March 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Dr. Dre to Receive Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

Three years after his harrowing experience with a brain aneurysm, music producer and rapper Dr. Dre has revealed that he also suffered three strokes while in the hospital. In a candid interview on SiriusXM’s This Life of Mine with James Corden, Dre reflected on the ordeal and how it transformed his perspective on life.

Recalling the onset of the ordeal, Dr. Dre described waking up with a strange sensation behind his right ear, which quickly escalated into excruciating pain. Despite initially attempting to brush it off and rest, he soon found himself rushed to the hospital by his son’s friend. Opting for an urgent care facility first, Dre was swiftly redirected to the hospital as doctors deemed his condition critical.

During his two-week stay in the ICU, Dre experienced moments of consciousness interspersed with blackouts, a testament to the severity of his condition. Reflecting on the experience, he recounted hearing doctors remark on his luck, emphasizing the gravity of the situation.

At the time, Dre wrestled with questions about whether the aneurysm could have been prevented through better focus on his physical health. Despite his dedication to fitness, including weightlifting and running, he was blindsided by the diagnosis of high blood pressure, a condition often termed the “silent killer” due to its asymptomatic nature.

Ultimately, Dre learned that the aneurysm was hereditary and beyond his control, underscoring the importance of regular health check-ups, particularly for conditions prevalent in Black men like high blood pressure.

Make sure you stay on top of your health—that’s the true wealth.

The ongoing legal battle between Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert has taken a new turn as Taylor demands transparency regarding Shumpert’s finances and expenditures, particularly in relation to their two children. Last week, it was reported that Shumpert sought increased financial contributions from Taylor, claiming she earns twice as much as him per month. Now, Taylor is demanding receipts and documentation from Shumpert for various expenses, including recent luxury purchases and expenditures related to their children’s upbringing.

According to court documents obtained by Radar Online, Taylor and her legal team have submitted a comprehensive list of items they require Shumpert to produce. Among the demands are details regarding Shumpert’s recent purchase of a Bentley SUV and his acquisition of 20 vintage cars since January 2021. Taylor also seeks documentation related to Shumpert’s past criminal arrests, including a possession of marijuana charge in Texas in 2022 and a DUI arrest in Georgia in 2016.

Furthermore, Taylor has requested proof of Shumpert’s income from his various endeavors in the music industry, including producer fees, performance royalties, endorsement deals, and payments as a social media influencer. Additionally, she has asked for receipts for expenses related to their children’s upbringing, such as clothing, shoes, payments to nannies, birthday parties, hair expenses, and extracurricular activities.

In her recent motion, Taylor emphasized the importance of transparency in the ongoing custody battle, stating, “Receipts for your purchase and/or payment for any and all clothing, shoes, payments to nannies, expenses for birthday parties, hair expenses for the minor children, extracurricular activities, birthday celebrations, and nannies to assist and other expenses for the minor children.”

Taylor, who filed for divorce from Shumpert in January 2023, has demanded sole custody of their children and financial support. As the legal proceedings unfold, Taylor’s request for transparency sheds light on the difficulties of divorce and parenting.
