Dame Dash has been given seven days to hand over the archives that were included in the $550,000 sale of his life rights at an auction last month.
In a court order obtained by Complex, Dame must hand over all archival materials, which includes “100 hours of video content, photographs, and memorabilia,” to Everlasting Films, LLC within seven days. The Roc-a-Fella co-founder will also surrender “an unreleased, in-development documentary/film project” as part of the sale of his life rights.
The order states Everlasting Films, LCC or trustee Traci K. Stevenson could seek enforcement if Dame does not comply.
Stevenson filed a request earlier this year to auction off Dash’s life rights, with the proceeds going to his debtors. Two days after the winning bid was announced, Dame’s attorney Mark S. Roher filed an objection, arguing that anything acquired by Dash after he filed for bankruptcy in Sept. 2025 should not be included in the sale.
Dame claimed in his bankruptcy filing that he had $25 million in debts and personal assets, totaling $4,350.
Roher also sought a guarantee that Dash would not be “obligated to communicate or otherwise assist or participate in any manner” with Everlasting Films, LLC. “Otherwise, the Debtor will be unable to get a fresh start and could be subjected to potentially a lifetime of involuntary servitude to the purchaser,” he said.
Dame later claimed in an interview with Art of Dialogue that Everlasting Films, LLC. could have reached out to him directly if they wanted to buy his life rights for a documentary.
"I'm flattered that my life rights mean so much," he said. "I'm flattered that the intention is to make a movie about me that must have a bigger budget than the life rights unless they're dumb. I'm flattered that now I get to really fight for something that, if it did happen, would appear to be unconstitutional. I'm flattered that everyone's talking about it."
