People on here just be typing to type, lol. And don’t know sh*t about how this works.
Dame has been holding on to the shares because he's felt they're worth way more than what Jay was offering before. Hov didn't want Dame selling them to an outsider, so he offered to cop them directly from Dame. Back then, Dame said he knows what they're worth so he's not selling them at a discount. He's accumulated some debt that he hasn't been able to cover. So typically, when you don’t have the cash, they go after your viable assets.
This is a very viable asset. So he can get the kinda bread he'd like for his shares, cover his debt, and most likely, still be able to pocket something once he's out of the red. Whatever he gets for the shares themselves will be way more than what his current debt is, that he's being asked to settle. So this is definitely a W for Dame. It's just sad that he's in a position where he's being forced to do it, and it's not by choice.
