Dr Dre celebrates as he ‘finalises’ divorce with Nicole Young

 

Ex partners, Nicole and Dr Dre. 

Andre Romelle Young aka Dr Dre appears to have finalised his divorce from wife Nicole Young.

If the news is confirmed, the divorce will have come after 25 years of marriage, and after many years to finalise due to a dispute over the couple’s prenup agreement.

“Hey Well My Brother @drdre Just Told Me It's Final!  Congrats (champagne bottle emoji) Still Dre (goat and flexed bicep emojis),” his friend, the Chameleon Entertainment CEO Breyon Prescott captioned the photo in which the 56-year-old rapper is seen smiling before a ‘Divorce AF’ silver balloon bouquet.


Even though Dr Dre has not yet commented about the divorce, the photo and the set-up suggest that Dr Dre was having a ‘divorce party’.

Nicole is 51 and together with Dr Dre, they share a 20-year-old daughter Truly and 24-year-old son Truice.

Nicole accused Dr Dre of abuse claiming he had held a gun over her head twice. She also claimed in her court filing that the celebrated star threw her out of their home citing ‘irreconcilable difference’ as the main reason for the divorce.

The music mogul however denied the allegations.

North Korea bans leather coats after Kim starts new fashion trend

 


North Korea has banned leather coats that copy the style of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, multiple sources told Radio Free Asia. 

Kim popularized the leather jacket in 2019. It was initially worn by rich people who could afford the pricey item. 

However, fake leather was soon imported so the jacket could be worn by those with less money, which frustrated the North Korean leader. 

When these leather coats became popular, the law enforcement authorities went after the companies that made the coats that look too much like the Highest Dignity’s,” one source said.

A military parade in North Korea in January showed all the high-ranking officials wearing leather jackets, sparking even more interest in the material. However, literal fashion police have worked to confiscate the fake leather jackets in markets and from people wearing them.

Citizens have complained, saying it is not fair to take a jacket they paid for.

"The police respond to the complaints, saying that wearing clothes designed to look like the Highest Dignity’s is an 'impure trend to challenge the authority of the Highest Dignity,'" another source said. "They instructed the public not to wear leather coats, because it is part of the party’s directive to decide who can wear them."

The leather jacket has also been worn by Kim Yo Jong, Kim Jong Un’s sister, who is speculated to be his chosen successor, according to the outlet.

“So now the leather coat has become a symbol for powerful women too,” the first source said.
