Dame Dash claims Drake offered $6 million for his Roc-A-Fella shares, but “disappeared.”

In a recent video uploaded to Dash’s America Nu Network YouTube page, the Harlem businessman talked about the controversial auction. “So, the auction happened yesterday and basically no one showed up,” he began. “Only Jay‘s lawyers, the state [of New York], and the crew that was initially suing me.” He then mentioned that he wasn’t there because it was his son’s birthday and that he “just wanted this thing to be done.”

According to the New York Post, the state of New York made a $1 million bid and won as they continue to try and collect the $8 million in back taxes Dash owes the state. “No one showed up,” Dame reiterated. “And the state made a bid for it and that’s really what it was worth.” He then continued by throwing some shade towards his former business partner Jay-Z, “What this really taught me was that, in the world, homie isn’t as big as he portrayed. I thought more people would be interested in buying it because of the art value of it. And that’s the only thing I was selling, because of how everyone portrays they love this dude… I thought people would at least show up. No one even showed up.”

Dash then revealed Drake made a hefty offer over DM, but went ghost. “At the end of the day, I don’t really understand it,” he said of the situation. “My child support, I guess, will get paid. And in my mind, I wasn’t getting any of that bread anyway. If I could sell it, I thought people really loved homeboy, pause, way more than they did. People did not show up. Drake did put a bid in for $6 million but then he disappeared. It’s in my DM… I don’t know what happened. But other than that, no serious people. No one wanted that sh—t. Period.”

Back in August, Dame offered an original Roc-A-Fella chain to anyone who bids over $10 million, but obviously that scenario never came to fruition. Also, there have been rumors swirling about whether or not Roc-A-Fella Inc.’s main asset Reasonable Doubt would eventually land in the hands of Jay-Z, ultimately scaring potential buyers off. However, a judge refused to give a ruling in that regard. “The asset that is the subject of the auction is Dash’s one-third interest in RAF [Roc-A-Fella] itself, not the work owned by RAF,” the judge wrote. “The Court does not presently have jurisdiction over the validity of Carter’s copyright termination notice.”

A federal judge ordered prosecutors Tuesday not to use papers taken from the jail cell of Sean “Diddy” Combs until he rules on defense claims that they are trial preparation materials protected by attorney-client privilege.

Judge Arun Subramanian made his ruling at a Manhattan federal court hearing after lawyers fiercely disputed the circumstances and relevance of the seizure of 19 pages that were photographed by an investigator inside the cell of the music mogul.

Combs, who has pleaded not guilty to all charges, is accused of coercing and abusing women for years with the aid of a network of associates and employees.

The seizure came during what the government has described as a multi-day sweep of all cells at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, intended to remove any weapons or contraband as an anti-violence measure.

Defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo said he may ask the judge to dismiss the indictment or force a recusal of prosecutors if the judge rules that the materials were obtained and used improperly.

Combs, who hugged his lawyers when he first entered the courtroom, carried a stack of papers as he was led away at the end of the hearing.

Agnifilo said he was unaware that the papers in Combs’ cell had been photographed by an investigator with the Bureau of Prisons and turned over to prosecutors until he saw them cited in written arguments opposing his $50 million bail proposal. A bail hearing is set for Friday.

He said two references to the papers were made as prosecutors argued that Combs has continued to commit crimes since his September arrest.

Prosecutors said Combs orchestrated social media campaigns aimed at tainting the jury pool, tried to publicly leak materials he thought would be helpful to his case and contacted potential witnesses through third parties.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Mary Slavik said the seized materials were scrutinized by independent government lawyers who are walled off from the prosecution to determine if they were protected by attorney-client privilege.

They were not discussed with defense lawyers because some of them were deemed to pertain to a covert and continuing investigation of Combs, she said.

Slavik also said prosecutors had no contact with jail officials beforehand and gave no instructions regarding any search of Combs’ cell.

Some of the photographed pages contained a to-do list and inspirational quotes along with comments about birthdays, according to Slavik, while two excerpts pertained to Combs paying and finding damaging material about potential witnesses.

Agnifilo said, however, that even things that seem unrelated to the case are protected by attorney-client privilege. For instance, he said, attorneys have discussed with Combs prospective witnesses they might call.

“Every single thing” in the seized papers is subject to attorney-client privilege because Combs discussed them with lawyers, Agnifilo said.

“The government now knows potential defense witnesses for a May 5 trial,” he added. “This has been a complete government failure.”

The judge asked each side to submit written arguments in the coming weeks.

Sabrina Carpenter unveiled the trailer for A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter on Netflix during the final night of her Short n’ Sweet U.S. tour in L.A. on Monday night.

“Christmas is coming early this year,” the pop star says at the beginning of the teaser. “I wouldn’t count on a silent night.”

Netflix previously announced plans for the special in September. The musical spectacular will feature a star-studded list of guests, including Chappell Roan, Tyla, Shania Twain, Kali Uchis, Quinta Brunson, Cara Delevingne, Kyle Mooney, Nico Hiraga, Megan Stalter, Sean Astin, Owen Thiele and Jillian Bell.

“It’s a nonsense holiday and we’re so here for it,” the logline reads, an homage to Carpenter’s famous song, “Nonsense.”

“In this special with musical guests, pop icon Sabrina Carpenter will perform songs from her holiday EP fruitcake and other iconic chart-topping holiday covers,” the release continues. “This special will also feature show-stopping music performances, comedic guests, unexpected duets, plus many more surprises and fun cameos.”

Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet tour began in September with a performance in Columbus, Ohio. Though U.S. leg concludes Monday night, it will start up in Europe next March.

A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter premieres on Netflix on Dec. 6 at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET. The show is produced by OBB Pictures and At Last Productions and directed by Sam Wrench. Nikki Boella is the showrunner.

Carpenter is hitting new heights on the Billboard charts. Her latest album, Short N’ Sweet, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 362,000 equivalent album units in its first week, marking her first chart-topping album. The album’s success extends to the Hot 100, where all 12 tracks charted, including standout singles “Taste” at No. 2, “Please Please Please,” and “Espresso.”

Notably, Carpenter joins the elite ranks of Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande by landing three songs in the top five simultaneously. Across the Atlantic, she made U.K. chart history as the female solo artist with the most combined weeks at No. 1 in a calendar year.
