Dr Dre and music mogul Jimmy Iovine have been ordered to pay $25.2m (£19.2m) to a former partner in their headphone company, Beats.

 

Steven Lamar claimed credit for the idea of creating a brand of celebrity-endorsed headphones.

 

He took the idea to Dre and Iovine in 2006; and the first Beats headphones were released two years later, based on a design by Robert Brunner.

 

The parties later fell out, and Lamar sued over unpaid royalties in 2016.
