Rapper Dr. Dre has suffered from a brain aneurysm and received hospital care in California, According to TMZ, the music mogul was rushed by ambulance to the ICU at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Monday. Born Andre Romelle Young, was said to be in stable condition on Tuesday. The news was confirmed on Twitter by Los Angeles Times reporter Richard Winton, who noted that as of Tuesday evening, details on Dre’s condition are unclear.
Dr. Dre’s health scare came just one day before his estranged wife, Nicole Young, exposed the former couple’s extravagant monthly spending habits. Nicole Young’s certified public accountant claims Dre has about $262 million in cash and Apple stocks, and has been selling those stocks to fund their lifestyle over the last several years. The CPA reportedly determined the estranged couple’s monthly living expenses totaled around $2.3 million, which is $300,000 more than what Young is requesting in temporary monthly spousal support.
Although the full extent of Dre’s condition is unknown, well wishes are pouring in on social media. Ice Cube, Dre’s longtime friend and former running mate in N.W.A., is asking for “love and prayers,” while Cube’s son tweeted, “Me and my family are with you.”
UPDATE * Dr. Dre posted a message thanking everyone , stating, “Thanks to my family, friends and fans for their interest and well wishes. I’m doing great and getting excellent care from my medical team. I will be out of the hospital and back home soon. Shout out to all the great medical professionals at Cedars. One Love!!”
