September 22, (THEWILL) – American music mogul, Dr Dre, has been directed by a court to pay $1.5M to his estranged wife, Nicole Young.
The judge in charge of the case ruled that the rapper will pay another $1.55 million in legal fees and costs — after he had already coughed out over $2 million to his estranged wife.
The judge stated that Nicole’s legal fees in the case so far should total $3 million, including costs. According to PageSix, the rapper will now have to pay $1 million towards the balance of her fees and another $550,000 in costs involved with the case.
The payments are for fees and costs through July 2, 2021 and it is still not clear what the eventual tab will be moving forward in the case.
THEWILL recalls that the judge had previously ruled that Dre should pay Nicole $293,306 in monthly temporary spousal support and the rapper must also pay for household costs including security, insurance, gardening, taxes, repairs and maintenance, retroactive to September 1, 2020.
