“He’s resting comfortably,” an attorney for Dre tells Billboard via email.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and Grammy-winning producer, engineer and co-founding member of N.W.A produced a number of his own hits and multiplatinum albums throughout his career, along with crafting music for Eminem, Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent, Eve, Jay-Z, Nas, Busta Rhymes, Xzibit, the Game, Anderson .Paak and many more.
He founded Beats Electronics in 2008 with Jimmy Iovine and the duo later launched the Beats Music streaming subscription service. Apple acquired both in 2014. Dre is also the co-owner of Death Row Records.
Dre is in the midst of a divorce from his wife, Nicole Young, after a 24-year marriage, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. The couple has two adult children, 23-year-old son Truice and 19-year-old daughter Truly.
Dr. Dre has four children from previous relationships.
Late Tuesday, Dre’s N.W.A bandmate Ice Cube tweeted, asking followers to send “love and prayers to the homie Dr. Dre.”
