No worries though ILOSM fam,’ we found him. Michel’le’s and Dr. Dre’s son is a product of their years-long relationship, and after watching Michel’le’s biopic – which aired on in 2016 – we all witnessed just how rough their relationship was (allegedly). But they created a son that they couldn’t be more proud of. By the way, he ain’t the cuddly lil’ kid you see in the above photo anymore. Check him out below…

Dr. Dre’s & Michel’le’s Son, Marcel Young

Meet Dr. Dre’s and Michel’le’s 30-year-old son,  Marcel Young. He looks like a blend of both of his parents, doesn’t he? Like we said though, Marcel is pretty elusive and doesn’t step into the public’s eye often, so this is a rarity for him.

After watching the “Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge, and Michel’le” biopic on the Lifetime channel, we learned that Marcel’s parents had their fair share of Ike & Tina Turner moments. Not sure how Marcel feels about the movie, but Michel’le revealed a few details about what Marcel’s relationship with his Pops is like nowadays.

Despite all of the drama between his parents (Dre reportedly threatened to sue Michel’le for making him look like a woman beater in her biopic), Marcel apparently has a good relationship with his dad to this day…just check out on of their more recent photos up top.

What Michel’le Said About Dr. Dre As A Parent

Despite all of the drama between his parents (Dre is threatened to sue Michel’le for making him look like a woman beater in her biopic), Marcel apparently has a good relationship with his dad to this day…just check out the recent photo up top. Although we’ve all heard Michel’le’s claims, that Dre allegedly used her face and ribs like a piñata, but in past interviews, the “Something In My Heart” singer also revealed that Dr. Dre is a very good father to his son:

“I will say that my children’s fathers (I have a …son with Dr. Dre and a 10 year old daughter with Suge Knight) do love and take care of their children. They are great fathers and they are there for them. It’s not always monetary. It’s about being there.” -Michel’le, TV One

By the way, it’s hard to think about Dr. Dre without thinking of the musical magic he’s created throughout the years, dude is a BEAST with his tracks. However, we don’t really know if Marcel has the musical genes of his parents, but as y’all can see,  he certainly inherited their physical ones.

Speaking of Marcel’s parents, in recent years, Michel’le has exposed some very troubling info’ regarding her years-long relationship with his billionaire music-mogul pops. In fact, she’s been very candid about everything she’s gone through with BOTH of the famous fathers of her children -Dr. Dre, as well as his former business partner, Suge Knight (owner of Death Row Records). Yep, you just read that right. Check out Michel’le and Suge’s beautiful daughter HERE.

Read on to see what Michel’le revealed to Vlad TV about her and Dre’s relationship, including the time he reportedly almost killed her by gunfire…Laaaawd…

Michel’le On Learning She Was Pregnant With Dr.Dre’s Son

Michel’le: “I went on the Hammer Tour and found out I was 6 weeks pregnant and we had two more months to go. I had to come home and drop that baby and finish out some more shows and then I became a stay-at-home mommy. Which made my career go *makes car screeching noise* I don’t advise it if you want to be in this business. The baby can take a year and a half off. You want to bond with your child.”

Michel’le Says Relationship With Dr. Dre Changed After Their Son Was Born

Michelle: “It became more strained because he was able to get up and just go where I couldn’t do that anymore. I couldn’t follow him anymore. And I think it became more disrespectful because then, if you’re not there, somebody else will be. I don’t want to say he wasn’t ready to have a baby but he had already just had a baby. When I met him he had two women pregnant… When I met him one was in the belly and then one had just dropped. So there were two babies born within a year or so apart. And we had just started dating…So three already, one had just came out and one was in the belly. That was five. Mine made number six. While I was with him he had two more. I know! I know! I don’t know I just guess I cared for him. I know it doesn’t make sense now.”

Michel’le Claimed Dr. Dre Shot At Her & More

Vlad: How bad the abuse get?

Michel’le: I had five black eyes. Oh I was getting dragged on the floor, shot at…

Vlad: What led to the shooting?

Michel’le: We partied…and I guess I don’t know what I always did. And I always say it couldn’t have just been me. So one night we was arguing, he went and got the gun and I just made it through the bathroom door and he shot at me and missed me by this (holds up measurement fingers) much. He shot at me. And you know what I did? I left the bullet in the hole. It was in the door and then it went through the side of the wall in the bathroom and I left it there for a while, just so he could see it. But he never tried to shoot me anymore. Thank God. But the beatings were…it was a lot.

Michel’le: You know what my grandmother said, eventually: ‘When a man beats you, he doesn’t like you. He has women issues and it starts probably with their mothers.’ And I said ‘You’re probably right.’

The upsides to this are that both Michel’le and Dr. Dre seemed to have moved on from their years-long tension with each other; and their son is likely livin’ his best life these days.

The post Rarely Seen Son Of Michel’le & Dr. Dre Is Now A 30-Year-Old Man, Making His Parents Proud appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

In Michel’e’s  biopic , “Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Me,” she revealed some very dark, crazy times in her career and with her two exes, Dr. Dre and Suge Knight. As her ex-husband, Suge, sits in jail anxiously awaiting his trial date for a fatal hit and run incident in 2015, there is a very beautiful creation in the midst of their not-so-beautiful controversies- their adorable 15 year old daughter…

THAT WAS THEN

Suge and Michel’le’s daughter, Balei, looks nothing like her baby photo above anymore, in November 2020 she turned 18 years old, and she’s still just as cute as she wanna be! Typically, Balei has been shielded from the media by her parents, but now she is being allowed to somewhat come from out of the shadows and into the public’s eye. Balei is a perfect blend of both of parents. Check out their mini-me now…

MEET THEIR DAUGHTER, BALEI

This is Suge’s and Michel’le’s lil’ 18-year-old beauty now and to say she has the blood of a highly impactful legacy pumping through her veins, is an understatement. When your pops is Suge Knight and your mom is Michel’le, you’re automatically a princess of hip hop royalty.

Michel’le has a great relationship with her daughter, although her relationship with Suge went sour when they were “fake married,” as Michel’le refers to it (because she married him when he was in jail and later found out the marriage certificate wasn’t worth the paper it was written on). Michel’le also admitted, in a 2015 interview, that although Suge was allegedly a horrible husband, he is a ‘great father’ to all of his children.

Michel’le also told DailyMail that although she doesn’t have a great relationship with Suge, she will make sure her daughter maintains her relationship with her dad and even makes plans for her to visit him in jail.

Hopefully the circumstances surrounding her parents’ past relationship and her father’s current imprisonment doesn’t have too much of a negative affect on Balei.

The post Michel’le And Suge Knight’s Rarely Seen Daughter Turned 18…She’s Gorgeous appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

When it comes to Dr. Dre’s soon-to-be-ex-wife (pictured above), most fans rarely know her name and simply think of her as, well…’Dr. Dre’s wife.’ She’s been married to the nearly billionaire music legend for 24 years and is often seen, but very rarely heard…at least publicly that is.

Now, there are several little known facts we’ve discovered about the Mrs.. For starters, we’ll began calling her by her name, Nicole Young, who also happens to be a lawyer (though she reportedly hasn’t been a practicing lawyer for years, given that she’s married to one of the wealthiest hip hop moguls ever). Nicole’s also known by her maiden name, Nicole Kendra Plotzker.

Speaking of names, there’s one other name she’s sometimes still referred to as- the surname of her previous wealthy husband, who’s a major legend in his own right. So, WHO was Dr. Dre’s wife married to, you ask? Check him out below…

Dr. Dre’s Wife was Married To A Baller…Literally…

Nicole Young is also known as Nicole Threatt (50), which was her prior married name when NBA legend, Sedale Threatt(58) was her husband. Nicole, Dr. Dre, and Sedale seemingly had a pretty interesting past prior to Mr. and Mrs. Young getting married, but I’ll get to that in a second…

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bka3EpfF6qm/

In case y’all are not familiar with Sedale Threatt, here’s a quick breakdown of his legendary status:

– He played in the NBA for 20 years, from 1983 to 1997. He also later played in several other basketball leagues overseas.

-Threatt played starting point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers for 5 years, starting in 1991, where he was originally signed as Magic Johnson’s backup, until Magic retired due to his 1991 HIV diagnosis.

-Sedale became known as the ‘last sixth round draft pick to play in the NBA,’ because after he was drafted, the league shortened the NBA draft to two rounds.

– He initially was signed to Philadelphia 76’ers in the 1983 NBA draft, where he remained for 4 years. He then signed with the Chicago Bulls in 1987, then to Seattle Supersonics in 1988, where he played for 4 years as well.

The Allegations About The Three Of Them:

Nicole Left Sedale Threatt For Dr. Dre?
According to several sources, Nicole reportedly left Sedale Threatt for Dr. Dre, after three years of marriage. Word on the Old school curb is that Sedale was out here runnin’ wild in these streets, with groupies galore.

When Nicole was married to Sedale, she allegedly got sick n’ tired of his cheating ways and reportedly began a relationship with Dr. Dre.

During a The Breakfast Club” interview, Dr. Dre’s longtime ex/mother of his child -former Death Row singer, Michel’le- reportedly alluded that Dre allegedly left her for Nicole.

Sedale Has How Many Kids???

Sedale Threatt is said to have approximately 14 kids, but that has yet to be proven. Additionally in 2000, a judge sentenced Sedale to 6 months in prison for failing to pay child support. That same judge also ordered him to take care of five additional outstanding child-support orders, in other jurisdictions, for children he reportedly procreated in those areas as well. He’s since remarried and lives in Melbourne, Australia.

Dr. Dre’s Alleged Love Letter?

There is also an alleged 1995 handwritten love letter written to Nicole, by Dr. Dre, in which he’s trying to persuade her to finally leave Sedale Threatt.

IF that letter is authentic, then Dr. Dre’s alleged persuasion worked…but unfortunately after 24 years of marriage, they’re headed to divorce court. Not sure how much bread Nicole is gonna get from the divorce though. So far, their pre-nup is said to be game tight—in Dr. Dre’s favor. Only time will tell. Best wishes to them all.

The post Before Dr. Dre, His Wife Married A Wealthy Baller & His Past Is Quite Colorful appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

This is a really interesting tidbit of information that we wanted to share with y’all, after the many conversations that surrounded Michel’le’s prior biopic, “Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge, and Michel’le.” The man in the photo above, is someone who reportedly knows Michel’le very well. So much so, that he surprisingly claimed that he almost gunned down Dr. Dre over her back in the day. But his alleged relationship with Michel’le isn’t what you might be thinking.

His name is Christopher Toussaint and in 2013, he revealed to Diary Of A Hollywood Street King, why he apparently came this close to shooting Dre over Michel’le Toussaint. You see where this is going yet? See what Christopher a.k.a. rapper, Soliarii, had to say about this below…

MICHEL’LE’S BROTHER ALMOST SHOT HER THEN BOYFRIEND, DR. DRE?

Christopher says that he is Michel’le’s brother and that back when Michel’le was in her past alleged abusive relationship with Dre, he was about to shoot him for putting his hands on Michel’le. Here is what HSK reported in 2013:

The ‘Late Bloomer’ indie lyricist — whose real name is Christopher Toussant — says he’s tired of hearing people “talk about” Michel’le’s “corrective surgery” … the reported result of the R&B Diva’s physical abuse by baby daddy Dr Dre. That’s why Soliarii — who explains he was “a teen when all that was going on … and tried to protect his sister” — recently recalled the “day she [Michel’le] came home, bruised and clearly beaten by Dre.”

Here’s what Soliarii had to say about it: “Our mother and grandmother kept me from going into the living room and gunning Dre down. To this day, Dre still doesn’t know what our mother and grandmother did for him.”

Now here’s where we gotta play devil’s advocate and raise an eyebrow (or two):

– One thing we couldn’t help but notice is that Michel’le spells her last name as ‘Toussaint,’ but Christopher spells his as ‘Toussant.’ We also understand that artists change their names or the spelling of their names all the time though, so maybe that could be the reason for the elusive ‘I.’

– The other eyebrow raiser is that we have searched high and low for any physical evidence that proves Michel’le and Christopher are siblings and have come up short. Now that still doesn’t mean that they are not siblings, but we just thought it was worth pointing out, so that y’all can have all of the info and then decide who you believe in this situation.

***UPDATE: We were recently sent the throwback photo (below) of Soliarii a.k.a. Christopher Toussant standing in front of his sister, Michel’le when he was a kid. We were also informed that Michel’le’s birth name was Michelle Toussant (not her current name,Michel’le Toussaint, with an “I” and apostrophe’). So it looks like Christopher is telling the truth about being her brother after all ILOSM fam.’

If this is true, we are SO happy Christopher was stopped from executing his plan that day.

The post This Man Says He Almost Shot Dr. Dre Over Michel’le, But It’s Not Why You May Think appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

Dr. Dre is stepping way outside of his character that we- the public- know him to have. In he and Jimmy Iovine’s new HBO documentary, The Defiant Ones, the hella private NWA OG got ALL the way real about his violence toward one of the women in his past.

He spoke about that infamous time when he reportedly beat female rapper/ex MTV TV host, Dee Barnes, in a nightclub in 1991. The drama reportedly went down after Dee asked Dre a question that he didn’t like during an interview. He ultimately ended up allegedly choking and punching her. Dee successfully sued Dre for the incident, but later revealed that she didn’t get as much money as one might have assumed.

Dre’s Televised Apology To Dee Barnes

Dre never spoke about the incident much…except for that one time when he released a statement just before the 2015 release of the NWA biopic, Straight Outta Compton. Many believed he was doing it as a PR stunt. However, fast forward to today and the brotha had a seemingly genuine ‘come clean’ moment…at least as it pertains to Dee Barnes. Here’s part of what he said about beating her up back in the day:

“I was out of my fu*king mind at the time. I fu*ked up. It’s a major blemish on who I am as a man.”

Should Michel’le Have Been Included?

By now it’s no secret that Dre’s ex-girlfriend/mother of his son, Michel’le, has claimed that Dr. Dre used to beat the hell outta her throughout their years-long relationship. Although Dre didn’t fully deny Michel’le’s claims, she revealed that she was “offended” Dre had reportedly tried to legally stop her from telling her truth in her recent biopic, Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel’le.

At that time, Dre reportedly threatened to sue her if the biopic made him look like a woman beater. Michel’le did not budge from her truths and the alleged beatings, she says she endured from Dre, remained a part of the movie. As far as I know, there was also no lawsuit filed against her by Dre afterward.

That brings me back to Dre’s recent ‘come clean’ confessional. He manned up and publicly apologized for the Dee Barnes beating (which is undeniable since it’s public record). But if Michel’le’s claims about Dr. Dre are true, do y’all think he should have at least mentioned her name in his televised ‘this is my confession’ moment?

Listen, Dr. Dre is a legend and a phenomenal music producer. Michel’le was part of a legendary movement in hip hop and R&B as well. But just like we always say here at ILOSM: Celebrities have accomplished a high level of greatness, but that does not make them perfect people, it simply makes them perfectly flawed human beings, just like the rest of us. With that said, I won’t be holding my breathe for that public ‘sorry’ to Michel’le, just saying. Best wishes to both of them though.

Above and Beyond:

According to Deadline, Surviving Compton averaged a total of 2.3 million total viewers Saturday night alone. But, things didn’t stop there. Beyond The Headlines: Michel’le also averaged a total of 1.9 million viewers. It has been reported that the film and following documentary boasted a whopping 9.4 million viewers for the entire weekend. Can you believe it? Well, even if you can’t, they say numbers just don’t lie.

Fans’ Reaction:

It looks like the good is definitely outweighing the bad. Shortly after the movie aired, fans took to social media with their reactions to the film. Of course, there were critical responses, but surprisingly, many of those responses were aimed toward Dr. Dre. In fact, many fans have made statements about boycotting Beats By Dre as a response to their disapproval of domestic abuse.

However, fans aren’t the only people responding to Surviving Compton.

Open Doors:

Yesterday, Michel’le took to Instagram with a post about the call she received from Oprah.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BLrE-SQgoZI/

According to VLAD TV, Oprah has approached Michel’le about doing an exclusive interview. It has been reported that Oprah wants to have a more indepth discussion with the singer about the abuse she suffered during her relationships with Dre and Suge Knight.

The post WHOA! Michel’le Ratings Were UNBELIEVABLE, Guess How Many People Tuned In appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

The Book:

According to The Jasmine Brand, Michel’le replied to a tweet from a fan who suggested that she write a book based on the controversial film since the last scene insinuated there was more to the story. Michel’le made it clear that she’s far from done with Surviving Compton. New reports suggest the upcoming book will be a tell-all with more graphic details about Dre’s violent behavior.

So far, no further details about the book have been released. Although Dr. Dre and Suge Knight have been silent about Michel’le tweet about a possible book in the near future, that doesn’t mean they won’t clap back. For those who missed it, Dr. Dre tried to put a stop to the release of the film, but Sony executives refused to allow the famed rapper/producer to silence Michel’le any longer. The film’s executive producer, Leslie Greif, released a statement about Dre’s cease and desist letter demanding Sony ax the film.

“I heard Sony said they vetted the film and stand by it, and will not allow Michel’le’s voice to be silenced. They’re supporting this picture … These are not new stories. Dr. Dre and Suge Knight have not seen the film to my knowledge, and are presupposing what they did and how it might make them appear on screen.”

The release of the film will probably lead to a legal battle in the near future, but it looks like Michel’le is no longer afraid to fight back. The autobiography’s tentative release date is scheduled for January 2017.
