Dr. Dre’s rise into the spotlight came with a scary moment, as the legendary music producer suffered an almost life-ending brain aneurysm at the beginning of 2021. During an interview on ‘Workout The Doubt,’ Dre spoke candidly about the moment, revealing doctors didn’t think he would pull through from the aneurysm. 

Dre said, “I’m at Cedars Sinai hospital, and they weren’t allowing anybody to come up, meaning visitors or family or anything like that, because of COVID, but they allowed my family to come in.” The producer said he found why they let his family come up to see him despite COVID protocols, saying, “they called them up so they could say their last goodbyes because they thought I was outta here.”

Dr. Dre then noted he didn’t realize the severity of the aneurysm, saying, “I didn’t know it was that serious, you know? Seeing my mom and my sister and everybody coming in the room. Nobody told me, I had no idea.” Dre then detailed the process of spending time to get his health back in order. Watch above.
