The rapper Dr.
Dre is taking action against the illegal use of his song
"
Still DRE
"
.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene used the song in a video without the rapper's permission.
In the video in question, Greene is seen entering the White House, accompanied by the famous song by Dr.
Dre and Snoop Dogg.
Dress's legal representation, on the other hand, initiated legal action.
The letter from his attorney, Howard King, has been circulating on TMZ and Twitter, revealing that Dr.
Dre has not given MPs permission to use his songs.
He also accuses the politician of disregarding the laws of the US Constitution and speaks of a
"
hateful political agenda
"
.
Speaking to TMZ, Dr.
Dre:
"
I don't generally release my music to politicians, certainly not to someone as divisive and hateful as this politician.
«
Greene, an anti-abortionist and Trump ally who has championed a range of anti-Semitic, racist and far-right conspiracy narratives, was elected to Congress for the first time in 2020.
It always causes controversy.
For example, they hire a right-wing extremist British blogger as an intern in the White House.
With the letter, Dr.
Dre Majorie Taylor Greene has two business days to request any content that Dr.
Dres music include removing from all social media platforms.
Otherwise, further legal action would be taken.
dr
Dre isn't the first musician to speak out against the use of his music by Republican politicians.
Elton John, Adele, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young and Rihanna have also expressed dissatisfaction with Donald Trump and his party using their songs at rallies or other political events.
Some of them had also taken legal action against it.
Majorie Taylor Greene's video has since been removed from Twitter.
