Music mogul Dr. Dre issued a statement from Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles where he was transported after reportedly suffering a brain aneurysm.
Dre, real name Andre Romelle Young, issued a statement through his publicist Tuesday night, saying, “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 tell TMZ, Young, 55, suffered a brain aneurysm Monday and was rushed by ambulance to Cedars and taken directly to ICU, where he is “resting comfortably,” an attorney for Dre told Billboard.
Dre is in the midst of a bitter divorce battle with estranged wife Nicole Young, who wants $2 million a month in temporary spousal support and $5 million for attorneys fees, but a judge refused her request for $2 million a month.
The couple has two children, son Truice, 23, and daughter Truly, 19. Dr. Dre also has four adult children from previous relationships.
Young’s celebrity pals took to Twitter to express get well wishes on Tuesday night.
“Dre is recovering nicely,” wrote LL Cool J.
“Prayers up for Dr. Dre and his family for healing & Strength over his mind & body,” tweeted Missy Elliot.
“Praying for Dre,” wrote Ellen DeGeneres.
“Send your love and prayers to the homie Dr. Dre,” wrote Ice Cube.
