<p>Dr. Dre demanded Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) take down a video on Twitter that he said used one of his songs without permission.</p>
<p>Greene was <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2023/01/09/dr-dre-didnt-license-song-rep-marjorie-taylor-green-video/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> locked out of her account after the Twitter video containing the song was flagged on the platform for copyright violations.</p>
<p>&#8220;We write you on behalf of our client, Andre Young p/k/a Dr. Dre, composer and performer of the hit song &#8216;Still D.R.E.,'&#8221; an attorney for Dre said in a letter to Greene. &#8220;You are wrongfully exploiting this work through the various social media outlets to promote your divisive and hateful political agenda.&#8221;</p>
<p>Greene posted the instrumental version of the song, which means the lyrics were stripped out of the music.</p>
<p>Dre, whose real name is Andre Young, &#8220;has not, and will never, grant you permission to broadcast or disseminate any of his music,&#8221; the letter said. &#8220;The use of &#8216;Still D.R.E.&#8217; without permission constitutes copyright infringement in violation of 17 U.S.C. 501.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;One might expect that, as a member of Congress, you would have a passing familiarity with the laws of our country,&#8221; the letter continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s possible, though, that laws governing intellectual property are a little too arcane and insufficiently populist for you to really have spent much time on. We&#8217;re writing because we think an actual lawmaker should be making laws not breaking laws, especially those embodied in the constitution by the founding fathers.&#8221;</p>
<p>The letter demanded that Greene respond by the end of business on Wednesday and confirm that she complied with their demand to take the song down.</p>
<p>Greene fired back at Dre in a statement to TMZ, blasting the subject matter of Dre&#8217;s music.</p>
<p>&#8220;While I appreciate the creative chord progression, I would never play your words of violence against women and police officers, and your glorification of the thug life and drugs,&#8221; Greene said.</p>
<p>Greene posted a screenshot of her statement with the caption, &#8220;The next episode,&#8221; which is a troll on Dre since one of his top songs of all-time is &#8220;The Next Episode.&#8221;</p>
