Jordan Rose reports that Chad Hugo has filed an updated lawsuit against Pharrell Williams, alleging that he never received proper credit or compensation for several tracks they co‑produced. The filing expands on his original January complaint, targeting specific songs such as “Cash Out,” “Lost and Found,” “Freestyle,” and an unreleased Kendrick Lamar track titled “Pure,” all tied to Williams’ 2022 album I No Nego. Hugo claims Williams removed his name from production credits and withheld royalty payments, seeking more than $1 million for the 2017 Nard & Winston album No One Really Dies alone. He also alleges that Williams’ company, PWIP Holdings LLC, has been unresponsive about accounting for their joint venture, NED Music LLC, and has attempted to claim sole ownership of “The Neptunes” trademark through three 2022 applications covering music videos, performances, and streaming. The lawsuit cites concrete examples: the alleged credit stripping on the listed tracks, the unpaid royalties from album sales, touring income, and merchandising, and the trademark filings that Hugo says were made without his consent. Williams’ legal team maintains they intended to share trademark ownership, but Hugo contends the lack of communication demonstrates bad faith. If the court sides with Hugo, Williams could face significant financial liability and lose exclusive control over the “The Neptunes” brand, reshaping royalty structures for producers and influencing how music‑industry partnerships handle credit and trademark rights.
