Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Snoop Dogg to Perform at This Year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show
After basically ignoring the Atlanta music scene when the Big Game was there a few years ago, the NFL decided to not make the same mistake twice. For this year’s game at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, the NFL is giving the Super Bowl Halftime show a distinctly Los Angeles feel, as Compton natives Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar will be joined by Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Long Beach’s own Snoop Dogg. This will be Dr. Dre’s first live performance since headlining Coachella with Snoop Dogg in 2012 (the one with 2Pac’s hologram). “The opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime show, and to do it in my own backyard, will be one of the biggest thrills of my career,” Dr. Dre said in a statement. “I’m grateful to Jay-Z, Roc Nation, the NFL, and Pepsi as well as Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige an...
Dr. Dre Ordered To Pay His Ex-Wife $1.5 Million in Legal Fees
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz The hits keep on coming for Dr. Dre, but not in the way that he’s used to that would lead to platinum plaques. After being ordered to pay his ex-wife $300K a month in spousal support until she remarries (never gonna happen), Page Six is reporting that he nows has to reimburse her for her lawyer fees at the tune of $1.5 million. After already forking over a cool $2 million to his ex-wife, Nicole Young, a judge ordered the good doctor to pay an additional $1.55 million in legal fees and costs. “The judge estimated that Nicole’s reasonable legal fees in the case so far should total $3 million, plus costs. Dre will now have to pay $1 million towards the balance of her fees, plus another $550,000 in costs associated with the cas...
Hold This L: Dr. Dre Sends Bizarre Tweet After 2 Year Hiatus, Twitter Tries To Figure Out What It Means
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Dr. Dre’s once-dormant official Twitter account says that “Dr. Dre doesn’t Tweet” but apparently he hands out Ls. The good Doc lit up the Internet with his first tweet in two years when his account commented underneath a post by a Twitter user named @bowyoade about British singer-songwriter VV Brown‘s feature in the Metro UK. He replied with a lonely “L”. But why? The Internet started sleuthing. What is the significance of the L? Does it mean she lost? Is the L the Roman numeral 50? Is she an ex? Maybe he forgot to log out of his burner account like Kevin Durant famously once did? Dr. Dre’s previous tweet was from 2019 when he posted a photo of him and Kanye West with a caption teasing that Kanye’s “Jesus Is ...

Grandmaster Flash Says He Heard Dr. Dre’s New Album And It Will Change The Game
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Even though he is a music icon Dr. Dre doesn’t have the best track record with delivering new music. Apparently Grandmaster Flash has heard his new album and according to him it will change the game. As spotted on HipHopDX the legendary DJ was out and about last week. During his rounds in Los Angeles last week the founding member of N.W.A. invited him to pull up to his estate. Naturally anyone who receives that type of invite is most likely expecting to hear some unreleased music. Luckily the Bronx, New York native got just that and received an early listen to a forthcoming Dr. Dre project. That day he posted a photo to Instagram detailing the special moment. “Here in LA doing the Disco Oasis with Nile Rogers toni...
In Rare Instagram Post Dr. Dre Agrees With T-Pain About Rappers Being “Repetitive”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 T-Pain’s hilarious rant about rappers all sounding the same resonated with none other than Dr. Dre himself. Wednesday (Jul.15), the legendary Hip-Hop producer and Beats By Dre co-founder chimed in on T-Pain’s Twitch session where he called out new rappers for sending him music that sounds like everyone else’s stuff. In a rare Instagram post, The Chronic crafter shared T-Pizzle’s video and wrote in the caption, “Shoutout to @tpain!! I’m here laughing my fuckin ass off, but he’s right. I know and feel exactly what you’re saying. When the good doc speaks, we know he is more than likely speaking from experience, having to listen to submissions from artists all of the time. We know Dr. Dre has a great ear for talent becau...

Outside All Summer: Dr. Dre Is Officially A Single Man
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz It seems one of Dr. Dre’s biggest projects is finally complete. His divorce to his long-time wife is finally complete. As spotted on TMZ the legendary producer officially has formally ended his marriage to Nicole Young. According to the celebrity news site the judge presiding over their case has approved the break up thus legally ending their marriage of almost 25 years. While we are sure that Dre took the judgement as good news this is far from the end of his battle with his child’s mother. This recent decision only speaks to their legal separation but does not conclude their prenuptial agreement woes. According to Nicole she signed the papers prior to their holy union but she alleges the Compton rapper had tore ...
Dr. Dre Is About To Officially Become A Bachelor
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Apega/WENN.com / WENN That took a while. After months of a bitter and ugly divorce proceeding, Dr. Dre and Nicole Young are officially single and ready to mingle… well, kinda. The Blast is reporting that the judge overseeing their divorce is ready to sign off on legally separating the couple after the two agreed on their single “status” at this point in their lives. According to the legal documents the couple agreed to officially end their marriage as of April 15, 2021. Still, the financial part of everything is far from settled and will likely drag on until they come to some sort of agreement or Dr. Dre goes broke trying to protect his assets. Several weeks ago, Dr. Dre filed legal documents asking the judge to “bifurcate” the status of their divorc...
Judge Removes Dr. Dre Lawyers From His Divorce Proceedings
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Another day another change-up outta left field in the Dr. Dre and Nicole Young divorce proceedings. The latest twist in the bitter back-and-forth between the iconic producer/rapper and his soon-to-be ex-wife comes from the judge overseeing the case as Page Six is reporting that Dr. Dre needs to find new representation in his ongoing divorce. According to the report the judge ruled that power divorce attorney Laura Wasser and Howard King cannot represent the “Still D.R.E.” rapper due to King’s history of working with the couple throughout their marriage and instructed Dre to “obtain counsel as soon as possible.” With Wasser and King handling his divorce it seemed like Dr. Dre was going to have a pretty strong team handling h...

Dr. Dre Withdrew From Verzuz After Seeing Teddy Riley’s Struggle Sound Setup [Video]
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Dr. Dre has proven once again that he might have the pickiest taste in Hip-Hop. We now have some context of why he will not be battling on today’s hottest platform. As spotted on Complex Swizz Beatz and Timbaland recently conducted an interview on The Breakfast Club. The duo recently sold Verzuz to Thriller so the two broke down why the move is significant to the culture. As they got deeper into the conversation they fielded questions regarding some dream battles and some face offs that have yet to come to life. Naturally the founding N.W.A. member’s name came up and to hear them tell it he bowed out; respectfully. “When Dr. Dre wasn’t feeling the sound from Teddy Riley and Babyface, that hurt our heart. Oh my God,” Sw...
