Nate Dogg’s Son Vents Over Catalog Sale Drama With Rapper’s Widow

Nobody wins when the family feuds. Naijiel D. Hale, the son of Nate Dogg, recently vented about his harrowing experience figuring out how to handle the late rapper’s music catalog with his widow.

Hale took to Instagram to air his grievances with the entire process. He shared a screenshot of a Baller Alert post that covered his opposition to Dogg’s widow, LaToya Calvin, delaying the $4 million estate settlement, and he expressed how he felt in the caption.

“They want us to [sell] my Dad catalog for a lil 4 million because he decided to marry a [bi**h] who was never there for him from the jump,” he wrote. “Pray for what I been really dealing with for the past 14 years because I’ll blow this whole [sh*t] up. This ain’t even the half…”

Naijiel D. Hale hasn’t stopped at an Instagram post, though. In Touch recently reported that he asked a court to shut down LaToya Calvin’s recent plea because they were not in alignment. Notably, Calvin and Nate Dogg were estranged when he passed away, but she was listed as a beneficiary of his estate along with his nine children.

Calvin recently requested that the court postpone closing the probate so that all of the beneficiaries could attempt to find common ground. Specifically, she hoped they “could agree to a common mechanism for managing the primary asset left in the estate: [Nate Dogg’s] music rights.” Calvin has been pushing for Brian Shafton, a music manager, to take over as the administrator of the estate, but Hale does not approve.

As an alternative, he would like for the entire process to be handed over to an LLC that is headed by a professional with music industry experience, and believes that the other beneficiaries would support this initiative. His driving motivation is the fact that the estate case has been open for 11 years, so delaying it any further and having someone unequipped to oversee the process would only be more frustrating.
