In a new interview with James Corden, hip-hop icon Dr. Dre revealed that he suffered three strokes while hospitalized for a brain aneurysm in 2021.
In 2021, Dr. Dre was rushed to the ICU at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after his son and his son’s friend noticed that Dre wasn’t himself and just wanted to sleep.
Once he arrived at the hospital, doctors informed Dre that he had an aneurysm, and now Dre has revealed that he also had three strokes during his stay in the hospital.
When Dre asked doctors what caused his aneurysms and strokes, they couldn’t give an answer.
The legendary hip-hop producer shared, “No one could give me an answer. I had no idea I had high blood pressure or anything like that because I’m healthy. I lift weights, I run, I’m doing everything I can to stay healthy.

Dre also revealed that during his stay at Cedars-Sinai Hospital, his family was not allowed to visit him due to COVID-19 measures.
The Grammy-winning artist told Corden. “I’m at Cedars-Sinai hospital and they weren’t letting anyone in, meaning visitors or family or anything like that, because of COVID, but they let my family in. I found out later that they had called them so they could say goodbye to me one last time because they thought I was out of here.
