Dame Dash's Ex- GF Calls Him A Dead Beat Dad

Linda Williams, former girlfriend and mother of music mogul Damon Dash’s 19-year-old son, recently spoke to RadarOnline about her the father of her child, calling him a “dead-beat dad”.

According to Linda, she is currently entangled in a court battle with Damon over the $425 a week support payments that he was ordered to pay to help raise their son, including funding for his college education. The payments are currently backdated and should have begun on May 27, 2010.

“I just want Damon Dash to do the right thing by his son and pay his support and help me get him in college.[...] My son got into Five Towns College in Dix Hills, NY, on a $30,000 scholarship recently to do music, but his father did not want him to go even though it would not have cost him anything.
“He keeps telling him ‘tell your mom to drop the child support case and get out of court’ when my son just wants to be a normal teenager and go to college. His father recently set him up with some DJ gigs in New York, and I’m worried that he will fall in with a bad crowd and gets involved with drugs and alcohol.
“My son loves music and ideally he could do both. He does not hate his father or anything like that, but he wants more guidance from him. His father has the money he just needs to do the right thing by his son.”

Damon, who was once estimated to have a net worth of $50 million, was originally ordered to pay Linda $3,766.67 per month in child support back in 1999. Back in April 2010, a judge threatened Damon with jail and said she would seize his business licenses if he didn’t comply with previous rulings and start paying up. He was also ordered to pay for his son’s summer camp, tutoring fees, private school tuition, karate lessons, guitar lessons plus the quarterly sum of $1,000 for vacation expenses also.

Damon has had some financial problems in the last few years, with two of his multi-million dollar lofts in Manhattan going into foreclosure due to non-payment on the $78,500 per month leases.

According to the State of New Jersey’s Division of Taxation, he is currently the second biggest debtor to the state, owing $23,073,227.56 in back taxes to New York and New Jersey.

Wow!!! Even with the evidence of Damon’s financial problems, Linda doesn’t believe that he is broke:

“At our last court appearance he admitted that he was paying between $10,000 and $12,000 per month for his home in Up-State New York, plus he has an art gallery and recording studio in Manhattan, so, he’s hardly broke.”

Though Linda and Damon for 10 years, the couple never married and the two currently don’t communicate at all. Damon also has two children with ex-wife and fashion designer, Rachel Roy.
