Dame Dash dropped a bombshell during a recent interview on America Nu Network, claiming that Drake once offered $6 million to acquire his stake in Roc-A-Fella Records, which includes rights to JAY-Z’s legendary album, Reasonable Doubt. Despite the lucrative offer, Dash says Drake ultimately backed out of the deal, leaving him puzzled.

“I thought that more people would be interested in buying it because of the art value of it,” Dash said, explaining his expectations for the sale. “Because of how everyone portrays that they love this dude, if they really loved him like that, I thought some collector like the Wu-Tang thing. Wu-Tang is loved. People really value them a certain way… There was no love.”

Dash then revealed Drake’s surprising exit from the negotiations. “Drake put in a bid for $6 million, but then he disappeared. I don’t know what happened,” he stated. The claim quickly made waves on social media, with fans speculating why the deal never materialized.

One X/Twitter user theorized, “Or maybe he told everybody back off so it could be sold for cheap so you would still be scrambling to pay off the immense debt you’re still in. Just a thought.” Another added, “Nobody dropping 10m and only have the rights for 7 years.. album is trash anyways.”

This isn’t the first time Dash has spoken about Drake’s interest. Back in September, he hinted at the bid while discussing Drake’s feud with Kendrick Lamar. “Drake hollered at me through a DM and made an offer. I’m not quite sure what happened. But I thought that he had got with Jay on something, but I don’t know,” Dash mentioned at the time.

Dash’s latest comments come in the wake of the New York state government stepping in to purchase his Roc-A-Fella shares for $1 million at auction. The sale was part of an effort to recover $8.7 million Dash allegedly owes in back taxes.
