Damon Dash could lose the rights to his cult-classic film State Property and other prized assets as a California court weighs a request to auction off his intellectual property and personal belongings due to years of legal defiance in a bitter lawsuit with filmmaker Josh Webber.

Webber and his company, Muddy Water Pictures, are asking the court to authorize the sale of Dash’s assets—including copyrights to films like State Property, Honor Up, and Mr. Untouchable—to recover unpaid legal fees and damages.

The plaintiffs say Dash and his companies, including Poppington LLC and Dash Films Inc., have repeatedly ignored court orders to turn over financial documents and other discovery materials since 2019.

According to court filings, Damon Dash’s noncompliance has persisted despite prior monetary sanctions.

Plaintiffs argue that harsher penalties are necessary, including the forced sale of his intellectual property and personal items such as Roc-A-Fella chains, an engagement ring, and a collection of gold and diamond jewelry.

The court is being asked to compel Dash to hand over all relevant documentation, including operating agreements and ownership records, so the U.S. Marshal can proceed with the asset sale.
