Damon Dash Arrested For Over $400K In ‘Unpaid Child Support’

Music mogul Damon Dash was arrested on Wednesday afternoon — accused of owing more than $400,000 in child support.

Dash, who is best known for founding Roc-A-Fella records with Jay-Z, was led into Bronx Family Court in cuffs after two felony warrants were issued for his arrest, the New York City Sheriff’s Office confirmed.

“We’ve been looking to arrest him since 2015,” NYC Sheriff Joseph Fucito said, confirming the former record executive was nabbed in Manhattan without incident.

Authorities have spent the last four years trying to convince Dash to turn himself in after he fled New York, one law enforcement source said.

The 49-year-old is accused of owing hundreds of thousands of dollars in child support to his two baby mamas but says he is broke — filing legal documents last week claiming he has no income.

The sheriff’s office confirmed the arrest warrants were issued in relation to the $404,000 in child support that Dash owed to ex-wife Rachel Roy and baby mama Cindy Morales.

In April 2015, Bronx County Family Court issued an arrest warrant for Dash after ordering him to pay $62,000 to Morales.

This year, a Supreme Court divorce warrant was issued for Dash after he was found guilty of contempt of court and was ordered to pay $342,000.

But in a filing in Manhattan federal court last week, Dash said his personal income was “virtually nonexistent” and claimed his only revenue stream was payments from “Empire” creator Lee Daniels who owed him $2 million.

Dash, a father of three, said he was facing additional unexpected expenses because his current fiancee, Raquel Horn, was pregnant.

In November, Daniels and Dash settled a $2 million feud over claims Dash was cut out of producer credits and profits on the hit series — with Daniels agreeing to pay the music producer in installments.

But in his Manhattan filing, Dash said the money hadn’t been forthcoming.
