Nate Dogg’s son, Naijiel Hale, is trying to stop the late singer’s wife from cashing in on his estate. The family has been fighting over the beloved hip-hop singer’s estate since his death in March 2011.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Naijiel Hale claims Nate’s wife, Latoya Calvin, caused the car crash that led to Nate’s strokes and eventual death. He also charges that Nate was mentally incapacitated when he and Calvin wed. Nate and Latoya were only married for 19 days before filing for a divorce which had yet to be finalized before his untimely death. According to Naijiel’s mother, Rhoda Mouton, Latoya didn’t even attend the funeral.
The family has been squabbling over the estate since shortly after his death since he reportedly died without a will. In July 2012, it was reported that Nate’s assets would be split between his six children.
Last year, the family was at odds over the sale of the crooner’s Pomona, California home. Just two days after his death, the bank foreclosed the home since Nate had fallen behind on mortgage payments. The estate administrator agreed to sell the house for $340,000 with the net income going to paying off Nate’s bills. But family members disputed the sale.
