Snoop Dogg Faces Copyright Infringement Lawsuit

Snoop Dogg, along with Death Row Records and Gala Music, is facing a copyright infringement lawsuit filed by musician and producer Trevor Lawrence Jr. The lawsuit alleges that Snoop used Lawrence's backing tracks without a proper license on his 2022 album B.O.D.R. Despite discussions on licensing terms, no agreement was reached before the album's release, leading to accusations of unauthorized use and lack of compensation. The lawsuit highlights industry practices regarding backing tracks and the importance of negotiating proper licenses before commercial release. Legal action by Johnson & Johnson law firm in Beverly Hills further emphasizes the claim against Snoop Dogg and Death Row Records for alleged misuse of Lawrence's compositions.
