Last year’s third richest artist in hip-hop, Dr. Dre, might become a couple million dollars richer. According to Radar Online, the hip-hop pioneer has filed a lawsuit against his former label, Death Row Records, for more than $3 million in unpaid royalties. The Beats by Dre executive states that the label owes him $1,200,386.57 in unpaid artist-producer royalties, $1,179,913 from digital sales and $676,444.44 for unpaid mechanical royalties. He also claims that the label has yet to honor a bonus that would increase his royalty rate from 18 to 20 percent.
Luckily for Suge Knight, he is not too affected by this lawsuit. In 2006 Suge filed for bankruptcy and Death Row was later bought out in 2008.
