Divorce Dr Dre NWA

DR DRE DOESN’T KNOW HOW LUCKY HE IS

We’ve always marveled at the fact that Dr Dre evolved from gangsta rapper in NWA to clever and hugely successful businessman. He was as rough as they come, and considering all the accusations he had of abusing women, he would probably be in #MeToo prison by now if he hadn’t gotten married to Nicole Young in 1996. We can never forgive him for horrifically assaulting a female TV host (and bragging about it) in 1991 because he didn’t like something she said on her show. Dre could NOT have been easy to live with. Young filed for divorce in June 2020 and the battle for his money began. Lucky for Dre, he was smart enough to get a prenup and they just settled- Nicole gets a flat 100 million dollars and that leaves Dre with around 720 million. She worked hard for that money…

Dr Dre High School Journalist

DR DRE WANTS TO ERASE HIS UGLY PAST

To be honest, we have absolutely DESPISED NWA founder Dr Dre since 1991 when he viciously attacked a female journalist because he didn’t like something she wrote. The writer, Dee Barnes, had interviewed Ice Cube about his split from NWA and Dre approached her at Def Jam party in LA. He grabbed her by the hair and slammed her several times into a brick wall while his friend with a gun “watched.” When a guy tried to come to her aid, the “friend” pistol whipped him and broke his teeth. Dre continued the violent beating all the way into the women’s restroom. (He attacked a lot of women in those days, including his girlfriends.) After the beating, the hip hop world turned its back on Dee and she lost her job and career. Of course Dre went on to become a billionaire. We still don’t like him, but now he is trying to do something right. He and music mogul Jimmy Iovine are establishing a special high school in LA and remarkably, it has NOTHING to do with music. The new Leimert Park school will be aimed at black and latino students, and hopes to develop young innovators and entrepreneurs in the areas of design, business, and technology – creative enterprises of the future. Sounds incredible. Maybe the near-fatal brain aneurism he had in January inspired Dre to do something right.

Divorce Dr. Dre Nicole Young

DR DRE: NOT AS SMART AS WE THOUGHT

Music mogul Dr Dre (said to be worth $800 million) showed an astonishing lack of common sense when he was photographed with this dinner date at BOA Steakhouse. That’s Dre in the white sneakers behind Apryl Jones in the black bra. Not a smart move, considering Dre is in the middle of a very expensive divorce from his wife of 24 years, Nicole Young. Nicole filed in June and made some highly unflattering charges against her husband. The big issue in the divorce is division of property – Nicole accused Dre of lavishing money on mistresses and hiding assets. This photo can only inspire the already irate Nicole to “take him to the to the cleaners” – as they used to say… Bad timing.

Dr. Dre Misogynist NWA Straight Outta Compton

DR DRE MADE SURE HIS BRUTAL VIOLENCE TOWARD WOMEN WAS NOT FEATURED IN “STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON”

We have to admit that a part of us was very disappointed when the movie “Straight Outta Compton” became a hit. Why? Because we’ve had a bone to pick with NWA since their beginning. They were a group of ignorant thugs who got lucky in the music business. They had no respect for anyone- especially women. Misogynistic Dr Dre was convicted on multiple cases of violence against women, including the brutalization, on a nightclub ladies room floor, of female journalist Dee Barnes. Not only did the despicable Dre punch and beat women, his lyrics depicted them as “bitches and hos.” Since Dre executive produced “Straight Outta Compton” he made sure these episodes were NOT included in the movie. Dre prefers the reputation of a reformed gangster with heart. It couldn’t be further from the truth.

DR DRE: TROUBLEMAKER TO INSPIRATION IN COMPTON

The California city of Compton has forgiven Dr Dre for giving the place a bad name. Dre, (his real name is Andre Young) is now being celebrated as Compton’s first self-made billionaire. Back in 1988, Dre and his band N.W.A. released the gangsta rap album “Straight Outta Compton” and gave the city a bleak and dangerous reputation. Compton became synonymous with West Coast gangsters and violence. But Dre redeemed himself when he found success as a music producer and business man. Now teachers in Compton are using Dre as an example of how students can find success as entrepreneurs in business and not just sports and music. Since Dre made his multi billion dollar deal with Apple, he bought Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady’s 40 million dollar Brentwood compound and he won’t be moving back to Compton.
