Dame Dash Threatens Defamation Suit Against The Breakfast Club After Viral Interview

He argues an on-air jab about “dirty sneakers” became brand damage once clips spread through social platforms.

Overview

  • Damon “Dame” Dash says he plans to sue the radio show over comments made during his September 16 appearance, calling the remarks defamatory.
  • He says his team has issued demand letters tied to the dispute, including to iHeartMedia and to Chris Brown’s lawyer.
  • Dash contends the radio-only claim about his sneakers misled listeners and harmed his image once algorithmic sharing amplified the moment, while citing perceived guest-treatment bias referencing Ben Shapiro.
  • As of Tuesday, outlets report no court filings related to the claim and no public response from The Breakfast Club.
  • Dash has also pushed back on reports about his role at Revolt and, in separate coverage, one outlet reported he may seek up to $200 million in damages.
