55-year-old American rapper and music producer, Andre Romelle Young, known professionally as Dr. Dre, has reportedly paid his ex-wife Nicole Young $2 million in temporary spousal support while he recovers from a brain aneurysm in a Los Angeles hospital.
According to legal documents filed Wednesday, Dec 6, the mega producer authorized the $2 million payment from his hospital bed.
Dr. Dre suffered a brain aneurysm Monday, Dec 4, and was rushed by ambulance to Cedars and taken directly to ICU, where he is “resting comfortably” according to his lawyer.
A hearing on the matter of the couple’s divorce was heard in a courtroom on Wednesday, Dec 6.
Dre, whose real name is Andre Young, was represented by his attorneys in court.
The judge postponed the divorce proceedings until a later date to give Dre time to heal from his brain injury.
According to the agreement, obtained by The Blast, Nicole will receive $2 million by Monday, and she will be responsible to cover her living expenses and attorney fees.
As reported, Nicole wants $2 million a month in temporary spousal support plus $5 million for attorneys fees.
