TMZ: Lee Daniels to Cover the $950K Damon Dash Allegedly Owes in Back Child Support
Damon Dash's woes over child support may have just gotten worse as his baby mamas lay claim to his million-dollar settlement.
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.

DAMON DASH'S EXES GO AFTER THE LOOT
Unfortunately for Dash, who has already been forced to pay out a hefty sum after he was arrested for failing to comply with his child support obligations, the ladies had a brilliant idea.
Dash still owes Rachel Roy and Cindy Morales a hefty $950k and they have decided to cut Dash out of the loop, and sue Lee Daniels for the money.

Earlier this year, Daniels and Dash had come to an agreement in which the "Empire" creator agreed to pay out $5 million to settle a lawsuit the producer had filed against him.

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

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.
