“Prayers up for Dr. Dre. You are the reason why I produce music,” Charlie Puth tweeted. Magic Johnson expressed his warm wishes from him and his wife, Cookie, telling him, “Get well soon my friend!” Ice Cube and his son, actor O’Shea Jackson Jr., tweeted that they’re also praying for Young’s speedy recovery.
I didn’t want this to be my first tweet of 2021 but I had to stop working just to say I just prayed for Dr. Dre and his family.
Me and my family are with you

The news comes amid Dre’s lengthy divorce battle with his estranged wife Nicole Young. Young is requesting $2 million a month in temporary spousal support and $5 million for attorney fees, to which Dre has countered with a refusal. The couple has a scheduled hearing in Downtown LA on Wednesday, but under the circumstances, Dre will more than likely be absent.
