LAPD investigating wife of Dr. Dre for embezzlement: report
Nicole Young, the estranged wife of rapper and headphones mogul Dr. Dre (né Andre Young), is being investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department for embezzlement, according to a report.
Nicole Young reportedly withdrew hundreds of thousands of dollars from a business account, TMZ reported. A complaint was allegedly filed by Larry Chatman, Dr. Dre’s business partner.
A total of $385,029 is missing from the account, according to the complaint. While Dr. Dre did not file the criminal complaint, he has reportedly made the missing money a part of his ongoing divorce proceedings with Young. Nicole Young’s attorneys have said that the embezzlement claim is a smear attempt and part of the divorce that has grown especially contentious.
Young has previously said she has received death threats as a result of her and Dr. Dre’s divorce.
Nicole Young filed for divorce from the rapper after 24 years of marriage in June. The splitting couple share two adult children.
