“Still D.R.E.” Is Claimed Apolitical In The Wake Of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Twitter Video

Hip-hop legend Dr. Dre is definitely “Still D.R.E.,” but doesn’t want Republican U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene reminding everyone. Dre sent her a cease and desist after she used “Still D.R.E.” in a social media video post. The artist’s lawyers are demanding MTG stops using Dre’s music.

“Still D.R.E.” Background Music For MTG?

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene used “Still D.R.E.” in a Twitter video as the attention-seeking GOP member walked to the House floor in the clip, and 1999 hit played in the background. The composition with no lyrics in the clip, just the instrumental version. Greene’s video took place during the 15th and final session of the vote for the House Speaker. 

The clip also showed Greene making her infamous phone call to Former President Donald Trump, which is said to have helped GOP Rep. Kevin McCarthy gain the title of Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. Greene was a big supporter of McCarthy in his days-long vote to become Speaker of the House. 

“[Dre]… Will Never Grant [Greene] Permission…”

The Compton native said he does not license music to politicians, especially someone as divisive as Miss. Greene. His lawyer — Howard King — also sent a letter obtained by TMZ saying, “[Dr. Dre] has not, and will never grant you permission to broadcast or disseminate any of his music.”

Dr. Dre, also known as Andre Young, made sure his legal team got Twitter to block her post. The platform also locked her account.

King has set a deadline for the cease and desist. Greene must comply with the demands before January 11 by 5pm EST. 

Greene: QAnon Promoter

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who represents the 14th congressional Georgia district, supports the conspiracy theory QAnon and has alleged ties in white nationalist circles. 

The Republican Representative even said she would have “won” the January 6 Capitol attack if she had planned it with Former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon.

“There are false reports out regarding ownership by Death Row of Dr. Dre,” Kind said. “Dr. Dre owns 100 percent of “The Chronic.””

The same statement completely denies Snoop Dogg’s comments claiming he owned the debut album. 

Snoop said he had reached an agreement to take over Death Row in February, days before his Super Bowl halftime show.

Figuring Out “The Chronic” Owner

Snoop Dog also had an interview with Chief Content Editor Elliott Wilson for Tidal Magazine on Friday. He said he owns the albums “Murder Was The Case,” “Dogg Food,” and, of course, “The Chronic.” 

“Same with Dr. Dre and “The Chronic.” I got “The Chronic” album.” Snoop continued, “I got “Doggystyle,” “Tha Doggfather,” “Murder Was the Case,” “Dogg Food,” “Above the Rim.” I got all those records.”

According to the same interview, The rapper was also confident that he would reach an agreement with Pac. 

“I got a great relationship with his estate, and I’m pretty sure we’re going to be able to work something out,” he claimed. “Continue some Death Row 2Pac business now that Snoop Dogg is in control of Death Row.”

As evidence, Snoop also posted a recent photo on Instagram showing Death Row Masters archives a couple hours ago.

Dr. Dre Hangs Out With Paul McCartney: “I’m chillin with one of the f***ing Beatles!”

If you’ve ever wanted to see a meeting of minds in casual wear, look no further. On Wednesday, (December 15) legendary rap mogul Dr. Dre shared a photo of himself on Instagram. Joining him, arm draped around his shoulder, was the near-mythical Sir Paul McCartney. So what’s up with The Mechanic and The Beatle? Oh, just hanging out, as one does.

The Doctor and The Beatle

The two titans appeared to be hanging out on a couch in Dre’s home. Both in casual wear, the two smiled as Dre took a selfie. The caption on the Instagram photo reads: “Here with one of my heroes!! Paul McCartney is cool AF!! I’m chillin with one of the f***ing Beatles!!” No context given, just two guys hanging out on a Wednesday evening. Posted up with some drinks and a fat stack of records, it’s a boys night at Dre’s place.

Dre at work

It’s unclear if McCartney will be part of Dre’s long-awaited follow-up to 2015’s Compton. Dre himself has been hard at work this year. In the last few months, the 56-year old has collaborated with Eminem and London on Da Track. While there is no word yet a project with London, a snippet of Dre and Eminem’s new track popped up last Monday. Officially a part of Grand Theft Auto: Online, the video game update will feature the Dre-Eminem track, as well as music by Snoop Dogg, Anderson .Paak, Busta Rhymes, DJ Pooh, and more.

The knight goes hip-hop

McCartney is no stranger to hip-hop royalty. Back in 2015, the Beatle was featured on Kanye West’s single “Only One”, a sweet, barebones track dedicated to West’s mother, Dr. Donda West. At the same time, the knight and Ye joined up the Barbadian National Hero, Rihanna to release the smash hit, “FortyFiveSeconds”. The song peaked at No. 4 on US Billboard Hot 100, reaching number one on numerous international charts.

Dr. Dre Served Divorce Papers at Grandmothers Funeral

Dr. Dre Served Divorce Papers at Grandmothers Funeral

The legendary Hip-Hop billionaire Dr. Dre’s battle with his estranged wife Nicole Young has escalated. The already ugly proceedings took an ugly turn as Dre was served with divorce papers at his grandmother’s funeral.

According to the report, Dre was standing next to his grandmother’s coffin. On the other hand, Nicole claims he was served in the cemetery parking lot. Dre was never in the parking lot, according to numerous staffers at the Inglewood Park Cemetery, who all corroborated the same thing: he pulled up on the roadway within the cemetery near his grandmother’s gravesite.

An Ugly Divorce Gets Uglier

Nicole Young’s lawyer expenses and the judge’s ultimate order of $1.5 million are also in the filings. Sources from TMZ claim that a little more than $300,000 has been paid at this time. However, Dre claims that the entire sum has been paid. According to Young, the remaining balance is $1,224,567.

In June 2020, Young filed for divorce from the legendary producer, stating infidelity with three distinct mistresses and having a child from one of the relationships that date back to 2013.

Dre was ordered to pay Young roughly $300,000 in spousal support each month by a judge in July. Unless the court determines differently, the former NWA member will have to maintain paying his ex until she remarries or enters into a domestic partnership.

The estranged couple, who have a son, Truice, 24, and a daughter, Truly, 20, have been unable to reach an agreement on how to divide Dre’s estimated $800 million fortune.

According to DJ Battlecat’s recent Instagram post, the Beats By Dre CEO will soon release his highly awaited solo album. It will be his first album since 2015’s “Compton”.

Dr. Dre Gives Estranged Wife $2 Million

Dr. Dre Gives Estranged Wife $2 Million to Cover Living Expenses

Dre has attempted not to give his estranged wife $2 million, but if there’s a will, there is a way. In light of his hospitalization, Dr. Dre Wednesday missed his divorce case hearing to allow for his recovery. Their official divorce started in June 2020; a constant back and forth went on to settle the amount given to his wife. As they settle their divorce, Dre has been providing his estranged wife with $293,306 a month for living expenses.

Dr. Dre Gives Estranged Wife $2 Million

Moreover, Dre believes it’s more than enough, but Nicole Young thinks otherwise.  This whole case has brought a lot of attention to the two, especially when last year in October, Dre’s business partner filed a report against Nicole for embezzlement. In court, there is evidence of her withdrawing $353,571.85 in August, but her legal team believed it to be a PR stunt from Aundre (Dr. Dre). This accusation came after she attempted to approve her $1.9 million request a month but was denied.

Dr. Dre Gives Estranged Wife $2 Million to Cover Living Expenses

As time passed, she was able to wait it out and officially raise the bar. She believes that $2 million is more acceptable for her temporary spousal support, and she has even filed the documents. Nicole shares that Dre has more than enough to pay for the expenses based on the money he has in cash and what he achieved with Apple stock. Finally, legal documents share that Dre will now give his estranged wife $2 million to cover living expenses.
