Jay-Z is accused of 'poisoning' ex-business partner Damon Dash's auction of Reasonable Doubt copyright by New York City


A new party has gotten involved in Jay-Z's ongoing feud with his former business partner Damon Dash: the City of New York.

Jay-Z had previously claimed through his legal team that Dash's stake of the album would revert back to him in 2031, but New York City has disputed that date in its filing. 'The auction should be conducted in a manner that will bring the highest price for the benefit of affected judgment creditors,' attorney Gerald E. Singleton wrote in his filing. He added that Jay-Z's contract with Roc-A-Fella describes his album Reasonable Doubt as 'work made for hire,' which would allegedly allow the label — and therefore whoever Dash sells his stake to — to retain the copyright until 2098.
