On January 4, hip-hop fans everywhere were in for very scary news as Dr. Dre was admitted into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in their ICU care. This was for a brain aneurysm that he was going through. Luckily though, the west coast legend said that he was doing great and receiving excellent care.

“Thanks to my family, friends and fans for their interest and well wishes. I’m doing great and getting excellent care from my medical team. I will be out of the hospital and back home soon. Shout out to all the great medical professionals at Cedars. One Love!!”

Luckily for Dre, more great news continued to arrive as this past weekend, he was able to leave the hospital that he was at. According to TMZ, he left ICU care on Wednesday. Despite being able to go home, Dre still has to receive care from medical professionals there over the next few weeks. 

As of now, there is still no cause of his brain aneurysm. Dre was kept in ICU/hospital care for a week in order to make nothing else severe happened. He has since FaceTimed with Ice T and was said to have looked great.

Dre has also wasted no time in getting back to the studio to create new music after his release from the hospital. Producer, Focus, took to his Instagram to post a photo of himself with Dre and others in a room as everyone looked very happy to have him back. It’s unclear who’s music was being worked on though but nonetheless, there were good vibes all around. 

“?? ??? ??? ?? ????? ????!!!We Working… I TOOK THE PIC SO IM HERE!!!#AFTERMATH #aftermathematix”

Unfortunately, when Dre was in ICU, people tried to take advantage of his situation. A day after the producer/rapper was admitted, four men attempted to enter his Pacific Palisades home, according to TMZ. They tried to enter the home at 2am. Fortunately, security saw them immediately and called police. 

They attempted to flee the scene but police were able to apprehend them quickly. They ended up being charged with attempted burglary and are reportedly still in custody following the incident. 

As if Dre wasn’t dealing with a lot with the brain aneurysm situation, he continues to deal with the process of the divorce of his estranged wife, Nicole Young. The two had been married since 1996. 

During the week that Dre was hospitalized, he agreed to pay Young $ 2 million in temporary spousal support. Dre also agreed to pay $500,000 to cover her attorney fees. This $2 million check is a one-time payment, but TMZ also stated that this is the case at least until their next court hearing in April. Young also claimed that Dre held her at gun point before.
