Dr. Dre

<p>After coming down swiftly on Marjorie Taylor Greene, <a href="/profile/DoctorDre" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Dr. Dre</a> reigns victorious. The Rap icon wasn&#8217;t happy when he learned that <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/373666-twitter-permanently-suspends-rep-marjorie-taylor-greene-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">far-right conservative Greene </a>used his classic track &#8220;Still D.R.E.&#8221; Greene is a controversial political figure in the U.S. from Georgia who has often perpetuated unsubstantiated QAnon conspiracy theories. She has also spoken at white nationalist rallies, further cementing her political infamy. </p>



<p>Recently, Greene found her name being mentioned among Hip Hop circles. She emerged on social media in a promotional video with Dre&#8217;s 2001 hit. Quickly, the Aftermath mogul&#8217;s team fired off a cease and desist letter.</p>

He also called out Greene for not following the proper legal avenues to license music.</p>



<p>“It’s possible, though, that laws governing intellectual property are a little too arcane and insufficiently populist for you to really have spent much time on,&#8221; the statement continued.</p>

<p>&#8220;We’re writing because we think an actual lawmaker should be making laws not breaking laws, especially those embodied in the constitution by the founding fathers.”</p>



<p>It seems Greene and her team got the message because they sent a reply, and the video has been removed from social media.</p>
