Back in January, there were rumors that the 56-year-old producer had revived his scrapped Detox album after being released from the hospital for a brain aneurysm.
On the personal side, Dre recently reached an agreement that would finalize his divorce from ex-wife Nicole Young. Dre was seen celebrating the news by posing under a balloon arch that spelled out “Divorced AF.”
