A video that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) posted to her Twitter feed, in which she celebrated the election of Kevin McCarthy as speaker of the House, was pulled from the platform after a copyright complaint from Dr. Dre.
WASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 06: Rep.-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene takes a photo with U.S. House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy after being elected Speaker of the House in the House Chamber at the U.S. Capitol Building on January 07, 2023 in Washington, DC. After four days of voting and 15 ballots McCarthy secured enough votes to become Speaker of the House for the 118th Congress.
A video that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene posted to her Twitter feed, in which she celebrated the election of Kevin McCarthy as speaker of the House and her bonds with the new chamber leader, was pulled from the platform after a copyright complaint from Dr. Dre. The spot featured Dre’s hit “Still D.R.E.,” but he told TMZ that it was used without his permission. “I don’t license my music to politicians, especially someone as divisive and hateful as this one,” he told TMZ.

that Dre’s attorney Howard King sent to the congresswoman, who was a key ally for McCarthy as he attempted to lock up votes on the right.Greene’s spokesperson told Deadline that she was locked out of her account, but she did tweet about the incident later in the afternoon on Monday.
She’s certainly not the first politician to run afoul of musicians who are protective of their works, particularly when used at political rallies or in videos. There is a long history of Republicans getting legal threats from artists, even though there are instances when campaigns do have permission via blanket licenses given to certain venues. But the inclusion of Dre’s music in a video is not such a case.
