Dr Dre has shared a statement, just hours after it emerged that he had been reportedly rushed to intensive care after suffering from a brain aneurysm.
The music mogul, 55, is currently being treated in Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, after falling ill on Monday and was subsequently rushed to the hospital which is favoured by Hollywood’s elite.
Sharing an update with his social media followers, Dre, whose real name is Andre Young, penned: “Thanks to my family, friends and fans for their interest and well wishes.
“I’m doing great and getting excellent care from my medical team. I will be out of the hospital and back home soon. Shout out to all the great medical professionals at Cedars. One Love!!”

Musician Missy Elliott added: “Prayers up for Dr Dre and his family for healing & strength over his mind & body.”

A brain aneurysm is a “bulge” in a blood vessel caused by a weakness in the vessel, the NHS website states.
The build-up of pressure in the blood vessel can cause it to “bulge outwards like a balloon”.
Symptoms include a sudden headache, a stiff neck, sickness and pain when looking at lights.
Dre’s hospitalisation comes in the midst of a divorce battle between Dre, whose real name is Andre Romelle Young and his wife, Nicole Young after the pair had been married for 24-years.
Dre and Nicole announced their intentions to divorce in June 2020, with Nicole citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the pair to file the paperwork.
