The mothers of Damon Dash's children, to whom he owes considerable amounts in child support, have found a way to get their hands on his money.

The ladies are laying claim to the compensation Lee Daniels agreed to pay Dash - and the producer may never get to see a cent of it.

Daniels agreed to pay Dash $5 million in compensation.

LEE DANIELS AND DAMON DASH'S EXES MAKE A DEAL

Daniels and Dash's exes lawyer, Donnell Suares, have come to an amicable agreement through which Roy and Morales will be paid a stipulated amount every quarter until the sum of $950,000 is reached.

The final approval of the agreement is pending, and Dash's attorney may still try to throw a spanner in the works.

Dash shares daughters Ava, 19, and Tallulah, 11, with ex-wife Rachel Roy, and son Damon Dash II with Cindy Morales.

Dash and his fiancé Raquel Horn are currently expecting their first child together.

DAMON DASH CLAIMS DEBT FROM LEE DANIELS

In 2015, Damon Dash invested $2 million into a Lee Daniels project to make a Richard Pryor biopic.

Daniels was to direct the film, and in return for his investment, Dash would get co-executive producing credit and 5% of the profits.

Unfortunately, the project fell through, and Dash never saw a cent in profit, or the original investment capital again.

Dash sued Daniels for his money, and the two men came to an agreement. Daniels agreed to pay Dash $5 million in compensation.
