Dr. Dre celebrated his headphones deal with Apple last night by declaring himself the richest man in hip hop.
Stylish headphone maker Beats Electronics (also known as 'Beats By Dre') finalized a deal to sell to Apple for a reported $3.2 billion.
Within hours of the news, the star was seen in a video alongside R&B singer Tyrese Gibson boasting about the deal.
'First billionaire in hip-hop, right here on the mother-****** west coast,' Dre says to the camera.
Dre’s stake in Beats currently stands at somewhere around 25%. After taxes he would likely be left with a net worth of around $800 million making him hip-hop’s richest man, toppling P. Diddy by $100 million.
