Dr. Dre is seemingly out of the woods after reportedly suffering a brain aneurysm earlier this week. The lauded producer issued an update from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday night (January 5) after news of his condition started making the rounds.
“Thanks to my family, friends and fans for their interest and well wishes,” he wrote on Instagram. “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!”
TMZ reported Dre was rushed by ambulance to Cedar-Sinai on Monday (January 4) and admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with a brain bleed. He was ultimately declared “stable and lucid,” but doctors were still running a battery of tests to determine how the bleed began.
Dre and his estranged wife Nicole Young have been embroiled in a bitter divorce since she filed last June. As the months drag on, the proceedings seem to grow increasingly more complicated. From Young accusing Dre of fathering children outside of their marriage to Dre claiming she embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars from their company Records One Studios, to say the split has been messy is an understatement.
Young is seeking $2 million a month in temporary spousal support and $5 million in legal fees, which Dre’s attorneys say is ludicrous. The primary focus of the case revolves around a prenuptial agreement Young reportedly signed in 1996 but believes should be thrown out because Dre allegedly tore it up one night as some kind of romantic gesture.
The 51-year-old says Dre keeps over $260 million in cash and has a large amount of Apple stock, meaning he should have plenty of money to cover her demands. The couple was expected in court on Wednesday (January 6), but Dre will have to skip that one.
Thank God he’s okay. I was stressing about this shit all day..
Same I was heartbroken reading the first story, thank God he’s ok and doing better. I grew up listening to Dre so I’ll always look up to him.
You sound like the worse kind of groupy bitch. Not only are you stressing over someone that don’t give a fuck if you lived or died. You stressing over a dead beat dad who put women over his kids and grand kids smh…Their is a sucka born every minute…
Great to hear he’s doing better. Listening to 2001 right now. Hopefully Snoop and Em see what happened to their mentor, and smarten up.
oh christ.
Thank God for this. Wishing you a speedy recovery and sending prayers your way. I ain’t even gonna lie, when I heard this I was working out , hitting the heavy bag in my home gym and I was hitting that shit hard thinking of that stupid gold digging bitch Nicole’s long ugly face.
Get well soon Dre

Yeah let’s see you run a billion dollar empire and go through a massive divorce at the same time you little fa.ggot
Someone’s salty
Not a fan of Dr. Dre the man, but his contribution to hip hop is indisputable. Get well soon to the GOAT producer.
I’m originally from the Congo and He’s the reason why I became a music producer/beatmaker back in 1997.
I don’t idolize celebrities at all but this dude is like a “Hero” to me. I hope he gets better.
Even a Doctor needs an doctor and It’s God himself.
Great news! Dre was probably hitting the weights to relieve some stress and that blood pressure started bubbling causing the problem … glad he’s good!
Cocaine is a helluva drug
