Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine undoubtedly have a few extra dollars to spare. So like any decent music moguls would do, they’re pooling their funds together to provide COVID-19 relief to the city that put Dre on the map — Compton, California.
According to The Press Telegram, Dre and Iovine’s donation will provide more than 145,000 free meals for residents in need and pay for coronavirus tests.
“Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine have always been great advocates and supporters of the City of Compton,” Compton Mayor Aja Brown said in a statement. “Increasing access to food and vital healthcare are some of the most important ways we can make an impact for our community in this time of need.”
City officials state 156 coronavirus cases have been confirmed in the Los Angeles suburb.
“As issues like unemployment, food insecurity and lack of COVID-19 testing sweep the nation, I hope that this contribution will inspire others to take action, get involved and support their neighborhoods in any way they can,” Brown continued. “Even in a time of social distancing, this contribution is a strong testament to how we can still come together to support the communities we love.”
Diddy Tells Fat Joe An Instagram Live Battle With Dr. Dre Is In The Works
In 2015, Dre announced he would donate the proceeds from Compton: A Soundtrack to build a performing arts center at Compton High. Two years later, he made good on his promise and donated $10 million to the cause. The center is set to break ground this year.
Meanwhile, Swizz Beatz and Timbaland are trying to get Dre and Diddy to commit to an Instagram Live battle. On Friday (April 24), Diddy confirmed to Fat Joe they were “talking about it.”
Dr Dre is one of the dudes that reps the shit outta Compton, but as soon as he got money, he moved out permanently to a gated community haha. Dre only goes to Compton for shooting music videos, and business in which he uses compton as a selling point. Eazy E knew the truth about the studio gangsters.
Who the fuck would stay in the hood after making millions? Nothing but jealousy and envy in the hood.
Obviously, I just think it’s kind of bogus to rap like your in the streets 35 years after you got out lol. I know Dre likes making gangster rap, but he still raps like he’s in compton. He didn’t change with his life, like JayZ did with 444
Y’all say don’t rap about the streets if you not in them but will all eminem murder girls on wax. I guess he gets a pass huh?
Why you making bullshit assumptions? Eminem gets a pass? The fuck you talking about? I think eminem is also a bullshit artist.
Eminem is a bullshit artist?? Eminem created an alter ego for the crazy shit in his music, obviously he don’t do the shit he says, that doesn’t make him bullshit, it was creative and entertainment.
So all the actors, ball players and musicians should stay in the shit hole they came up in to be extorted, robbed and killed? LOL. You’re a total retard. Here is one of many examples of him giving back to Compton. EAZY-E lives in Riverside for the last 10 years of his life, BTW.
You’re beyond retarded for that comment lmao.
I love how the super rich are doing everything in their lower to avoid paying their fair share of taxes then giving us crumbs off their table, only to have peasants extolling their generosity.
Long Story Short…Show luv to the House of Eazy-E….?
He started your career off that got U where U are today.
Not to mention how U set the Nigga up on some bitch shit!
Everyone in the comments is really pretending Dre isn’t a complete studio gangster. Like Jay said, Eazy E and Pac knew Dre was fake as fuck. Mind u, he made dope music in the day. But he’s a phony. Even 69 is more gangster than Dres pinky.
Don’t take those Coronavirus tests! That shit is tainted. Wtf is he bringing that to Compton? They got enough problems. Dre should be helping out the children missing their education. Donate some damn Chrome Books, or free internet, food, etc. stuff like that would do wonders, not some test for some phony ass flu. Schools all over LA County have lied to the parents and promised every child would have an iPad or Chrome Book and failed them. Free internet was a lie too, Spectrum NEVER answers the phone. Lol but pass out those tests, ok.
Yeah it’s a real waste of time testing people isn’t it? I get guess damn near every doctor in the world must be in on some worldwide conspiracy together ? Why else would they agree with testing right? How does that tinfoil jimmy hat feel around your dick??….weirdo.
Stay in the house and hide from this fake ass virus then, you pussy ass little bitch.
The only “spectrum” that you should be concerned about is the autism spectrum lmao.
