“The last time I saw him was when I was 20 at my mom’s house.“

37-year-old LaTanya Young is the eldest daughter of Dr.Dre and his ex-wife, Lisa Johnson. The former couple had three children together: LaTanya, LaToya,36, and Ashley, 35. The couple split when LaTanya was only five years old, and from that young age, the 37-year-old mother of four was forced to communicate with her father through his staff.

LaTanya, who has not seen her father in 17 years, desperately desires a close relationship with her father. She maintains that her goal for getting close to the legendary producer is not to get close to his riches. It is quite shocking that while Dr.Dre boasts of a net worth of around $800 million, his eldest daughter has struggled financially.
“Money is not what I want; I feel better doing it onmy own,” she shares.
The mother of four is currently training to be a nurse and takes odd jobs to keep afloat with her bills, including working as a FedEx driver. LaTanya even went on to admit that she doesn’t even have her father’s phone number and that Dre has never met his grandchildren Tatiyana, 16, Rhiana, 13, D’Andre, eight, and Jason III, three.
“He did offer to help me with tuition, but he never speaks to me. He never set me up to be able to not need him. He never paid for college; he never did anything to help me and my sisters get along.“
LaTanya blamed the strained relationship on Nicole Young and hoped that their split and divorce would bring them closer.‘ I got the impression she didn’t care to know any of us.’

LaTanya then goes on to share that she once went to see her father with her sisters when she was 16 and was turned away by his then-wife Nicole. Nicole even threatened to call the police on them.
A clip has been circulating the Internet like wildfire, and in the clip, Kanye West can be seen yelling at Chance The Rapper.
The nearly one-minute long video is reportedly leaked footage from an upcoming documentary on Kanye West’s Donda album. The documentary is supposed to give a behind-the-scenes look at Kanye’s soon-to-drop and delayed project.
The clip of the fashion designer, producer, and rapper screaming at his frequent collaborator began doing social media rounds on Saturday, January 23.
The video, which is from last summer, was recorded in Kanye’s Wyoming compound during a studio session. The clip was apparently leaked out by Dame Dash, who is the narrator of the clip.
“My thing was, like, get rid of the people who are triggering him, just get ’em out of here and let’s just have fun being creative. So, you know, Kanye is finishing his album and there’s people around. Chance, honestly, because of what he was reading, he came through just to check Kanye. You know, again, Kanye deals with his issues at all times. They got into it, but they worked it out. At the end of the day, Chance was there just to be a friend,” said Dame in the clip.
Chance The Rapper had flown out to Wyoming to see his friend Kanye and to check on him, given all he was going through. At that period in time, there had been many tweets and a lot of talk regarding Kanye’s mental health after he had a mental breakdown at his own rally in South Carolina.
Kanye was at the time working on his album. Kanye and Chance can be seen arguing in the clip before Kanye yelled at Chance, “Sit your ass down and listen to the album or leave.”

After, Chance can be seen telling Kanye a joke, and Kanye bursts into laughter. Kanye didn’t take the manic episode to heart since he supported Kanye’s run for presidency.
Many fans and contenders, including boxer Jake Paul, watched the Saturday night match keenly.
After his loss, the Irish fighter Conor McGregor became the laughing stock. Memes about his loss surfaced on the internet, and now, Jake Paul made a video aimed at making fun of McGregor, and he also mocked the renowned boxer.
Before becoming a boxer, Jake, who was a Youtuber, had his last fight late last year in November. He was fighting against Nate Robinson, a match he won.
Before Saturday’s match, Conor McGregor had not fought for a whole year, which could be one major factor as to why he lost.
Jake Paul hinted last Wednesday that he will be boxing in April and although he has not said against who, it is assumed it will be Conor McGregor.
Would you want to see the two boxers, Jake Paul and Conor McGregor, take each other down? Let us know in the comments section below.
Although the world was not aware of their romantic relationship, Solange’s son and Beyonce’s nephew Julez Smith and famous young actress Skai Jackson dated.
According to Julez however, Skai cheated on him, and that is why they called it quits. Solange’s son took to his friend group to shame the actress and even posted her sex clip as a form of revenge.
Replying to a fan who said, “if you ever see this I wanted to ask if you single because I fell in love with you, this was hard to say,” the 18-year-old actress responded saying, “LMAOO. Yes I’m single for rn.”
NLE Choppa then slid into the comments section and replied with ‘Umhm’ before going like and claiming his love for Skai.
On Sunday, Trey Songz attended KC Chiefs’ game before he was handcuffed. What exactly went down? We are here to answer that.
According to a witness, some fans taunted Trey Songz, who enjoyed the game and the R&B singer tried to urge them to stop.
An officer then joined the altercation and attacked Trey Songz. In a video that resurfaced, the latter tried to defend himself as fans asked the officer to get arrested.
A few minutes later, more cops arrived at the scene and cuffed the Slow Motion singer before escorting him to the station where he is currently in custody.
Trey Songz is being charged with resisting arrest, trespassing, and assault. Hopefully, the singer will be released tomorrow after his twenty four hour hold expires.
On Instagram, the Animal singer posted a video of him getting escorted to the station, and in the caption, he seems confident that he will be released.
On the Instagram post, he penned, “Quic flight bae I be right bac…dogs on the way home and chef pulling up at 8. Pull that steak out the freezer boo boo.”
Most fans believe that the singer was acting out of self-defense and that he is not at fault.
🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️ don’t think you not about to be fined and locked up 😒 video shows you had the officer In A head lock that could have turned deadly.
Bruhhh, Songz did not just get profiled against, attacked for no reason, hit him back (which, in this case, falls into self defense), and is still in custody? Lmao. When are we going to actually start firing for discrimination? We do it everywhere else but the force, funny.
Supposed To Perform WAP At The Inauguration; Cardi B Says
This past Wednesday was a historic moment for the United States. The inauguration ceremony that saw the forty-sixth President Joe Biden and Vice president Kamala Harris taking office went down.
There were performances from many artists including Jennifer Lopez, Garth Brooks and Lady Gaga. Their outfits made bold statements, and so did their stunning performances.
Cardi B was sad about not being able to perform during the inauguration. The Bodak Yellow rapper was supposed to perform, wait for it, WAP during the inauguration ceremony.
Ugh I was supposed to perform wap at the inauguration today but I had a dentist appointment 😓😓….maybe next time .
On Twitter Cardi wrote, ” Ugh I was supposed to perform wap at the inauguration today but I had a dentist appointment 😓😓….maybe next time.”
It could have been a way of joking about how good her song is. Just imagine if she had performed the adult-rated music for such an important political event. That would have been a show to remember.
Plus, passing a memorable moment for a dentist appointment?
Cardi B was rooting hard for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s win. Before the elections, she posted a series of videos giving opinions about how she agreed with the duo’s manifesto.
Today we ask you, would you have wanted to see Cardi B perform WAP at the inauguration ceremony of President Joe Biden and VP Kamala Harris?
