownership of Roc-A-Fella Records, which was auctioned for $1 million to cover outstanding back taxes.

Dash has also been accused of trying to hide assets to avoid liabilities. A December 2024 lawsuit alleged that he transferred assets between companies and redirected income streams in an effort to avoid paying a $100,000 judgment.

He has often pointed to his economic downfall as a result of his entrepreneurial spirit and noted that his business projects were ambitious and matched his vision, but failed to provide financial stability as he had expected.

The day after news of his bankruptcy surfaced, Dash uploaded a screenshot of a headline outlining his case on Instagram with the words:

“Now let’s get to work #staytuned.”

That same day, he also posted a video in which he talked about recent health issues as he hung out with his 4-year-old son, Dusko, whom he shares with his fiancée, Raquel Horn. In the video, Dash thanked fans for their well-wishes and announced that he recently had eye and dental surgery that turned out to be a success.

Bankruptcy may momentarily protect him against the action of creditors, but it does not absolve him of his debts. Having millions of dollars in taxes due, over $647,000 in domestic support arrears, and a variety of legal judgments, rebuilding his financial status will be a lengthy and difficult undertaking.
