Nhale, the son of late G-Funk singer Nate Dogg, has expressed disappointment with the pending sale of his father's legendary catalog.

On Wednesday (March 12), Nhale, born Naijiel D. Hale, posted a screenshot from a Baller Alert article sharing news of the estate sale's reported delay and asked for prayers from his followers. The "Let's Play House" vocalist, who had nine children, married Latoya Calvin in 2008, but the couple was estranged at the time of Nate's death.

"They want us to sale my Dad catalog for a lil 4 million because he decided to marry a b*tch who was never there for him from the jump," Nhale claimed. "Pray for what I been really dealing with for the past 14 years because I’ll blow this whole shit up. This ain’t even the half…"

According to a report by InTouch Weekly, Nhale opposed Calvin's sale of his father's music rights, with estate administrator, Alex Borden, claiming to have submitted the final accounting report. Calvin petitioned for the court to delay settlement to decide whether the beneficiaries "could agree to a common mechanism for managing the primary asset left in the estate: [Nate’s] music rights."

To manage the rights, Calvin recommended music manager Brian Shafton, which Nhale reportedly has reservations about. With his lawyer, nothing that Nate Dogg's music rights have generated revenue since his passing on March 15, 2011, Nhale has requested that the estate's closing not be prolonged.

In January 2024, it was reported Nate Dogg's $2.7 million estate was to be split equally among his wife and nine children.
