contacted him to ask for permission to use his music. He claims that he even reached out to Universal to inform them of the infringement but they continue to use his music without authorization.
He says Dr. Dre’s song has sold over 3.5 million copies and resulted in 2 million albums sold. He says he never knew about the infringement over the years because he was never listed as a co-author or given credit on Dre’s song.
