Dr. Dre opens up about his brain aneurysm

In January 2021, Dr. Dre suffered a brain aneurysm, and it was much scarier than he initially let on.

It was so bad, that his family, including Eminem and Snoop Dogg, gathered in the hospital room where he was staying to say their final goodbyes to the rap legend.

Doctors told the family that the chances of Dre making it through the night were slim. The doctors had to wake him up every hour to take his vital signs because they were really worried about the state of the “doctor” of beats.

In the end, Dre miraculously pulled through.

He was back in the studio a month later!

Then, a year later, he produced and rapped at the Super Bowl halftime in Los Angeles.
