Dr. Dre has been ordered to shell out even more money to his estranged wife Nicole Young — but this time, it's for her fancy legal team that's fighting the rapper in their venomous divorce battle.
According to legal documents obtained by The Blast, the judge in the Forgot About Dre rapper's divorce case has tacked on an additional $1.55 million towards Young's legal fees.
Dre has already been ordered to shovel out $3 million towards his ex's eagle-eyed legal team. This new order sets him over $4 million — and that's just in attorney fees!

The judge seems to be all about making the Beats founder pay up and even outlined why the decision was made. It all comes down to the fact that good lawyers in Los Angeles come at a hefty price.
“The attorney’s training and experience in family law. Ms. Samantha F. Spector and Lisa Helfend Meyer, certified family law specialists, have significant years of experience in family law and have extensive practical experience in complex family law matters. Considering the level of the case’s complexity, and the issues involved, an attorney of their level and skill is reasonably necessary; and therefore, the various hourly rates of the primary and secondary attorneys participating in this litigation are reasonable and justifiable,” the order from the judge reads.
