According to #Billboard News, #PharrellWilliams and producer #ChadHugo, the duo behind #TheNeptunes, are entangled in a legal dispute over the group’s name. Hugo accuses Williams of attempting to seize sole control over the trademarks through fraudulent means. Before Williams embarked on a solo career, The Neptunes delivered a string of radio hits in the early 2000s for artists like Nelly, Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani, and Justin Timberlake. Despite their close friendship and joint induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2022, Hugo’s legal team alleges that Williams’ company is violating their longstanding agreement by unilaterally trademarking the Neptunes name 👀😳
