Dr. Dre has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene from using his music in any context.
Dr. Dre has put his foot down against Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. Last Monday (January 9), the Georgia politician released a video of herself walking through Congress and boasting that she helped fellow Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy get elected as House speaker. The video also featured Snoop Dogg-assisted single “Still D.R.E.,” from Dre’s 1999 album 2001, which Greene walks slow-motion to before holding a phone call with former United States President Donald Trump, referenced as ‘DT.’
The video has since been removed from Twitter “in response to a report from the copyright owner,” but Dre, whose legal name is Andre Romelle Young, denounced the clip for exploiting his music.
“I don’t license my music to politicians, especially someone as divisive and hateful as this one,” Young said to TMZ last Monday (January 9).
