Pharrell Williams is asking a court to dismiss a copyright lawsuit filed by his former Neptunes collaborator, Chad Hugo.
Hugo claims he was denied proper credit and payment for music he helped create between 2019 and 2021.
However, Pharrell’s attorneys argue that Hugo has repeatedly changed the songs identified in his complaint and failed to clearly explain his alleged contributions.
Williams is seeking to have the lawsuit dismissed in its entirety, arguing that the allegations are too vague for him to properly respond.
