Dr. Dre Wants You To Know… (He’s The 1st Hip-Hop Billionaire!) [VIDEO]

May, 9 2014 | Written by ATLien
It’s Official! The super producer/entrepreneur Dr. Dre is not the worlds 1st hip-hop BILLIONAIRE!

A video shot by R&B artist Tyrese Gibson seems to confirm all the talk about Apple buying up Beats Electronics.

Beats’ founder is rapper and entrepreneur Dr. Dre (Andre Young), and he’s pointing right at the lens in Gibson’s video as he states:

The first billionaire in hip hop right here from the motherf—-n West Coast!”

The Financial Times was first to report the sale yesterday (May 8, 2014) that Apple is closing in on a $3.2 billion purchase of the high-end headphones and streaming music service, however at that time, representatives from Apple and Beats both declined comment.

Apparently the deal is done, so it’s all good now tho…

Check out Dr. Dre’s official confirmation of the sale below…

VIDEO: Dr. Dre Announces He’s The First HipHop Billionaire

In the video above, Tyrese and friends join Dr. Dre in celebrating the huge sale of his company, stating:

“Billionaire boys club for real homie,” Gibson said. “The Forbes list just changed. It came out like two weeks ago. They need to update the Forbes list!”

Congrats to Dr. Dre on this historic landmark!

  He speaking too soon, wait until the chips fall where they may. The corporation IS worth $3.2 Billion. Not necessarily Dr. Dre- he´s a shareholder. He should know better, but what if, he´s not necessarily on top of his accounting? That´s why he pulled it back, because he´s not thinking of taxes and all that. It could very well be he´s a billionaire, or just very close to that mark. I´m convinced 50 Cent and Dr. Dre, are great at lending their name out, and just luck out, because they rely on good business partners with smart men who know how to market them out.
  
  MsIKnowMoreThanYou
  
  He already badly accounting…….posting he’s hiphops first billlionaire.uhmmmm, how? Ur a shareholder babyyy lol
  
  larry love
  
  you mad or nah? He still has more money than the above adverage person can spend in a lifetime so even if her retained 50% of the shares…he was already worth over 300mil so im sure the net would put him OVER a billion
  
  MsIKnowMoreThanYou
  
  Calm down larry. U dickriding or nahh?
  Dre paying u or nahhh?
  U own shares in the company or NAHH?
- Tasha Jones
  
  What is he gonna do for you until then I don´t care
  
  MsIKnowMoreThanYou
  
  Great thinking Tasha. & my nephews got beats for xmas & reported several malfunctions within a month *thumbs down*
- Bane Brady
  
  Then why is tmz reporting after taxes with his other income forbes says its about 800 million??? That he only owns 25% of the company???
- Jeff Garrett
  
  Despite all the negativity in these comments, he has come a long way from where he started…
- Donna Turner
  
  How mad is Fifty Cents right now? LOL
- Yvonne Fishley
  
  Good job
- Crystal NateDogg McDowell
  
  Dre ain´t worried about taxes he know what he needs to do he´s a very smart man
- LaToya Hicks
  
  Dr. Dre own 25% of the company and his partner Jimmy Levine owns 25%. The remaininh 50 is owned by various investors. Soooo no he is not getting 3.2 billion but he stands to make a nice chunk of change!

  Loving This Site
  
  Nice to see him rise from humble beginnings
- anotherNote
  
  Congrats to Dre, but noone knows how much he got from this or what Apple acquired (I am sure its over a billion though), why because neither one of them have made a official statement of what is what. Not saying Apple is not buying but Dre has sold half the company before and being that Beats products are already sold in Apple store, I am sure its some more to the news.
- Kellie Martin
  
  They 4got about Dre? I think not!

  Congrats Dre!!!

  According to major news contributors , he will not become a billionaire. Dr Dre only owns 20-25% of the company, he has a partner. The sale of said company is to Apple for $3.5 billion so after fed/state taxes and his partners share, he will be worth $800 million which makes him the riches man in hip hop $100 million more then P Diddy…which it´s still Excellent! Look it up.
- Miguel Johnson
  
  Forbes estimates that after taxes on the payout he will be worth $880 million. His billionaire proclamation may be a little premature
- Regina Strehlow
  
  All yall forgot that he´s worth over 400 million now….plus what he´s getting. Do the math….
- Seth Mcconnell
  
  With Dr Dre, I really hadnt had a doubt in my mind,that he wasnt a Billionaire
- Cmgncte James
  
  Astonishing.
- Cmgncte James
  
  Compton, California 213 | 310 | 510 WE SALUTE DR. DRE!!!! UNTIL TIME CEASES TO EXIST
- Kim
  
  He is not a billionaire forbes list stated his fortune is only 800 million after the Beats deal
- Redbone
  
  I’m happy for him!!!
