Curren$y Sues Damon Dash For Releasing Albums Without Permission

Curren$y has sued Damon Dash for releasing two of his albums without permission.

According to TMZ, Spitta and Dame attempted to negotiate a deal to release music via Bluroc Records in 2010, but the deal never went through. Dash released two of his albums that year, but failed to execute a contract. Curren$y then signed with Warner Bros. last year.

But after Curren$y signed with WBR, Dash continued to release his music, despite the fact that Spitta's new label had exclusive rights to his music. Curren$y is suing Dash for $1.5 million in damages and demands that he stop profiting off of him in any way.

Dash has already filed a response to the suit, claiming that he has the legal right to release his albums and was given permission. He also states that Curren$y screwed him over by ignoring their agreement and instead signing with WBR. A judge is yet to rule on the matter.
