EXCLUSIVE: Damon Dash’s Engagement Ring Targeted By Plaintiffs Suing Him

It looks like Damon Dash isn’t getting a break from the parties suing him.

According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, plaintiffs Josh Webber and Muddy Water Pictures, who filed a lawsuit against the Roc-A-Fella Records’ co-founder in 2019, want his engagement ring to hit the auction block.

Their attorney, Christopher L. Brown, wrote a letter to Honorable Robert Lehrbuger in the Southern District of New York stating the piece of jewelry should go to auction in an effort to settle Dash’s debt with the plaintiffs. The ring was given to Dash by his fiancée, Raquel Horn.

“This office is counsel to the Plaintiffs in this matter,” the docs read. “Plaintiffs Josh Webber and Muddy Water Pictures LLC d/b/a Muddy Water Pictures, Inc. I write to supplement the record in regard to jewelry owned by Damon Dash for the upcoming hearing on January 22, 2025.

“Attached is a December 2021 article containing statements from Damon Dash relating to ownership of an ‘engagement ring’ gifted to him by Raquel Horn. See Exhibit A Dame Dash On His Fiancée Giving Him An Engagement Ring: ‘I Loved It.’ The ‘engagement ring’ is owned by Dash and subject to public auction.”

The AllHipHop article mentioned by Brown includes an interview with Dash, who said about the ring, “I loved it. It was beautiful.” He added, “She had already accepted my engagement. We’ve asked each other to marry each other so many times, but it’s my tax problems. We are almost there. We have a baby and we are so in love. It just goes without saying.”

The plaintiffs have targeted Dash’s jewelry before. On January 1, they submitted a request to Lehrburger, asking the judge for a court order to auction off his collection. The pieces of jewelry include: one gold necklace, one gold “Dame” necklace, one gold “Dusko” necklace, one gold watch, three gold rings for the hand, two Roc-A-Fella necklaces, one set of diamond earrings and one set of gold earrings.

The money would go to settling two outstanding judgments totaling $823,284.71. The plaintiffs are also seeking an order requiring Dash to produce corporate ownership documents related to his businesses—Lebanon Improvements LLC, Ocean East Improvements LLC, 1996 Songs LLC, and Blackroc LLC—and deliver them to the United States Marshal.
