In his interview with Rolling Stone, the artist stated that he just did it, and there is nothing you can do but talk about that incident again. 

There is no big deal, but because he just threw her through a door, he said. 

Considered a Hip-Hop Mogul

Let’s recall the year 2008 when Dre expanded his hip-hop brand. 

Yes, that’s the year where the artist found Beats Electronics along with Jimmy Iovine, who serves as a record producer. 

Moreover, Dre also published the company’s audio line with Beats together, which is said to be by Dre Studio headphones. 

Surprisingly, it became a huge hit and got followed by high and successful products. Not only this, they got endorsed by numerous pop and hip-hop artists. 

In 2014, Beats Music, an online music streaming service, was also launched. 

Two partners funded The Andre Young Academy for Arts, technology, and the Business of Innovation and The Jimmy Iovine. 

The same year in May, the biggest company Apple showed interest to buy Beats at a worth of $3 billion. 

This was a huge deal that automatically increased the net worth of Dre’s, making it $800 million approx. 

This growth had made Dre one of the richest rap stars, too, as per Forbes. It’s also been said that Dre and Jimmy portrayed the role of an executive in Apple. 

After two years, Apple then revealed it was serving on a scripted TV series that was totally based on Dre’s life titled ‘Vital Signs’ and also working in the role of an executive producer. 

In 2015, Dre released his album titled Compton: A Soundtrack on Apple Music and iTunes.  

The artist revealed that the album was created as he got influenced by the time he had spent on the movie set. 

Other than that, Steven Lamar, a former hedge-fund manager, sued Jimmy and Dre. Why did this happen? 

Actually, the man who created and introduced the idea of celebrity-endorsed headphones for Beats Electronics suffered from being short-changed on royalties. 

Later, it was encountered that Steven only claimed royalties from the first headphone model and not others. 

However, the judge didn’t accept Steven’s claims in 2015. Nevertheless, it got revived in court the same year. 

So, in the year 2018, the Los Angeles Superior Court jury stated that Beats owed Lamar a total additional amount of $25.2 million in royalties.
