Dr. Dre’s big mouth cost him $200 million. Remember Dre’s Beats headphone deal with Apple music back in 2014? The deal was reported to be $3.2B but this VIDEO showing Dre and Tyrese braggin’ about the deal apparently broke a confidentiality agreement. The breach ultimately brought the deal down from 3.2 to 3 billion which cost Dre the crown of being the first hip-hop artist to become a billionaire. In case you don’t remember the video, we’re posting it below.
