Dame Dash says Drake made an offer on his share of the rights to JAY-Z's debut album Reasonable Doubt.

The co-founder of Roc-a-Fella Records sat down for a nearly hour-long interview with his America Nu Network on Monday, September 16. At one point in the discussion, Dash shared his thoughts about the beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar ahead of Lamar's performance at the Super Bowl. He suggested Drake should show up to the game in a Roc-a-Fella chain before he revealed that the Canadian rapper reached out to him with an offer for his 1/3 share of the company.

"You know Drake hollered at me through DM and made an offer," Dash said. "I'm not quite sure what happened, but I thought that he had got with Jay or something. But I don't know. It would be a good time to close. But if you got it. I wouldn't do it if you didn't get it. But you know if you want to own Reasonable Doubt. If you want to own a third of it, you have to say that at the board meetings for at least the next seven years and make money off of it."

Dash said other celebrities were interested in purchasing his share, but Drake was the only one to submit an offer to him. Despite his claim, the music executive has no control over who can purchase his share. According to Rolling Stone, the scheduled auction is spearheaded by the U.S. Marshal Service and attorney Christopher Brown, who represented plaintiff Josh Webber who previously won a $823,000 judgment against Dash. The auction will help satisfy the payments due to Webber as well as $10 million in child support and other debts.

Whoever buys Dash's share in Roc-a-Fella will own the rights to Reasonable Doubt for seven years. JAY-Z will automatically assume ownership of his first studio album in 2031. As of this report, Drake himself has not confirmed Dash's claim.
