Dr Dre’s estranged wife Nicole Young has claimed she suffered years of abuse from the music mogul. Nicole Young, 51, details several instances of alleged abuse from the musician, 55, claiming he "held a gun to my head" twice during their 24-year marriage. Nicole's claims come after Dr Dre declared last week that "at no time did I abuse Nicole or threaten her physical safety," during their marriage. Dr Dre - whose real name is Andre Romelle Young - is currently in hospital as he recovers from his life-threatening brain aneurism.

And now, more than six months after filing for divorce back in June, Nicole says Dr Dre "held a gun to my head" twice - once in 2000 and then again in 2001, according to court documents obtained by Daily Mail. She also claims he "punched me in the head/face" in 1999 and 2000, and went on to "kick down a door" while she hid "from his rage" in 2016.
