:francis: The writing was on the wall ages ago when Chad just wanted to enjoy his best family man life, while Pharrell was going "oooOooOoo" with Snoop and em.

Such a shame because together they were unstoppable.

I really hope this is a friggin April Fools' joke, if not this was eventually going to be the endgame.

Pharrell tried to steal the name for sole ownership.

Same way he did N.E.R.D., both the name and the merch rights. Chad said he couldn't even reach Pharrell anymore to discuss it because he was blocking his calls. Pharrell started putting the merch out without telling Chad, and was taking all the money from it. So Chad had to hire a lawyer to look into why he was being left out of the profits of something he created and co-owned.

Pharrell has been shady for years. He stole from Kelis and his other artists, and you know it's bad if he'll do the same to Chad. Bad bad karma.

My thing is, we know what Pharrell has done the past decade plus.

What has Chad produced or put out?

I've heard artists talk about Pharrell making a beat right in front of them and doing the song by himself

And from album credits, he's not crediting the "Neptunes" name. So what is Chad filing for?

Is it a case where he's saying that anything Pharrell does he has a right to?

They ruined enough songs with those unfinished beats people thought were genius,and Pharrells weak voice. Easily the worst,most respected producers in hiphop history.


And yes this probably seems like a "hot take", because its random and has nothing to do with this thread. But its not,Ive just been waiting to say it:pachaha:
man what in the entire fuhk??

Seems like Pharrell is still okay with splitting everything 50/50 and Chad got a stick up his ass :yeshrug:

fukk YOU MEAN
"STILL OK WITH SPLITTIN 50/50"
AS IF HE HAS A SAY SO
IN THE LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT?

HE GOT CAUGHT DOING DIRT.

ANYTHING INVOLVING THE NEPTUNES
NEEDS CHADS NAME ON THE PAPERWORK.
