That’s right. Dr. Dre is set to become the first billionaire in hip-hop, following a deal with Apple purchasing the Beats By Dre brand for an astonishing $3.2 billion. While it first appeared as a rumor, a video has recently surfaced starring Tyrese and Dre himself, with the hip-hop heavyweight stating his newfound wealth and taking over the number one position on the Forbes list. If/when the deal is confirmed, his net worth will be well beyond Diddy, making the West Coast pioneer part of one of the biggest deals in product history.
