First Damon Dash posted a video on Instagram of himself confronting Director Lee Daniels at a Diana Ross concert about owing him $2 M. Now Dash has filed a $5 M lawsuit against Daniels for breach of contract over a Richard Pryor biopic.
Even though the biopic was never made, Dash claims the director shafted him from receiving producer credits on the biopic.
According to the suit filed on Tuesday, Daniels dropped the project before its completion. “Although Mr. Daniels did in fact become a writer, director and producer of the ‘Pryor Film’ as per numerous industry publications, Defendants never informed Plaintiff of the film’s progress, or made any commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the EP consideration (including alternative, mutually-agreed upon, comparable consideration) that he was legally obligated to secure. Furthermore, it has been commonly reported amongst reputable sources that Mr. Daniels unilaterally departed from the ‘Pryor Film’ ultimately ending the production.”
Here is the video Dash posted on Instagram. Dash states that he gave Daniels $2 million to pay for his dream of being a director and he never paid him back.
“I straight up loaned this dude Lee Daniels @theoriginalbigdaddy 2 million to pay for his dream of being a director…it was the money I was using to fund my movies and stay Indy…he promised I get my money back in months…then he makes precious and goes missing so he doesn’t have to pay me.”
Lee Daniels just pay the man!
