Hip Hop emeritus Dr. Dre’s pending divorce has led to his personal life continuously spilling into the news.
LaTanya Young reportedly spoke with DailyMailTV regarding her famous father in an interview published on Friday (December 4). The 37-year-old woman was born to The Chronic producer and Lisa Johnson in 1983 and while she alleges she hasn’t seen him for 17 years, getting close to his purported $800 million net worth isn’t her overall goal.
“Money is not what I want, I feel better doing it on my own,” the mother of four reportedly told the publication. She also says he’s never met his grandchildren or does she have a phone number to contact him in case of emergency.
“If I needed him, I’d have to go to the studio and get bombarded and talked to by his security,” DailyMailyTV published. “I would have to go through his accountant or his right-hand man, I would never know whether he got my messages. I have never had a direct line to him.
“I really just want to have closure. I just want to be able to spend time with my father.”
Young, who currently lives in Victorville, California, blames Dre’s estranged wife Nicole for their lack of communication over the years. In June, Nicole filed for divorce with a headline-grabbing $2 million a month spousal that was eventually denied by a judge.

“I thought that after Nicole was out of the family, things would be better,” she reportedly continued. “I thought that my dad would come around. I would like him to make me feel like a daughter.”
While Young’s future reconciliation with Dre is still uncertain (especially after this interview), she did offer hope for herself by applying to Amazon and FedEx to support her four children (one who is named after the Aftermath founder).
The legendary producer has reportedly fathered seven children so far.
y’all are wrong for using that pic of her
As someone whos idolized Dre my whole life I cant help but feel like hes a scumbag fraud. He might have the best ear in hip hop, but hes repeatedly taken credit for others. Hes abused people, hes backstabbed almost everyone he was associated with at one time or another..can we please look at dr. Dre for who he really is? I dont see why afrika bambaataa and Russell simmons gotta face facts and dr. Dre keep cruising…oh thats right…he wealthy in a capitalistic society.
Easy there commie
Oh wait there’s more. Hope you don’t believe in the Bible cause this overhead of us is greedy
Russel Simmons has more money than Dre… Ya gotta find another excuse now to fall back on since wealth has noting to do with it. Smh
It’s respect man I mean dude the s*** that this man right off every year on taxes he can write that off on his kids and his grandkids the interest on 800 million could take care of his baby mama and his kids and his grandkids so I don’t really see that as an excuse man you take care of your family has black men we look real bad when we get money when we when we trying to get money it’s always us not taking care of our seeds but then we get mad and white folks because they climbing but they make sure they take care of their seeds even if they don’t get along with them you’ll never see them throw their kids out in the cold like that dude ain’t for real you don’t let your kids suffer man if all he know his daughter to have grandsons that can help make him more money down the line see we forget we going to get old one day and what he going to do is 65 course he going to have waiters and all of that to take care of him but guess what man when you get older you going to want family you going to want your real family you know the ones that can tell you the real s***
Family is more than just blood. But what do u expect from dre. No one ever called him a saint. But he is a god on the boards
A deadbeat dad tho. I don’t understand how any man would not wanna see his own daughter, even if he has another family.
I think Dre only sees Xzibit as he’s real family he’s younger brother! They always together in the studio making fun drinking and smoking! Making music! X and Dre the 2 best brothers in hiphop!
I did not know x and Dre are related. They look the same, only Dre looks older!
I know dr. Dre is related to Warren g
the past coming back to haunt him eh.
I feel for her, but she gotta let it go. My dad has been staying on the next block from me since ’84. And we have NO relationship.
Ur dad not a billionaire or in the news every other week… u can’t relate to her at all.
Yall still believe dre and cube???? lol or Eazy E. I can see if you broke trying to get it together for years and have hard time, and trying to get something before you around your kids, which that still isn’t a excuse, but what do you say about someone that is filthy rich and don’t help they kids and grandkids, that’s some shameful stuff. You got people on your staff you prob pay 6 figures that you done made rich and you can’t help your kids?? Man dre donated millions to USC or UCLA but nothing to them kids. Even if he paid child support for them until they got off age. Put them in position to succeed until they prove that ain’t worthy or not showing no work ethic. At least reach out to your kids every birthday, if you got too many to remember all their birthdays f it just reach out to them every thanksgiving and or christmas
I agree with this ? there is no reason for not helping her
or being in his grandchildren lives.
Exactly ; straight dirt all sh!# u wouldn’t expect from someone like that ….
That pic of her waving the weed baggie to the camera……..LMAOOOO
Here’s a idea if your struggling so much stop having kids. And what the fuck did you do ion know any father that just leaves.
Guess you don’t know every father. And the advice you gave is irrelevant! Not having that father figure in the house or your life can create bad decisions or mistakes. Get off of Dre nuts cause he’s a celebrity! Because they wrong as well.
Every human being should try to connect with the people who brought them life. But if they don’t want any thing to do with you let it go i no It hurt to not be wanted my dad divorced my mom at 5years old. He say me in my 20twentes and did even no my name and my dad was a cop smh!
N*gga did you even read the article? STFU
Lol your a funny bot
Dr. Dre is a WEAK man if he let his wife make sure he had no contact with his other children.
… and these are ‘their’ heroes …
Sad, but true wealthy deadbeat dad. That’s far worse than a struggling person.
SOMEONE PLEASE SHIP HER A MPC 4000 AND A S2400 SO SHE CAN USE THAT MUSIC IN HER BLOODSTREAM TO GET THIS $$$$$$
According to Bruce Williams book Rolling With Dre, Dr. Dre has fathered “at least” 10 children, there are others that don’t get media coverage
Its sad but the truth is once your 18 your parents dont have to anything for you. Go get your own you think Dr. Dre’s dad supported him when he became an adult? I doubt it and look at him now he did it by myself you think with being Dre’s daughter and just the name association it would be easy to navigate in the industry but your just lazy and lookin for a hand out from your poppa grown up trik
Himself*
So let me get this straight. She’s lazy because she wants to spend time with the man that she was born to? Did you not want to spend time with your parents? or have them might their grand kids?
*meet
So you wanna spend time with your dad so you go to some sub par rap website and air out your grievances for the world to see? Why not try to reach out thru the proper channels or maybe he wants nothing to do with you cause you pull attenion stunts like this in the media for no reason at all
Right . . She ain’t asking for anything she just wants to know her Dad , who really shoulda been looking out for them here n there…. But did they miss the part where she said she feels better getting it on her own …
It’s no question that this girl is a little slow… however if thats Dre blood daughter he need to make sure them grandkids not a burden on society. That man a whole rich deadbeat grandfather which is pitiful.
So he hasn’t been in her life since she was 20? Nothing wrong with that 37 years old minus the 17 years gone. My dad been gone since 3. 18 is the legal cutoff age. Boo hoo
You know what, I met my biological father at age 19. I was engaged at the time and I met my three sisters, my father was still trying to help me. I have a daughter in college, the girl literally works three jobs. I could never see myself leaving her and not helping my own blood. To me that’s just straight shameful and crazy ?.
Wtf is “they”. Wtf you know that calls Dr. Dre’ a fkn hero?
English motherfucker, DO YOU SPEAK IT????
Ima hitcha wit dis. I don’t get how many, or how old my children are. As long as I’m alive I’ll be there for them. And check dis out. If I’m a fkn “Billionaire”, none of my children will ever be struggling.
Her fault for being cold to her father and taking her crazy gold dogging moms side
And u know this how ?
I definitely agree with you whether we’re not talkin or not I’m still going to take care of my kids and make sure that her kids my grandkids are taken care of just because you have money he sounds like he’s not good person at all money has clouded his mind
That’s real ! My kids are grown and if one call me and say I need it I got it they got it .some men are just stupid when it comes to women and their kids
Yall need to get Dre’s dick out ya mouth. Dre has never been shit. Go ask Dee Barnes and Michelle. I bet everything Pac said about him was true.
But ya boy Pac be dead and Dre be jizzing in all kind of skanky chicks with his billion dollars.
Dr Dre is a Legend u are justbTrouble he do not ow u shit get cha own Fund’s Hunn
Were there money’s exchanged for this interview…if not what was the point.
Damn, his own daughter? All she want is a relationship with him, imagine u have a father worth $800million & he doesn’t talk to you, you would feel some kind of way also. When you’re blessed with that type of money it wouldn’t hurt to help out your children if they need a lil help. Hell he gave rich ass USC $10 million for something USC could’ve paid themselves. Whats wrong with giving your daughter $100,000 if she needs help. Yeah she’s 37yrs old now, but he hasn’t been there for her since she was a teenager. Dude never met his grandchildren, damn shame, what kind of person is he? That money destroyed his soul
Crack heads
Black Men always leaving there kids.
Shame on any men that dont want to help there kids.
And then someone said he dont have to help her…all you celebs got help from the fans….you black men crack me up…you black men never want to help black women after you laid down and had them…you all like seeing the black women struggling..but always want us to be down with you….shame on black men.
And just know them women wouldn’t even be with you all if you didn’t have fame and money…..lol
Black men
anyone heard the rumors dre’s wife nicole divorced him cause she was sick of having a 3 way marriage with dre & jimmy iovine? rumors are out there…dre & jimmy are very close..was she sick of sharing dre with jimmy…
Bailing her out would create a habit and that habit will become the action of gimme gimme gimme…. As she stated in her documentary her Father did not want her to be in the music industry… She was being offered assistance to pursue any other career but she insisted on being a rapper due to her defiance she was cut off… Most people don’t know or realise that Dr Dre hates lazy people because he is of the view of the fact that they don’t put their best foot forward…. I mean listen to the leaked single Get It and his conversation with Tyson….
Money destroyed his fucken life
Dre a piece of shit thanks for beating his ass suge knight like he beats his women and neglects his seeds and grandkids
Detox is coming?
You guys have the wrong picture of one of my daughters. My name is Lisa Johnson AKA LJ Johnson Dr Dre’s baby mom. Please take down my daughter Latoya’s picture assuming that she is LaTonya because she is not you have the wrong picture up please don’t put yourself in a bad situation whoever published it facts. Lj Johnson
I’ve never understood how adults can still cry and complain how their parent(s) have been absent for x amount of year’s. So what? How is their absence (financial help) of any relevance to your situation today? We have a generation of spoiled humans who carry themselves with an aire of false entitlement and quite frankly it’s disgusting. No one should have to hold your hand grown up…STOP BLAMING!!!
“Money is not what I want, I feel better doing it on my own,” LaTanya Johnson.
You must not know how to read. It clearly stated she wants her father, a relationship with her father. Who cares about money. I am pretty sure she did not ask to be here in this world. The love of a mother and father is wanted and needed. The relevance to their absence is missing the love us as human beings want. 7 kids… he’s a hoe… low life father, and anyone can judge a person when we should not… but judging someone because they want a father, and to have a relationship with their father is pretty damn immature. I completely understand her pain, there is more than one low life father out there. The hole in her heart she is trying to fill, can only be fixed by her father. The ignorance is real… how about you tell that idiot Dre… to stop having kids he doesn’t be a father too?
Now there is no excuse mr.dre,sometimes a new wife will be overprotective of other bms.but its usually financial, but you mega rich,iont judge for this deep.get your kids that wanna be in your life,let them in after you divorce.ijs a phone call helps,finance also helps while missing offspring. Ijs get it right.
The black male celebrities get rich then they forget their black strong woman who help them down and go outside there race. Then the culture outside of there devorce their assess and get rich off of them by doing nothing. That’s what you black men get you want out of your race then you pay at the end. Black women hold Yal assess down but Yal are color blind when the money is still green.
“Money is not what I want”, said LaTanya. “After a long period of silence, I just so happen to be going on blast right now when portions of his finances are up for grabs in a divorce. I mean, I don’t want any of it, but I mysteriously want to be a part of the current narrative since funds are being negotiated”.
