Ultimate Hustler was an American reality show broadcast on Black Entertainment Television. The show featured Damon Dash training 16 ordinary people to become a "hustler" and make money. Based on its premise, the show has been described as a hip-hop version of The Apprentice. People claim that the show was stolen from two up-and-coming producers, John Coleman and John Rhodes. The pair recently filed a lawsuit against Dash, BET, Damon Dash Music Group, Dash Films and Huck Films.
The program was first broadcast on October 4, 2005, with the final episode on December 13, 2005, with Brian Rikuda winning the top prize.
