F*ck with Dre Day. And everybody’s ligatin’.
Dr. Dre is filing legal action against his former label, Death Row Records, claiming that he is owed $3 million in unpaid royalties.
From Radar:
The “Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang” singer said the number comes from unpaid amounts of $676,444.44 for unpaid mechanical royalties; $1,200,386.57 in unpaid artist-producer royalties; and $1,179,913 in digital sales he has yet to collect on. (The third total stems from a judge’s suggestion to the artist after he lost a 2010 trademark infringement suit.)
In legal docs, the Compton native, 48, also alludes to a discrepancy in the payments he received from the company, as he said they have yet to honor a bonus that would jump his revenues from Death Row Album sales from 18 percent to 20.
Paging Mr. Suge Knight.
