Dr. Dre may be living the rich, single life, but his eldest daughter is reportedly still struggling to make ends meet.
In an interview with the DailyMail, 38-year-old LaTanya Young said she works as a delivery driver for DoorDash and Uber Eats as well as an assembler at a warehouse. But she still claimed she can’t afford to secure an apartment in California and has been forced to live in a rental car.
Young said she has asked her estranged father, who’s worth about $800 million, for financial help but hasn’t received any support in 18 months. Young is Dre’s daughter with 53-year-old Lisa Johnson. The couple reportedly separated when she was just five years old. Young added she hasn’t seen her Hip Hop mogul father in over 18 years and can only contact him through his team.
Young has two teenage daughters and a three-year-old son who are currently staying with friends.
“I’ve been working in a warehouse and doing Uber Eats and DoorDash,” she said. “My kids are staying with friends — they are not living in the car, it’s just me. I’m taking odd jobs just to make it now — I got paid $15 an hour as an assembler at the warehouse. I’m trying to keep my head above water. I’ve been in debt for a while.
“The car is a pretty penny. It’s an SUV that costs $2,300 for three weeks and I only paid for one week. Sooner or later they are going to take the car.”
Young explained she moved from Nevada to California a month ago in search of higher wages.
“The wage is higher in California – there was no work in Nevada,” she added. “There weren’t enough jobs. I have friends and family that will let us come back and forth but the majority of the time I’m living out of my car.”
Dr. Dre did pay her rent and give her an allowance in the past, but she says that ended in January 2020.
“I’m homeless and I’ve been reaching out to my dad for help,” she continued. “His lawyer has said that my dad doesn’t want to help me because I’ve spoken about him in the press. I feel like I’m damned if I do, I’m damned if I don’t.
“I’m just trying to communicate with him and see if he wants to talk to his grandkids. My kids are old enough to know who he is. They are in shock that he doesn’t want anything to do with them.”
Dr. Dre's Estranged Daughter Talks Financial Struggles & Not Even Having His Phone Number
Dr. Dre is currently in the middle of a high-profile and contentious divorce from his wife of 24 years, Nicole, who was recently awarded nearly $300,000 per month in spousal support. Young said she’s heard rumors Dre is even floating the bill for his alleged mistresses.
“People label me as a millionaire’s daughter so they don’t understand why I’m working,” Young said. “It makes me want to crawl under a rock. He used to help with our rent and gave an allowance, but he told us he wouldn’t do anything anymore. I’m out on the streets. I asked him for help and I haven’t got a response back from his lawyer. I’m hearing about mistresses that he’s bought houses for. It’s a messy situation.”
According to Ben Westhoff’s award-winning book, Original Gangstas: The Untold Story of Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, Tupac Shakur and the Birth of West Coast Rap, Dr. Dre has six other children, including son Curtis who he didn’t acknowledge until decades after his birth.
That is sad. His other kids and mistresses live comfortably.
Every story has two sides. Sounds
like he disowned her. But Dre’s
friends need help he cuts them a
check. Eazy’s kids he treats like
forgotten foster children. Maybe
she should come out with a book
to tell her side. Plenty of publishers
would love to cut her a fat check.
Eminem and Dre is sure different
as parents that’s for sure.
2,300 dollars for a 3 week rental car to sleep in instead of a hotel room? This bish on dope…
The fact she is an adult is what changes matters. That being said, your children are always your children. Unless she is killing and murdering women and children you never turn you back on family. Dre has been a disgrace
But what if she was spending the money on dope though?
Breaking news !!
Black man is a deadbeat dad who dodges parental responsibilities .
More to come soon as this unique situation unfolds !
Try reading the article.
Try reading your comment dumbass.
Please go back to the trailer park and take a nap in the back of your covered pickup truck. Before you get in, attach a hose to the exhaust pipe, then put the other end in the back with you and shut the hood…
Shorty is 38 still acting as if she is a child. If you can’t figure out life with rent assistance and an allowance after 18 you deserve what you get. I’d me a millionaire myself off my own hard work if I had rent assistance and an allowance until 36. I don’t feel sorry for her one bit.
Her kids are currently staying with friends, so it’s only her living out of the car. There has to be an interesting reason why family won’t allow her to live with them and it’s probably as interesting as to why Dre stopped giving her money after 18 months…
She’s living out a rental car that costs 2,300 dollars for three weeks…I call bullshit, you can get hotel room for a couple days for that money. It may be a shitty one, considering it’s California and their prices are high, but it’ll at least have a bed, tv, toilet, and shower…
Exactly this. How are you broke but pay $2,300 a month to live in a car? You can easily get an apartment for that
A couple days in a shitty hotel? How much damn money does a hotel cost in california? Here you could live in a hotel for 2 weeks with $2300. And a pretty decent one too. She could also move if it’s that expensive in california. Her story seems full of lies.
Dre won’t give her money because she’s awful with it.
Hey we never said he was a good dude by any means
His son Curtis said his mom did not tell Dre or him that Dr Dre was his father
.he said he met his dad when he was 20 and that was when Dre first knew of him even existing..so that is not an abandonment..anyone can Google it Curtis tells his story and they are good..hope u and your dad get to talk..
LMAO, Daily Mail has no shame. *Crying face emoji.*
“You bought somebody else house, so you have to buy me a house.” -Dre’s daughter
What kind of car did this girl rent that costs 2,300 dollars over three weeks?!?! If the SUV was 55 bucks a day, the price would fall well short of 2,300 dollars. Guaranteed Dre stop giving her money because she was full of shit. On another note, htf does anyone know that this fool is telling the truth about anything? Maybe she’s not even his daughter and is the daughter of someone he used to see and was just trying to do her a favor…
Bro, have you seen her face? She’s a spitting image of Dre. She’s the daughter of Dre’s first girlfriend/wife. Not the woman he’s been with for like the past 30 years who he recently divorced
Strangers can look alike.
I should probably sell cat.
Sorry but a woman should never be broke with a pussy between her legs.but Dre gay ass should atleast look out for his grandkids so fuck him
Their mother should look out for her kids..she’s grown n not handicapped! She said he was paying her rent and giving her an allowance…why wasnt she saving?!? She is an adult!!! She needs to take care of herself
It’s always hard to feel bad for the ultra rich until this kinda ish come out. My ninja Dre gotta pay $300K plus all housing cost for two multi million dollar cribs for a chick that did nothing for him. She ain’t make no damn headphones, she ain’t steal Scott Storch’s beats, she ain’t have to wear makeup and shiny suits. Now he’s gotta kid that is getting support until age 36. Yes, 36. Somehow this broad is spending $2300 for 3 weeks (over $3k a month) to live in an SUV and claiming she’s “homeless.” About 1% of yall spending over $3K on a place much less a car. And what the f kinda spaceship is this broad living in that is $3K a month? But yeah yeah yeah… he don’t take care of his people. SMH.
Wait… those beats he paid Scortch for were somehow stolen? SMH
Makes $15 an hour but the SUV she’s renting costs $2300 for 3 weeks. Dumb hoe
Ya’ll love to pick and choose lol, if this were Diddy you would crucify him smh…
Dude. If u make kids support them . Period
Is she a handicap or something?
Child support ends at age 18. They’re on their own after.
She probably was spoiled for too long and didn’t know how to adapt once the money stopped coming in. You can easily get an apartment, let alone even a room if you can pay 2300 for 3 weeks
I would be more than willing to bet there is more to the story. But like all media manipulation, we get one side and a few details and start making the assumptions and forming opinions. She’s 38 and looks completely fine to me. We honestly have no clue about the history of their situation. Im not standing up for Dre because I don’t know him and could honestly care less what he does other than music. It’s none of my business. My only point is don’t take everything at face value especially in todays me me me world of attention addicted people. That is all. Carry on.
Smartest part of the comment section
Why doesn’t she ask her millionaire mother ? … Why does Dr. Dre have to be the piece of shit when he’s shelling out money already for the dead beat ex wife… being a man is tough.
who said her mother is a millionaire? very little is known about her mother
What makes you think her mother is a millionaire? Her mother never married Dre and the kids are grown, so there hasn’t been child support in years (if he even paid it)
If this article is anything to go by then it’s evident that Dre alleged “daughter” lacks self respect. She can’t be seeking handouts at her age regardless of what her father’s status is. If she hasn’t figured out the direction her life is going she should be looking within as opposed to the outside world.
Looking for a handout it seems money dried up probably used go being spoiled by her dad or partner aint used to real world so time to shame someone or spill the t for that easy money. U paying a month salary to half americans for 3 weeks car payments be smart buy a used car paid for and use your working money for bills and life and hell when your father gets sick or passes and u dont get shh then its time piss on grave haha. Way more to storry def.especially knowing was paying your 38 yr old child up til 2020 probably said use the name n make $ for yourself the name ect alone if business savy could make u cpl mill so wouldnt be in pockets til death
She asked for a fish, Dre gave her a stone.
It’ll make her stronger.
Three kids, THREE. If you cant afford to take care of yourself then dont have kids! Black folks never gonna learn, SMH.
