Allegedly, Lawrence created these backing tracks for Snoop to “experiment” with in the studio, and made it clear that he’d need to license them if he wanted to use them on an album. He allegedly released BODR just a couple of years later<\/a>, without any sort of licensing agreement in place, regardless.<\/p>\n

Lawrence also alleged in his suit that Snoop released the two tracks as NFTs without permission. Allegedly, he generated millions of dollars in profits on them. <\/p>\n

Snoop Dogg’s team, on the other hand, denied any and all wrongdoing.<\/a> They alleged that he and Lawrence exchanged a draft deal and that Lawrence was paid a $20K producer fee prior to the release of BODR.<\/p>\n

Allegedly, Lawrence cashed his check. \u201cIf Lawrence is entitled to any monies from defendants, it is the agreed-upon producer royalties offset against the $20,000 that he was already paid,” they alleged in a court filing in December. They also called Lawrence out for allegedly seeking a \u201cpreposterous windfall\u201d of millions of dollars.<\/p>\n

The case was set to go to trial this September, but according to Billboard,<\/a> a settlement has officially been reached. Reportedly, this was done with the help of a mediator in April, though details of the settlement have not been revealed. Snoop and Lawrence filed a joint motion yesterday (June 24) to dismiss their litigation.<\/p>\n

Frank Trechsel, an attorney for Lawrence, told the outlet that he is unable to discuss details of the deal. \u201cOur client is happy to have resolved the dispute,” he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Allegedly, Lawrence created these backing tracks for Snoop to “experiment” with in the studio, and made it clear…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":15074,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[171,2260,2261,975,50,15303,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-15073","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-hip-hop-news","10":"tag-legal-issues","11":"tag-music","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-snoop-dogg","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114747228322832756","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15073","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15073"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15073\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15073"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
