Damon Dash Ordered to Pay $4 Million to Director in Defamation Lawsuit

Damon Dash is getting hit where it hurts — in his pockets — because he’s been ordered to cough up several million dollars in a lawsuit filed by an old nemesis.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the movie and music producer was just hit with a $4 million default judgment in Josh Webber‘s defamation suit against him.

Webber filed the suit back in April 2024, claiming he lost out on a $4-million producing and directing gig because of some defamatory comments Damon made about him on a podcast.

On the podcast, Webber claims Damon said … “I had a judgment. And I knew this d***head Chris Brown and Josh Webber and Muddy Waters … Chris Brown the lawyer. I went through four trials with the same lawyer … What I lost was defamation because these guys trigger me and steal my s*** … you think there is freedom of speech, it’s really not.”

Damon was referencing a previous legal battle with Webber over “Dear Frank” … which, as we first reported, resulted in DD being ordered to pay Webber and the movie’s producers over $800,000.

As for the defamation suit, Webber says the podcast clip racked up hundreds of thousands of views online and claims he was told the $4 million gig was canceled due to “Dash’s accusations of theft.”
