Dr. Dre‘s soon-to-be ex-wife, Nicole Young, is back in the headlines today.

With a nasty divorce battle underway – one which has seen Young demand $2 million a month from the hitmaker – she now stands accused of embezzlement and is under investigation.

More details below…

In a report filed with the LAPD by Dre’s business partner Larry Chatman, it’s claimed that hundreds of thousands of dollars from the music mogul’s business account, racking up to a total of $385,029. It’s reported that LAPD are aware that Chatman believes Nicole to be the culprit of the theft.

During the pair’s divorce hearing, Young was called out for the cash withdrawals by Dre himself. However, as her name is on their corporate account, she claimed her right to the money.

It’s to be noted that if Young is charged with the embezzlement, it is likely that she could serve time in jail if found guilty.

So far, Young’s legal team has remained adamant that Chatman’s claims are nothing but a smear campaign against her and they continue to stand firm in her innocence.

This is proving to be a bitter divorce between the pair. We can only hope this mess is settled sooner rather than later.
