So, we placed up a video with Dr.Dre going ham with Tyrese in celebration of being the FIRST billionaire rapper. Has Dr.Dre celebrated too soon or nah?

Via TMZ.com:

It appears Dre only owns 25% of the company … so the max he’d make off the sale is $800 MIL.   After state and federal taxes, he’s left with $480 MIL, and when you add in Dre’s other assets, that’s how Forbes now comes up with $800 MIL.  Close but no cigar.

Well, that’s 480 MILLION dollars more than I’ve got so I’m not mad at it. If not quite a billionaire yet, Dr.Dre you just go right ahead and speak it into existence!
