Celebrate! After a bitter $1 billion court battle, Dr. Dre seems to have finally divorced his wife Nicole Young
Dre, however has yet to confirm his divorce status via social media.
DailyMail.com has reached out to the representative of this hip-hop mogul.
Young and Dre are negotiating over their billion dollar fortunes since June 2020, when Young filed for divorcing. The couple married in 1996. They have a daughter Truly Young (20 years old) and a son Truice Young (24).
Young claimed in her filing that the musician and businessman threw her out of their home on April 2 of that year following ‘a night of Andre’s alcohol-induced, brutal rage, which included, but was not limited to, his screaming at her to ‘get the f*** out.”

Also, she claimed their marriage was “earmarked by all sorts of abuse” and that he had repeatedly punched her and held a gun to his head.
Dre denied the accusations of abuse. However, he was accused multiple times of sexually abusing women throughout his professional career.
Young also asked for more than $1,000,000 from the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department.
Young’s legal counsel filed a writ for execution against the chronic hitmaker. Young has claimed that she defied a court order and failed to pay $1.224,607 in legal fees. Young also claims that $300,000 was not enough to cover the bill.

RadarOnline.com obtained the following documents: “Andre will do whatever he pleases, because he is a rich litigant with a great deal of financial resources. His goal is to take revenge on his wife and destroy her assets leaving her without any legal representation.”
They asked for the Sheriff’s Department’s assistance in serving the papers.
Nicole could now proceed to sue his bank account for the total amount. This would allow Nicole to earn $335 daily interest.
Dre has made it clear that Dre is not able to afford her to defend herself in court. She stated that Dre only had $1 million to put towards her legal fees and that Dre is more than Dre owes her.
Nicole seeks $4.2 million total to pay her legal expenses. She needs $551,000 for work between July and September, $3.5 million in future legal fees, $215,000 appeal costs, and $3.5 million for any further work.
Dre, whose real name was Andre Young, was ordered to pay Nicole $293306 per month for spousal support under a temporary order.
Dre will have to pay $3,519672 annually until Nicole marries or enters into a domestic partnership.
The temporary decision of the judge, including Dre having to cover Nicole’s medical insurance, will be made until a final one is reached.
They were officially declared divorcing in June. However, the pair are still fighting over validity of their prenuptial agreements.
Dre insists on the prenup, but Nicole says that the hip-hop icon has said that he would not enforce it. Nicole wants the prenup to be invalidated.
Dre, a former lawyer claimed that he ripped up several copies of their prenup before they got married. He regretted having ‘pressured’ her into signing it. According to TMZ, she also stated that Dre was worth $1 billion.
In court documents, the Beats Electronics founder claimed complete possession of the $1 billion in family property and assets. Young requested $1 million to maintain the financial status quo.
