Dr. Dre’s estranged wife, Nicole Young, is seeking nearly $2 million per month in spousal support as their divorce gets messy.
According to Page Six, Nicole is also requesting for $5m in legal fees in the epic divorce battle with the hip hop mogul.
Nicole’s attorney is asking Dre to pay $1,936,399 in monthly support, noting that the mother of two is having trouble paying her bills since her marriage of 24 years broke up, and Dre controls all their assets.
Court documents claim that Dr. Dre kicked Nicole out of their 43,000-square-foot Brentwood mansion “in the middle of the night” back in April. Dre was “in a drunken rage.” He reportedly sent Nicole to their Malibu beach home with access to all the cars, personal chefs and other luxuries.
However, she claimed that he later threatened to sell it in a text. “Do not spend one more cent… You can’t be mean and disrespectful and spend my hard-earned money. F**k that!” The text allegedly read.

She claims that Dre “forced” her to sign a pre-nup on their wedding day “under extreme duress.” She also says that Dre has blocked her AmEx charges. She goes on claiming in the papers that because she “played an important role” in Dre’s career, she has the right to enjoy the same lifestyle she did before the split.
Young also alleges that Dre agreed to attend counseling, and stop drinking, to patch up their relationship, but did not follow up on the promises.
