The rapper “What’s the Difference” is currently in the middle of a much-discussed and nasty divorce from his wife of 24 years, Nicole Young. The couple retired in June 2020, according to Los Angeles County court documents, cited by The Blast. Young filed on June 29 citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason.

She is asking for support for Dre’s marriage, whose estimated net worth is about $ 800 million, TMZ reported. Dre and Young share two grown children, Truice and Truly. Due to the rapper’s current health condition, it’s very likely that downtown Los Angeles audience will be delayed to a later date.

Young asks the judge to reject the couple’s marriage contract, which he signed in 1996, but alleges that Dre broke up early in their marriage. However, the Beats By Dre co-founder denies having done such a thing. Young is asking for $ 2 million a month in temporary partner support and $ 5 million in attorney fees, according to the paper.

Prayers and good wishes for the rapper flooded Twitter after the news of his hospitalization

The news that the rap tycoon was in the ICU shook friends, celebrities and fans on Tuesday night, who expressed their good wishes and prayers on Twitter.
