Pharrell Williams Confirms Rift with Neptunes' Chad Hugo

The longtime collaborators are no longer on speaking terms following a legal dispute over trademark rights.

Pharrell Williams revealed he and Chad Hugo are not on speaking terms after Hugo filed a lawsuit against him.
The lawsuit, filed earlier this year, accuses Pharrell of attempting to monopolize The Neptunes' trademark without Hugo's consent.
Pharrell expressed his continued respect and well-wishes for Hugo despite their current estrangement.
Chad Hugo will still voice himself in Pharrell's upcoming LEGO biopic 'Piece By Piece,' set to release in October.
The legal dispute centers on Pharrell's attempts to register trademarks for streaming music, music videos, and live performances under his own company.
