Dr Dre’s home target of attempted burglary as the rapper, 55, remains in hospital after ‘brain aneurysm’
DR. DRE’s home was the target of an attempted burglary as the rapper, 55, remains in hospital after “brain aneurysm.”
Just a few hours after Dr. Dre updated his fans that he was recovering well following a trip to the ICU due to a brain aneurysm, his home was targeted by a burglary ring last night, ABC7 reported.
Cops revealed that nothing was taken from his home.
Police told the news outlet that during a surveillance operation in Brentwood, Los Angeles, officers spotted a suspicious SUV believed to be involved in the ring.
After a short chase, the suspects were caught and four people were taken into custody.
Inside their vehicle, police claim they found a backpack full of tools used to burglarize, saws, and crowbars.
Police say that suspects would bang on fences and doors before breaking into homes.
This attempted burglary came just hours following Dr. Dre being rushed to the hospital and placed in intensive care after suffering a brain aneurysm.
TMZ reported the news on Tuesday, revealing that Dr. Dre is at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Following the news, Dr. Dre broke his silence on Tuesday night and said he would be “back home soon.”
Alongside a snap of himself in the studio on Instagram, Dr. Dre said: “Thanks to my family, friends and fans for their interest and well-wishes.
“I’m doing great and getting excellent care from my medical team. I will be out of the hospital and back home soon. Shout out to all the great medical professionals at Cedars. One Love!!”
Sources close to 55-year-old producer told TMZ that he suffered the aneurysm on Monday before he was rushed by an ambulance to the hospital, where he was taken directly to ICU.
The insider added that the music mogul is stable and lucid, though doctors don’t know what caused the bleeding.
They are conducting a battery of tests to determine the cause of the aneurysm.
The scary medical emergency comes as former N.W.A. star Dr. Dre battles his ex Nicole in court during their nasty divorce battle.
The former couple, who married in 1995, revealed they were divorcing in June 2020 with Nicole citing irreconcilable differences as the reason behind the split.
This will be the second divorce for Nicole, who was previously married to NBA player Sedale Threatt.
The split may not come as a surprise to some fans, as the last time Dr. Dre and his ex were seen together was in February 2020 at a Tom Ford fashion show.
Back in September 2020, it was reported that Nicole was seeking $2million a month in spousal support.
TMZ reported that Nicole accused the producer of hiding valuable assets after they split, such as trademarks for his stage name and “The Chronic” album.
Sources close to the musician told the outlet that Nicole’s claim is “ridiculous,” noting that it is an attempt to embarrass him.
What happened to Dr Dre?
On January 5, 2021, it was reported that Dre had been rushed to the hospital and put in intensive care after suffering a “brain aneurysm”.
TMZ said that Dre was taken to the Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Sources close to the music producer told the outlet that he suffered the aneurysm on January 4, 2021.
He was then taken by ambulance to the hospital, where he was sent directly to ICU.

The insider told TMZ: “They were married in 1996. Chronic came out in ’92 and Dr. Dre used his name since the 80’s, so it’s all his and his alone.”
She responded by calling Dre’s move an “epic failure and reveals the true nature of his character, or lack thereof.”
The former couple share two kids together: Truice, born 1997, and Truly, born 2001.
Dr. Dre has six kids – four daughters and two sons – with five different women.
