Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo are locked in a legal dispute over the Neptunes name.
Chad Hugo & Pharrell Williams of N.E.R.D. during 2nd Annual Shortlist Music Awards Concert at Henry Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles.Before Williams was a solo star, The Neptunes produced a slew of radio hits in the early 2000s, including Nelly’s “Hot in Herre,” Snoop Dogg’s “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl” and Justin Timberlake’s “Rock Your Body.” The legendary duo, who have been friends since childhood, were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2022.
In his legal filings last week, Hugo’s attorneys argued that Pharrell had “knowingly and intentionally” filed those applications without required input from Hugo, even though he was “fully aware” that either Hugo or their partnership entity should have been listed as a co-owner: “Nothing, either written or oral, provided Williams or with the unilateral authority to register the trademarks.”
