Damon
Dash is slated to appear in court Sept. 28 in a custody battle between former
girlfriend Linda Williams over their son, Damon Dash Jr., now 14. Dash, 35, and
Williams became a couple in 1991, and never married. They
allegedly split in the mid 90’s, and their son remained in New Jersey under
William’s custody. In 2002, the CEO gained custody of his son, alleging that
his son no longer wanted to live with Williams. Williams
alleged that Dash’s influence on the boy was causing him to feel that way,
thus causing Williams to file the custody suit. Dash will appear in court over
an injunction filed by Williams requesting visitation rights. Independent
of Williams, her father allegedly petitioned for visitation rights to see his
grandson more often.In late 2004, Dash sold his interest in Roc-a-Fella Records
to parent company Island Def Jam Records for $10 million, along with the sale
of his share in Rocawear Clothing for $30 million to former business partner Jay-Z.Dash
also runs Damon Dash Music Group. His other businesses include a new clothing
line called CEO, Armadale Vodka, Dash Management, PRO-KEDS, Team Roc, Tiret Watches,
the Rachel Roy Clothing Line, and Dash/DiBella Boxing.
