Dr. Dre and his estranged wife Nicole Young have been in the middle of a contentious divorce since she filed last June. As the proceedings grew increasingly messier, the lauded producer found himself in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center earlier this month after suffering a reported brain aneurysm.
With Dre back home and in the studio, he’s seemingly on the mend, but his reputation isn’t. During a recent interview with VladTV, comedian Luenell spoke about Dre’s recent medical scare, his sketchy past and how Young’s abuse allegations aren’t so far-fetched.
“Now, one would say, does Dre get a pass for being such a notorious woman beater ’cause he makes good music?” she said in the clip. “One would say. One would say that some people ain’t gonna be praying for Dr. Dre. A lot of women, but you can get a pass, it seems, if you’re popular. He a notorious woman beater.
“I love Dr. Dre’s music, don’t get it fucked up and I don’t want to see any of our icons die. Some of the charges his wife was making was even that he had been violent with her. His track record sucks.”
Dre’s relationship with R&B singer Michel’le — who was previously engaged to the Beats mogul and shares a son with him — was then brought up. She alleged abuse for years, which was the center point of the 2016 biopic Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel’le.
Vlad also mentioned former Pump It Up! host Dee Barnes, who was the victim of Dre’s wrath in 1991 when he viciously attacked her at a Hollywood party, which Luenell called “a documented fact.” Dre attempted to take culpability for the incident in the 2017 HBO docu-series The Defiant Ones but, as Barnes told HipHopDX at the time, it fell flat.
“Any man that puts his hands on a female is a fucking idiot,” Dre said in Episode 2. “He’s out of his fucking mind and I was out of my fucking mind at the time. I fucked up. I paid for it. I’m sorry for it. I apologize for it. I had this dark cloud that follows me and it’s going to be attached to me forever. It’s a major blemish on who I am as a man.”

But Luenell believes his penchant for abuse is an inherent trait she doesn’t see going anywhere anytime soon, adding, “[It’s a] character flaw that he just can’t—he might go years and not do it and then he might just go off.”
the dr needs a doctor.

In the end, the only person who judge a man is God. The Doctor hasn’t had a perfect past just like anyone else. His estranged wife is perfect neither. It’s up to both of them wife to reckon with their conscience and go about whatever decision they’ve made about their relationship privately. What the community needs to provide is space and support for them to go about it about as best they can. Their personal affairs are his business at the end of the day.

Lunell is wack as f ck for going on Vlad still. All he does is start sh t and all of his guests fall for the fraud. What’s her track record?
You gonna take advice from somebody who slapped Dee Barnes?
Fuck VladTV. He only means to profit off of the worst of situations. He is not here to protect uplift or empower anything involving the culture. Fuck the lot of you in this comments section will love him actually.
Dre told me to kill her for 2 million i said fuck you
Why did she stay with him if she got whipped? Ah yes the money and now she wants more..
Let’s all feel sorry for these poor women wo stay in a marriage for years and when they leave they think they should be entitled to fuck knows what
Everybody has a pass,If move on with life to do better,Now she He’s wife beater.Never heard this until now
I don’t understand your comment about Dr Dre may not be a notorious women beater if it was only 1or 2 times. How many times is acceptable. Your comment makes no sense. Once is too much and not acceptable.
It’s definitely not okay for a man to beat a woman well let’s look at it like this anybody think it’s funny that after 25 years she wants to split up with him now that he’s a billionaire yes I know the beats deal happened back in 2015 but there are certain things that had to be put in place before she could actually proceed and I’m not calling it a conspiracy either just have to look at it off three-dimensionally
