Dr Dre detailed his severe health scare in 2021, revealing he suffered three strokes following a brain aneurysm during an interview on SiriusXM’s The Life of Mine With James Corden. The music legend highlighted the incident’s impact on his appreciation for life.
In the discussion, Dre recounted his unexpected hospitalization after experiencing intense pain behind his ear, initially dismissed as minor. Urged by his son’s friend, he sought medical attention, leading to urgent care and subsequent ICU admission for two weeks at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles. The doctors acknowledged his fortunate survival.
Despite his active and healthy lifestyle, Dre was unaware of his high blood pressure, a condition often unnoticed, particularly in Black men. This experience has deepened his gratitude for life and health awareness.
The complete SiriusXM interview with Dr. Dre, where he also praises Eminem as unparalleled in rap, is available.
