Dr Dre has claimed he had a series of three strokes after his 2021 brain aneurysm.
The rap mogul was hospitalised in 2021 for a brain aneurysm – now, looking back on that time, he has revealed he went on to suffer a series of strokes while still in hospital.
“It’s just something that you can’t control that just happens and during those two weeks, I had three strokes,” Dre said in a new episode of SiriusXM’s This Life of Mine with James Corden podcast.
He went on to add that doctors told him he couldn't have done anything to prevent the aneurysm.
“Nobody could give me an answer," Dr said. "I had no idea that I had high blood pressure or anything like that because I’m on my health s**t. I’m lifting weights, I’m running, I’m doing everything I can to keep myself healthy.”
And he added a warning to other men to have their blood-pressure levels checked.
“High blood pressure in Black men, that’s just what it is. They call it the silent killer,” Dre said. “You just have no idea, so you know, you have to keep your s**t checked.”
If nothing else, Dre said, the event gave him a renewed focus on living, saying health scares, “definitely makes you appreciate being alive that’s for sure.”
