Roommates, last year was a tough one for Hip Hop legend Dr.Drebetween his public divorce from his estranged wife Nicole Young and being in hospitalized after suffering a brain aneurysmhe has gone through a lot. Now, his estranged father, 73-year-old Theodore Young, is speaking out about their relationship.
In an interview with Page Six, Theodore said, I havent seen Andre since his grandfather died, and I cant even remember when that was. We have no relationship. My other sons love me. They tell me they love me. But coming from where I come from, most young men like Andre who have a big success dont give a damn about their dad.
Theodore said that after he split with Dres mother, Verna, Dres grandmother took primary care in raising him. He told Page Six, His grandmother raised him. His mother and grandmother sprinkled a whole lot of salt on me.
This isn’t the first family member of Dre’s who has spoken out about not having a relationship with him. If you recall, we reported in December that Dres oldest daughter, 37-year-old LaTanya Young, opened up about the seriously estranged relationship she has with her father, whom she says she hasnt seen in almost 20 years. LaTanya says that despite their practically non-existent relationship, she still hopes that they can come together and repair things one day.
She also insisted that she doesnt want anything from him except a father-daughter relationship, saying, Money is not what I want. I feel better doing it on my own. LaTanya further stated that she feels displaced by not seeing Dr. Dre. I really just want to have closure. I just want to be able to spend time with my father.
As of right now, Dr. Dre hasnt spoken on the relationship with his daughter or father.
