Pusha T says there’s “not a dollar involved” in the “stupidity” of the recently revealed legal battle between Pharrell and Chad Hugo.
As previously reported, the dispute centers on the rights to the name of the duo's joint producing moniker, The Neptunes.
“By ignoring and excluding [Hugo] from the any and all applications filed by applicant for the mark ‘The Neptunes,’ applicant has committed fraud in securing the trademarks and acted in bad faith,” Kenneth D. Freundlich, Hugo’s lawyer, was quoted as saying on Monday.
Shortly after the news broke, Pusha T, a key figure across the Neptunes catalog, argued that all was not as it may seem.
“There’s not a dollar involved in this stupidity,” he said in response to a post from The Shade Room about the dispute. “Just a lawyer looking to drain Chad’s pocket. Unreal.”
Later, King Push took the conversation to his IG Stories. There, he offered a quick “nothing more, nothing less” in response to @artemusgordon questioning why this legal disagreement didn’t previously break out over Pharrell and Chad Hugo's N.E.R.D. band with Shay Haley “if it was all so bad.”
This summer, Pusha T will be on the road supporting Kid Cudi's Insano: Engage the Rage tour. See dates below. In a recent 40th birthday message to Cudi, Push praised him for his "friendship and unmatched loyalty."
