In exclusive court documents obtained by TheBlast, Dr. Dre has filed a court motion to stop Nicole Young’s lawsuit over the trademark to his name as well as the title of his most coveted project, The Chronic.

Back in August, Nicole filed a suit claiming co-ownership of the trademarks of The Chronic and his moniker Dr. Dre, while she accused Dre, whose real name is Andre Young, of transferring the rights to the trademarks into a brand-new company in which he is the sole proprietor.

Sources close to the couple say that since they were married in 1996 and The Chronic album dropped in 1992, it isn’t possible for her name to be on the trademarks, however, Nicole Young claims that Dre didn’t file for the trademarks until 1997. 

In the new court docs, the Dr. doesn’t pull any punches when talking about his estranged wife’s recent legal actions. His lawyer wrote, “Plaintiff Nicole Young, after commencing divorce proceedings against Defendant Andre Young, seeking over $400 Million, then stealing almost $400,000.00 from an LLC that funds Defendant Young’s recording studio, draining its entire bank account, Plaintiff has decided that $400,400,000.00 and one lawsuit are not enough. She is now suing Defendant Young and another LLC in a separate lawsuit, having the temerity to claim that trademarks to Defendant Young’s performing name, “Dr. Dre,” and to his first solo album, entitled “The Chronic,” have been unlawfully transferred from Defendant Young to his wholly-owned LLC.”

The motion filed by Dre also says, “Dr. Dre” is a trade name that Defendant Young had used for over ten years before he even met Plaintiff, as a member of the World Class Wreckin’ Cru, then as a member of NWA, and then as a solo performer. “The Chronic” was a multi-platinum and Grammy-winning album that was released four years before his marriage to Plaintiff.”

Attorney Tony Buzbee Pushes Legal Crusade Against Celebrities Linked to Diddy’s Alleged Parties

Diddy

The legal situation surrounding Diddy is heating up as prominent lawyer Tony Buzbee expands his efforts beyond just the music mogul himself. Buzbee is known for representing more than 120 people who have accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of misconduct. Now, he is also looking at other celebrities who may have been at Diddy’s infamous parties, where allegations of bad behavior occurred. Buzbee is sending a strong message to those who ignored what was happening: they need to either pay up or may face lawsuits that could seriously harm their reputations.

In a recent appearance on TMZ’s documentary titled The Downfall Of Diddy: Inside The Freak-Offs, Buzbee talked about the responsibility of celebrities who attended these events. He highlighted that those who saw or heard about alleged sexual abuse and drugging yet chose to stay silent are just as guilty as the ones accused. Buzbee revealed that some of these stars have already received letters demanding they settle privately or risk facing public lawsuits.

This situation has significant implications. Buzbee’s tough stance comes as personalities like Ray J speak up, claiming that various stars have contacted him worried about their involvement. Ray J has been vocal about Diddy’s alleged misdeeds and suggested that some celebrities try settling with victims before more accusations come to light. It’s unclear if Ray J’s claims indicate real legal trouble or growing anxiety among those involved, but Buzbee’s push for accountability adds a new twist to the ongoing story.

Focused initially on Diddy, this legal battle now shows how famous figures can get caught up in high-profile scandals. As Diddy faces serious federal and criminal cases, the potential consequences for others connected to him are becoming more evident. For now, Tony Buzbee is committed to seeking justice, clarifying that being famous won’t protect anyone from the law. Whether these efforts lead to public trials or quiet settlements, it’s clear that pressure is building for those linked to Diddy’s controversial events.
