Dr. Dre Touches on Divorce and Brain Aneurysm Scare in Preview of New Song
The music legend is joined by KXNG Crooked on the unreleased track.
Dr. Dre seems to be opening up about his recent divorce and hospitalization in a new track with KXNG Crooked.
DJ Silk took to Instagram Live to share a preview of the collaboration, which hears Dre rapping over his distinct piano-laden beats. The music icon’s bars are straightforward: “Trying to kill me with them lies and that perjury / I see you trying to f*ck me while I’m in surgery / In ICU, death bed, on some money shit / Greedy b*tch, take a pick / Girl you know how money get.”
At the start of 2021, Dre was sent to the ICU after suffering a brain aneurysm but was pictured back in the studio by mid-January. He was joined by friends and previous collaborators like The D.O.C., Focus…, Trevor Lawrence Jr. and Dem Jointz in several photos, with the latter captioning his Instagram post “And We Back!! #Detox21.” This, of course, ignited rumors that Dre’s sought-after Detox album is finally dropping this year.
Prior to his brain aneurysm scare, Dre’s now-ex-wife Nicole Young filed for divorce after 24 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences and accusing him of abuse. Recent court documents obtained showed Young alleging that the producer held a gun to her head twice in 2000 and 2001, punched her “in the head/face” in 1999 and 2000 and that he “kicked down a door” while she was trying to hide “from his rage” in 2016. Dre responded in court saying that “at no time did I ever abuse Nicole or threaten her physical safety,” but Young called this “a blatant lie.”
Elsewhere in music, Daft Punk has officially announce their split.
