Share on FacebookShare on Twitter
  • Dr. Dre children are 9 with 5 women even though he has been married only twice
  • The 59 years old had his first child when he was 16 and lost one of his children to a drug overdose
  • The rapper and producer has been accused of abandoning some of his children 

Dr. Dre children have been cut up in different works of life and while a number have made a name for themselves, most of them have reached stardom as a result of being associated with the American rapper, entrepreneur, and producer. The children are a total of 9 but Andre Jr. died of an overdose; hence the current children of Andre Young are 8.

Dre, the 7-time Grammy winner started having children at the age of 16 at the time he was in high school. Time progressed and he would count the number of the women he’s had kids with to 5. Both the women and children have led to several controversies in the life of the man that changed the phase of gangsta rap.

Dr. Dre is 59 years old and was born Andre Romelle Young on February 18 1965 in Compton, California. He started his rise to fame right in 1985 and along the line, he made music that would contribute to changing the phase of Gansta rap, West Coast hip, and G-funk. As much as there is a lot to focus on in his music career and his immense contributions to the rise of many artists, we’d rather concentrate on his children, baby mamas, and relationships.

A post shared by CURTIS YOUNG (@curtisyoungofficial)

Curtis is currently 43 years old and was born on December 15, 1981.

Dre did not raise his first son and Curtis did not know that Dr. Dre was his father until he was 12 years old. He would however meet his father when he was 20 years old.

At present, the father and son seem to have a good relationship. Curtis also has joined the path of music as a rapper who adopted Hood Surgeon as his stage name. He is famous for studio albums such as Son of a Doctor (2007), The Legacy Continues… (2008), and Product of DNA (2010) with songs like She’s Flawless and I Come From a Place.

Michel’le met Dr. Dre when she was 16 years old and active in music. In the course of their relationship, she became engaged to the rapper and producer and had Marcel, their son in 1991.

However, their relationship soon ended because Dre was accused of cheating, heavy drinking, and physical abuse that led to her having a broken nose, cracked rib, 5 black eyes, and surgery.

Michel’le who continues to be successful in music recounts how toxic the relationship was and how Dre almost killed her with a gunshot that the bullet ended on a door. However, it was not until she discovered that he was engaged to someone else that she left.

Dre’s business colleague, friend, and co-founder of Death Row Records Suge Knight helped Michel’le with her drug addiction and in 1999, they became married and later separated. Before then, she had a daughter with him, Bailei Knight.

Nicole Young first came to the public as the former wife of retired NBA player, Sedale Threatt. Her fame grew when she became the wife of Dre and later the mother of Truice Young and Truly Young.

The ex-couple became married on May 25, 1996, only to divorce after more than 2 decades in 2020 and accused him of emotional and physical abuse. He was made by the court to pay a temporary $293,306 to Nicole.

Dr. Dre Has Been Accused of Having Other Children Who Are Not Know By The Public

The singer has been called out for allegedly having a child out of his marriage to Nicole Young. In a report, his alleged mistress, Kili Anderson allegedly has a child with him but keeps it lowkey.

There is barely any information as regards the identity of the said child and neither is there any revelation if the rapper may have any other children from other relationships that may have been kept out of the lens.

Regardless, in 2017, he went on social media to discredit a person, “Lou G” who claims to be his son on Instagram. However, some users on the platform attacked him with the claim that the man in question may be related to him but he would not accept.
