Pharrell Williams Sued by Neptunes Partner Chad Hugo Amid Split: ‘Fraudulent Conduct’
The former musical duo, which produced some of the biggest hits of the 2000s, is headed to court over accusations of unpaid royalties and "self-dealing."
Pharrell Williams is facing a lawsuit from his former Neptunes partner Chad Hugo, who claims his longtime friend has cut him out of their company and owes him as much as $1 million from an N.E.R.D. album.
Before Pharrell became a solo superstar, he and Hugo formed a prolific songwriting duo for years, producing massive hits like Nelly’s “Hot in Herre,” Snoop Dogg’s “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl” and Justin Timberlake’s “Rock Your Body.” They also formed two-thirds of N.E.R.D., a hip-hop/rock band that enjoyed its own run of hit albums in the 2000s and 2010s.
The Neptunes’ Chad Hugo Sues Pharrell Williams Over Unpaid Royalties
The Neptunes’ Chad Hugo is once again suing his production partner Pharrell Williams, claiming he’s owed $1 million from one of the duo’s N.E.R.D. albums.
Lawyers for Hugo filed the lawsuit Friday against Williams, alleging that there has been a “systematic denial” of Hugo’s royalties and rights as a partner in the Neptunes and N.E.R.D., specifically when it comes to the duo’s 2017 album No One Ever Really Dies.
“Williams engaged in self-dealing, concealed material information, and … diverted revenues owed to plaintiff,” Hugo’s attorney Brent J. Lehman wrote in the lawsuit (via Billboard). “Such willful, fraudulent, and malicious conduct warrants the imposition of punitive damages.”
