A Los Angeles superior court jury has ordered Dr Dre and his partner, Jimmy Lovine, to pay $25.2m (£19.2m) to their former partner, Steven Lamar.

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

He took the idea to Dre and Lovine 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.
