Dr. Dre has launched a new legal salvo in his controversial divorce from Nicole Young by submitting a prenuptial agreement that his ex refuses to acknowledge.
The agreement states that properties purchased by Dre of Young will be kept separate during a divorce, TMZ reported Wednesday.
While the document may prevent his estranged wife from taking ownership of his property, it still allows her to receive marital support in the divorce.

Despite the filing, it is up to the judge overseeing the divorce to determine whether the marriage contract is valid and enforceable.
Young claimed that Dre (real name: Andre Young) previously ripped off the agreement shortly after they got married, although he has denied her claim.
The marriage contract seems to state that it can only be revoked or amended in writing, and Dre claims that step was never taken.

The 50-year-old attorney filed staggering sums from Dre during their divorce proceedings, including $ 5 million for her attorney fees and $ 1.5 million for incidentals, including for security.
In October, the judge turned down the request for security charges, declining to speed up the $ 5 million in legal fees.
Young has solicited an astonishing $ 2 million a month in partner support from her ex-husband.
However, Dre’s lawyer, Laura Wasser, claims the Nuthin ‘But A’ G ‘Thang rapper has covered all of her costs since their divorce.
His latest filing says he is paying for their Malibu home where Young currently resides, as well as security.

If she needs money, a courier will deliver cash, the statement said.
A statement filed by Dre from his Certified Public Accountant claims that his ex is only spending the still-massive $ 293,306 a month, suggesting she’s inflated the amount requested above her needs and is used to what she’s used to.
In November, TMZ reported that Young had filed documents requesting that Dre be forced to testify in person, rather than his preferred option to testify remotely via video chat.
She claims he violated coronavirus safety recommendations in his personal life, and the remote testimony could allow his lawyers to coach him.
Young also tries to sue her ex-husband’s alleged mistresses during their trial.
She and Dre share two children, a 23-year-old son Truice and a 19-year-old daughter Truly.
