Ahead of the Dame Dash has taken to his Instagram to promise an original Roc-A-Fella chain to anyone who is willing to bid a minimum of $10 million USD for his one-third share in the legendary label. In the video posted to social media, Dame said that only he possessed any of the real Roc-A-Fella chains and any official one had to go through him first. According to him, he was the only one to hand them out, name dropping artists like Ye who received the train directly off his neck.
Dame is selling his one-third ownership share in Roc-A-Fella which contains the rights to JAY-Z‘s debut album Reasonable Doubt. His announcement comes after JAY filed a notice that the rights to the album would go back the artist in 2031. Dame clarified to potential buyers that a piece of the company was on sale, not the copyright. This means that whoever buys the share of the company will own the rights to the album and still be able to make a revenue off the album for the next seven years before it goes back to Hov, as stated in his first contract with the label.
In the video announcement regarding the chain, Dame is asking for serious inquiries only, “If you do wanna buy one-third of Roc-A-Fella Inc. you are gonna have to bring some bread, and anything over 10 million, I’m gonna sweeten the pot. You get an original Roc-A-Fella chain from off my neck. ‘Cause I was the only one that gave out Roc-A-Fella chains when Roc-A-Fella really existed. If I don’t give you the chain it’s not a legit Roc-A-Fella chain. You get one of these, this is legit. This is the old-school one from off my neck. You know like when I took one off my neck and gave one to Kanye, Cam’ron, all that.” He added, “So, again, if you’re gonna call, please have the intention of spending some real money and actually completing the transaction. But if you come with the right amount of money, you’re gonna get a chain, or at least you’ll have to battle the homeboy on the first right of refusal.”
