Dr Dre’s daughter LaTanya has revealed she is homeless and has not received any support from her famous father for 18 months.
LaTanya Young, 38, works as delivery driver and an assembler at a warehouse. She can’t afford to get a flat in California and is currently living in an SUV while her children stay with friends.
The mum-of-four claimed she has gone to the 56-year-old rapper for help but has not received any. She added that the pair have not spoken for 18 years and she doesn’t have his phone number.
LaTanya, who the hip hop mogul shares with ex Lisa Johnson, is worried she will lose her car as her debts rack up.
She told Dailymail.com: ‘I’m trying to keep my head above water. I’ve been in debt for a while.
‘The car is a pretty penny. It’s an SUV that costs $2,300 for three weeks and I only paid for one week. Sooner or later they are going to take the car.’

LaTanya is ‘trying to communicate’ with Dr Dre, real name Andre Romelle Young to see if he wants to see his grandchildren, who are ‘in shock that he doesn’t want anything to do with them.’
When her father was hospitalised with a brain aneurysm earlier this year, LaTanya said she struggled to find out how his condition was, saying it was ‘like pulling teeth’.
The Forgot About Dre rapper has helped her financially in the past by paying her rent and giving her an allowance, however this apparently ended in January 2020.
In June he officially divorced his wife Nicole Young, who he had been married to since 1996. The pair are reportedly locked in a bitter court battle over the validity of a prenup, however.
In January, Dre agreed to pay Nicole $2 million in spousal support, which was to cover the period up until April 14. Dre was then ordered by a court to pay $500,000 (£353,090) to Nicole’s divorce lawyers.

Addressing their legal clash, LaTanya confessed she felt that her mum should have received some financial support, but she ‘commended’ Nicole adding: ‘She did what she had to do.’
