AceShowbiz - Producer/director Josh Webber is suing music mogul Damon Dash for comments he made that allegedly cost the filmmaker a $6 million (£4.5 million) deal.
Webber is suing Dash for defamation and believes the rap boss owes him $7 million (£5.2 million) for remarks he made online.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, the filmmaker claims he lost a $6 million investment on a project "which specifically references the actions of Dash as the reason the contract was terminated".
Webber also claims to have lost another $275,000 (£206,500) gig and he is also suing Dash on behalf of his company, Muddy Water Pictures, a dollar for each of the music producer's 535,000 Instagram followers.
