D amon Dash  is broke ... and he says so. Dash filed legal docs in an ongoing business lawsuit in which he owes $2,400. Dash says he doesn't have the dough. He says he has no salary and depends solely on his business to make income, but the biz is making zero profits so he can't pay. Dash says the only revenue stream he has is from  Lee Daniels , who owed him $2 million. We posted video last year of  Dash confronting Daniels  at a  Diana Ross  concert, demanding payment.

He says, "My income streams have all been garnished ... and it is very difficult to address the mounting bills until I receive some relief from the courts." This isn't the first sign of financial trouble. Dash filed legal docs in September asked the judge  to termi...

The stations serve small to mid-sized cities (spanning markets ranked No. 79 to No. 188 in the U.S.) and have network affiliations with ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox.
