Hip-hop mogul Dame Dash has reportedly auctioned off his life rights for $550,000. The sale was a result of Dash’s ongoing bankruptcy issues. The rap icon won’t receive any of the revenue, as it will all go to repay his creditors.

According to Complex, on Oct. 21, 2026, a trustee managing the Roc-a-Fella co-founder’s bankruptcy process served notice that the auction was complete. The trustee reported the life rights sale to a Florida court that has been supervising Dashing’s bankruptcy.

The winning bid was Everlasting Films, LLC. The company paid $550,000 for exclusive, global rights to Dame’s life story. The deal also included “100 hours of video content, photographs, and memorabilia.”
