According to TMZ, Dr. Dre is denying the abuse claims made by his estranged wife Nicole Young. 

In court documents obtained by the outlet, Dre claims Nicole brought forth the abuse allegations to squeeze him for money in the divorce. He says it was only after she filed for divorce and realized the prenuptial agreement barred her from staking claim to half of his wealth that she began accusing him of abuse. 

Dre called the allegations against him "appalling" and also denies ever forcing Nicole into signing a prenup. For the time being, Dre will continue to pay for Nicole's living expenses at the Malibu home they shared as well as Nicole's mother's Pacific Palisades pad.
