DAMON DASH AND EX FIGHT OVER SON'S SCHOOLING: Plus, mom upset over mogul bringing underage son to club on New Year's Eve.
*The drama between hip-hop mogul Damon Dash and his ex-girlfriend Linda Williams forges on, reports the New York Post, with their 17-year-old son, Damon "Boogie" Jr., again stuck in the middle.
Boogie had lived with Dash in Manhattan since he was 8 and attended the Upper West Side's Dwight School, but he moved to his mother's Long Island home last summer to enroll in a school that fielded a football team. Last month, the teen went back to live with Dash, and Williams now says his father "refuses to enroll him back in school."
"Out of the blue, my son tells me he wants to live with his father," Williams told Page Six. "He left here Dec. 2 and hasn't been in school since."
A source close to Dash says Boogie should be back in school today now that the holiday break is over, and that the music impresario has been looking for a school for his son since he moved back in. The insider said, "A woman who had their son taken away years ago has no credibility. Damon was a single father, raising a boy on his own. Linda needs to leave him alone." Williams had sole custody of her son until Boogie was handed over to Dash in 2002.
Williams originally contacted Page Six last week in response to their story about Dash taking their son to The Plumm nightclub to deejay a New Year's Eve gig.
"A child should not be in an adult club that serves alcohol," she fumed. "Did anyone even check my son's ID? His father should stop trying to make a dollar off of him and get him back into high school."
Williams took Dash to court on Dec. 18, charging educational neglect. The next court date is next week.
"I'm happy for my son that he is pursuing [deejaying] but not at the expense of school," Williams said.
