Billionaire Hip Hop mogul Dr Dre has claimed that his wife, Nicole Young, refuses to give him his gun, golf clubs and motorcycles as their divorce battle continues.
Dr Dre’s wife of 24 years, Nicole Young, filed for divorce from the Beats Electronics founder, citing irreconcilable differences in June.
The couple has two children, son Truice, 23, and daughter Truly, 19 while the Death Row founder has four other children from previous relationships.
The latest legal documents obtained by The Blast, revealed the full extent of the strife between the couple, with Young reportedly denying the rap mogul access of some of his most coveted possessions.
“Mr. Young sent someone to Malibu this morning to pick up some of his personal belongings (something Ms. Young does almost daily at the Brentwood home).
“At first, your client said ok, but after walking away for 5 minutes (assumedly to you call your office) she came back and rejected the request,” Dre’s lawyers said in a letter to Nicole’s legal team.
The letter further stated: “The items in question are Mr. Young’s golf clubs, his motorcycle, and his registered firearm for return to the gun safe at Chalon.” (the couple’s Brentwood home)
“Please confirm that Mr. Young can have someone return to Malibu to retrieve his personal items without further interference sometime over the next few days,” the letter read.
Largely regarded as one of hip-hop’s greatest producers of all time, Dre rose to fame from the streets of Compton in the 1980s in the groundbreaking gangsta rap group N.W.A.
The six-time Grammy Award winner built his empire as a music producer with Death Row Records and is the founder and chief executive of Aftermath Entertainment.
He later cofounded Beats Electronics, the high-end headphone and speaker company. He sold that company to Apple Inc. in 2014 for upward of $3 million.
