The Neptunes (Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo)
(Sep. 8, 2003) *In response to allegations that they jacked another producer for beats, the super-duper producers the Neptunes had a one-page letter via Fed Ex to Sohh.com offices denying ripping off beats from a Texas man.

The man accused Pharrell Williams and his company of stealing music that was featured on the Neptune-produced Jay-Z track “Ni99a Please.” Here’s what the Neptunes’ attorney had to say about the claim on behalf of the track masters:

"We represent Chad Hugo and Pharrell Williams, collectively professionally known as the Neptunes.

You are hereby put on notice that these allegations, which you published without any verification from our clients as to their validity, are completely false and defamatory. The Neptunes vehemently deny that they used any of materials created or furnished by Mr. Zakoni or the other unidentified producer, and can readily prove that such claims are utterly groundless.

Accordingly, we hereby demand that you cease and desist from further dissemination of such falsehoods, and that you forthwith publish a corrected article reporting that the Neptunes deny the claims as groundless. Please be advised our clients shall refer this matter for litigation should there be any further publication of such false claims.

This letter is not intended to constitute a full statement of the facts or of the Neptunes' claims, rights and remedies, and is without prejudice to or waiver of such claims, rights or remedies, all of which are expressly reserved."

Sohh.com did respond to the letter commenting that the site had attempted to reach the producers on numerous occasions, and added the accuser had every right to be heard.
