Damon Dash And Jay-Z In Property Battle

The New York Post reports that last week, Damon Dash was expecting to buy Peter Arnell’s TriBeCa penthouse — with 10,000 square feet plus 4,000 square feet more of terraces — for $7.5 million. But before the contract could be signed, Arnell turned around and sold the place to Roc-A-Fella records partner Jay-Z for the same price, and allegedly cutting out the broker who was repping both music moguls, Corcoran’s Wilbur Gonzalez. So is there more beef to Damon and Jay-Z’s already rumored to be rocky relationship? “Yes, it’s true, I was trying to buy the apartment. But Jay had no idea I was trying to buy the apartment,” Dash said via his rep. “It seems like Peter was trying to get out of the fee. I am surprised he would compromise his integrity like that. He jeopardized any relationship we potentially could have had, to do business together. But I am fine with Jay.”
