Dre, who is 55 years old, is currently in the middle of a nasty divorce with his longtime wife, Nicole Young. TMZ recently reported that Young filed papers claiming that the legendary producer has $262 million available to him in cash and Apple stock. Young is seeking $2 million a month in spousal support plus an additional $5 million to cover her various legal fees. He has balked at this deal, calling the demands "ridiculous." The two have been married since 1996.
Young has also detailed several instances of alleged abuse from Dre. According to court documents that PEOPLE got a hold of, Dre "held a gun to her head" twice, once in 2000 and once in 2001. She also alleges that he "punched" her in the "head/face" and "kicked down a door" while she hid "from his rage." Those instances allegedly occurred in 1999, 200, and 2016.
