Ha the situation sounds funny for several reasons:
1) If you giving $2M to someone, you either doing it outta love (w/ no reciprocity) or you giving it as a loan. If you giving the $ out of love - Jay loaned $20M to Kanye - you normally don't ask for the $ back. If you trying to help someone out - and want that $ back - you better come to a damn agreement in writing. It ain't about "honor" or "street code" when we talkin' $2 million. That's hustlin backwards Dame.
2) The timing is funny too. Dame could have asked for the $ back in 2009 or 2010 or 2011. But he was also fighting a custody case with his baby moms and it's not in his best interest to show that he has income. Hmm.....
3) Dame thought by asking for the $$ via that stupid barber's YT page, Lee Daniels would come speak to him. Bruh
4) Speaking of asking for the $$$ back in 2009.... maybe he didn't want to pay Curren$y or anyone else back then, including his baby mamas.....
5) Dame did this for the 'gram.
6) Dame could speak to Lee Daniels in private..... but really there's a reason why people can only deal with him in doses.
7) Imagine if old Roc artists from 2002-2003 start finessin' Dame for that redirected $ budgeted for their albums...
8) Nice publicity stunt for the "culture vultures" project......
9) Dame could sue Lee Daniels, but I think it would have to be in NY when the original "transaction" was agreed to. Problem is Dame can't go back to NY b/c there's still outstanding child support cases.... which is why he hasn't been back to NY since the Breakfast Club interview
Look I hope this gets settled, but the full-force sympathy seems a bit out of hand honestly.
