The battle between rap mogul and former Jay-Z business partner Damon Dash and his baby's mother rages on.
According to TMZ, Linda Williams has filed a petition against Dash, claiming that their 16-year-old son Damon Dash II, aka "Boogie," lived with no hot water or electricity for two months in his bedroom. She also says that Dash took their teen to the morgue to identify the body of an uncle who'd committed suicide with a bullet to the head and failed to pay $3,600 for basketball camp. In addition, Williams fears the Roc-A-Fella founder will renege on a promise to put $10 million away in a trust fund for Junior.
It's not the first issue the millionaire mogul has had with money, or the first challenge he's faced with "Boogie's" custody.
Dash hocked his 25 percent stake in Rocawear for a reported $30 million back in '05, but he was still in the hole more than $2 million to the state of New York over a tax debt in 2007. He sued his accountant for $3.5 mil. that same year, claiming the tax man had submitted several years' worth of erroneous tax returns on his behalf.
This newest court development also marks one in a lengthy list of appearances over the last several years. Dash and Williams have a rocky history and have been in and out of court in an ongoing custody war.
Dash won custody of their then 14-year-old son in 2002, but in '06, Williams and her father both petitioned for visitation.
Just three months before that, Dash had been cleared of assault allegations made by Williams, who claimed the Harlem bred entrepreneur smacked her when they met over their son at a public park in uptown NYC.
Now, Williams is claiming that their son is "at imminent risk and living in an unstable home with no structure or supervision," according to the petition.
No word yet from Dash's camp.
