All eyes are on Dr. Dre after the music mogul was accused of being a dead-beat dad. One of his children has come forward to state she is facing poverty and her father, with a net worth of well over $821 million, isn't exactly rushing to her rescue. This made fans dig a bit deeper to figure out what that story was all about and prompted them to uncover some other shocking details about Dr. Dre.
News outlets have reported that the producer extraordinaire has fathered seven children with five different women, and fans want to uncover all the details about each of his kids. Here's what has been unearthed about what all of Dr. Dre's kids have been up to...
8 Curtis Young Is In The Music Scene
Dr. Dre first became a father when he was just a young man himself. He was in high school when he fathered his first son, named Curtis. However, the two were estranged from one another and never even had a chance to meet in person until Curtis was 20-years-old and very much already a grown man himself. Since uniting, Curtis has gone on to follow in his father's footsteps and has immersed himself in the music industry. He's best known by his rap name, 'Hood Surgeon.'
7 Andre Young Jr. Passed Away
Dre's fourth born child was named Andre R Young Jr, and sadly, he lost his life after an accidental drug overdose in 2008. Tragedy struck after he went out with friends one night. He returned to the home he shared with his mother and went to sleep, but he never awoke. She found him in his bed the next day and was unable to revive him. The Los Angeles coroner ruled his death as an accidental overdose caused by heroin and morphine.
6 LaTanya Is Homeless
LaTanya is Dr. Dre's second child, and she is currently in the spotlight for claiming that she is heavily indebted, homeless, and currently living in her car. She came forward with allegations that her father's team blocks her from making direct contact with him, and that she has repeatedly asked for financial assistance, which Dr. Dre used to provide, but has ceased for some reason.
Fans rose to the defense of the 38-year-old mother of four, lashing out at Dr. Dre for sitting on such a massive fortune while refusing to assist his child. To make matters worse, she says her kids have never met their grandfather, and that Dr. Dre's team informed her she was being ignored and financially neglected, because she had spoken to the press about her dad.
5 Marcel Young Stays Away From The Fame Game
The Sun reports that Dr. Dre's middle child is named Marcel Young, and that he is 29-years-old today. He is the half-brother of LaTanya and judging by his absenteeism in the online world, it appears that he prefers to steer clear of the spotlight. While it remains unclear what he is pursuing as far as a career in his adult life, it is assumed that the music industry hasn't been calling his name.
4 Truice Young
Truice Young is one of Dr. Dre's youngest children and is the first child that he shared with Nicole Young. He's 23-years-old and not much is known about Truice, aside from the fact that he has attended the University of South Carolina. He graduated with impressive grades in 2020 and dipped back into seclusion. He not only maintains a relationship with his dad, but the two seem very close, especially after the media caught wind of the fact that they went out to get matching tattoos.
3 Truly Young Is In The Film Industry
Truly Young may only be 19-years-old, but she is well on her way to a very lucrative and highly successful career in the film industry. She has passionately thrown herself into the film industry and spent much of her time studying at the film school of the University of Southern California. Truly clearly has the support of her father, and the two seem to share a very close bond with one another. Dr. Dre boasted her success on his Instagram account and even poked fun at Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli's college scandal by saying that she did it "all on her own with no jail time involved."
2 Tyra Young Is A Mystery
One of Dr. Dre's children, Tyra Young, is an absolute mystery. She has been declared as being his daughter by a variety of news outlets over the years, but it has never been clear who her mom is. Tyra stays out of the press but is reportedly leading a fairly exposed lifestyle. She is an actress and TV Producer who is best known for her contributions to the show Take 6 and the film Ropes Of Silicon.
1 Ashley And Latoya Are MIA
Ashley and Latoya are Dr. Dre's kids and share the same mother as LaTanya. Their mother filed for child support for all three children, yet strangely, Dr. Dre has only ever accepted his paternity status where LaTanya is involved. Ashley and Latoya remain his mystery, "secret" children who are not spoken of very often. By all accounts, it is assumed they do not share a bond or relationship with Dr. Dre.
