Dr. Dre Rips “Hateful, Divisive” MTG For Using His Music

TMZ reports:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene used a Dr. Dre song to tout her political prowess — but she didn’t have the green light for it, according to Dre himself.

The Georgia lawmaker posted a highly-produced clip to her social feeds showing her strutting her stuff through the halls of Congress, apparently flexing the fact that she helped get Rep. Kevin McCarthy elected as House Speaker after an excruciating process.

The mega-producer tells us, “I don’t license my music to politicians, especially someone as divisive and hateful as this one.” No word on whether he plans to do anything about it, or if he’s just gonna let it be.

Variety reports:

Even before Greene’s first triumphant appearance in the video, it begins with a shot of a sign bearing the words “There are two genders, male and female!,” a subject that Greene apparently considers germane to the fight for the speaker’s gavel.

The video ends with a news announcer remarking upon how Greene rushed down to take a selfie with McCarthy following his victory speech, a selfie that “may have been his first act as speaker.”

“Still D.R.E.,” one of the most famous hip-hop songs of all time, was originally released in 1999 and returned to the Billboard Hot 100 in 2022 after it was used in the Super Bowl halftime show.
