Damon Dash Looks To Collect On Loan To Lee Daniels

Damon Dash is going after Lee Daniels once again, this time for shorting him out of a movie producer credit and some big time cash, according to a new lawsuit.

The Roc-A-Fella mogul claims Daniels promised to try to get him on as an executive producer for a Richard Pryor biopic along with 5 percent on Daniels’ back-end profits. According to the docs, Daniels bailed on the project and did not deliver on his promises.

Dash, who is suing for $5 million, was seen confronting Daniels at a Diana Ross show at the Hollywood Bowl last week, informing him he’s about to hit him with another lawsuit if he doesn’t get paid soon.

Daniels seemed to agree he was in the wrong. As we reported, Dash sued Daniels in 2014 over an alleged loan that went unpaid and this new suit stems from a settlement agreement the two struck in 2015.
