Dr Dre is legally single

US rapper and Forgot About Dre hitmaker, Andre Young, popularly known by his stage name, Dr Dre is finally a single man. Dre and Nicole filed for divorce in June 2020 after 24 years of marriage.

It hasn’t been smooth sailing for the couple who have spent over a year fighting over the music producer’s millions and who should get to spend it.

Prenup drama

While Nicole’s lawyers demanded that Dre has been bragging about being a billionaire for years now and can afford to foot the bill for the lavish lifestyle that Nicole has obviously grown accustomed to, the rapper argued that he had a prenup drawn up before he and Nicole got married.

Unfortunately for him, Nicole has a pretty good memory and detailed in court how the star had torn up the prenup after the wedding after feeling regretful for forcing her to sign it, reports TMZ.

Dre must pay

It is however worth noting that this is only a temporary ruling and could change soon.
