Dr. Dre & Jimmy Iovine Ordered to Pay Ex-Partner for Beats Headphones

Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine gotta search their couches and come up some major coin for their former business partner after a jury sided with him … ruling the Beats co-founders owe unpaid royalties.

According to court docs, an L.A. jury awarded Steven Lamar a whopping $25,247,350 … after ruling the music moguls hadn’t paid him for design work he did on 3 models of Beats headphones — the Studio 2 Remastered, the Studio 2 Wireless and the Studio 3.

Dre and Jimmy had previously argued Lamar was only owed royalties on the first model. Lamar sued and the jury agreed he had fulfilled his end of the bargain with the Beats honchos.

There’ll be no fundraiser for Dre & Jimmy. They got plenty money!
