What happened to Dr Dre? Hip-hop mogul admitted into the ICU at Cedars Sinai Medical Center

While he is stable as of now, doctors are unable to determine what caused the bleeding in the first place and are performing tests

Andre Romelle Young, most popularly known as Dr Dre, has reportedly been hospitalized this week in Los Angeles. The news comes as a surprise to many as publications reported that the rapper and record producer was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Cedars Sinai Medical Center on Monday, January 4.

According to reports, Dr Dre still remains in the hospital as on Tuesday night and is "stable and lucid". He was admitted this week after suffering a brain aneurysm. TMZ had reported that sources connected to the record executive "with direct knowledge" said that after the rapper suffered the aneurysm, he was rushed to Cedars and admitted immediately to the ICU. While he is stable now, doctors are unable to determine what caused the bleeding in the first place and are performing tests. 

It is public news that Dr Dre is in the middle of a divorce with his wife Nicole in recent times, and his estranged spouse is asking for $2 million in "temporary spousal support" and $5 million for attorney fees. The rapper had claimed that he's already been paying her expenses and, according to TMZ, called her demands "outlandish" and "outrageous".

Nicole, on the other hand, is asking the judge to "reject" the couple's prenuptial agreement that she had signed in 1996 revealing that her estranged husband had "ripped it up" already. There is to be a hearing on the matter on Wednesday, January 6, in LA, but since one half of the duo is recovering in an ICU, we're expecting that the hearing will be postponed.

Fans of the rapper sent their good wishes all over Twitter with one writing, "And we thought 2021 was sposed to bring relief. Dr Dre get well." Some were so shocked that a prayer community started on the social media channel will many begging that the rapper doesn't die. Another fan added, "Dr Dre, please for the love of all that is holy, do not die. Everyone is dying, you don't have to die too. Please."

Yet another added, "I hope he recovers as well! I'm sure all of his pals in the music industry are really sad right now. I may be a metalhead but I have respect for a lot of old school rappers. Would be sad if we lost Dr Dre... I'm not religious but I'd pray for him."
