The legendary rap producer is reportedly in the middle of a divorce with his wife, Nicole Young, who wants $2 million a month in temporary spousal support and an additional $5 million for her attorneys. The rap star's wife is reportedly asking the judge to reject their prenuptial agreement, signed in 1996, claiming that Dre ripped it up soon after.
According to the report, a hearing in the case was scheduled for Wednesday.
Dr. Dre was the producer and a prominent member of the gangsta rap band N.W.A., mostly known for their debut album "Straight Outta Compton" in 1988. He later had success as a solo artist, becoming a superstar with his own debut, “The Chronic” in 1992. Producing such successful rappers and musicians as Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, 50 Cent and Snoop Dogg, as well as heading the electronic company with worldwide renowned brand Beats by Dr. Dre, Young later became a music mogul worth nearly $1 billion.
