It looks like Mo'Nique is no longer alone in her battle with Lee Daniels when it comes to money.
According to TMZ, Damon Dash confronted Lee Daniels at a Diana Ross concert at the Hollywood Bowl recently, letting him know in no uncertain terms he planned to hit the director and producer with a lawsuit.
Dash wrote about the matter on his Instagram on Tuesday, June 26:
"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 … then then Butler … empire … same sh*t Why does this dude feel like he doesn’t have to pay me? … why do I have to look crazy to get my money back … or go o court … ask @theoriginalbigdaddy why he doesn’t feel like he has to pay me even though he has it … what type of shit is this .. #paywhatyouowe," Dame Dash captioned the post. "I’m going to put this whole thing on my ig tv in a few … true definition of a culture vulture … eats off the culture but robs the culture at the same time … see you back in court Lee your gonna pay me what you owe … please everyone ask him way he doesn’t think he has to pay me … "
In the video, Daniels didn't seem to deny any of Dash's allegations and offered to discuss further at a later time.
This isn't the first time Dash claimed to have money woes with Daniels. In 2014, the mogul sued the Empire creator for an unpaid loan. The two eventually settled in 2015, and this new suit stems from that agreement.
