Explore in-depth coverage on Dr. Dre.

Dre hasn’t just rapped about violence or risky behavior over the years. Some of his lyrics have come true for him since he has had multiple run-ins with the law. He allegedly assaulted TV anchor Denise Barnes in 1991, attempting to shove her down a flight of stairs. A program she had done regarding Ice Cube’s departure from N.W.A. sparked the attack. Dre faced assault charges and a civil suit as a result of his acts, but the two parties reached an out-of-court settlement.
