Monday evening, news sources began to report that Dr. Dre would be producing a movie based on the life story of singer Marvin Gaye. In an exclusive telephone interview released to Executive 1 Media Group, Marvin Gaye III stated –
“I love and highly respect Dr. Dre, but the announcement was made prematurely and in error by news sources. We are in talks with Dr. Dre about his participation on musical selections concerning the film, but he is not producing the movie. I was in utter shock over the news reports. Dr. Dre does not have the rights, script approval, or approval from me, as an heir of the Gaye family. If I was to give my blessing to anyone to bring my father's story to life, I would choose Music Mogul Vassal Benford because he has the understanding of my father’s heart, and Mega Film Producer Mark Canton, because of the vision he can bring to the audience”.

The single, titled Be Right There, garnered over five hundred million streams and was considered Platinum. The mogul was also awarded the Vanguard Award from Al Sharpton’s National Action Network. He was also named one of the ‘Most Influential African American Leaders of 2017’ by Congress Woman Maxine Waters.
