This gives a new meaning to beats by Dr Dre

[burner]

A job like a normal person would be a better path than begging

[Mooreeezy]

Sad man. Dre has a lot of demons he needs to exorcise. Also I can tell a lot of people don't understand the concept of trauma. Trauma doesn't go away, you just learn to manage it. PTSD has led to a lot of drug addicts and dead people. The fact she's still stable says a lot about her strength of character. If anyone can help her they should, especially dre

[GudMarty]

That was 28 years ago. I feel bad for her but what was she doing in between now and then?

[DifferenceTooStoned]

Oh shit here comes the surviving Dr dre. Bs

[mesutozil]

She can get a job and rent for the time being. God bless her though

[C_The_Guy]

2:18 they got brittle spirits man. If thats all it took for them to give up on their dreams... dare i say they never had dreams to begin with.

[FlipStar]

She CAN get a regular 9-to-5 job, I mean...

[ibedoindat]

Most homeless ask for some spare change.

Dee asks for $5, 000 and gets $30, 000. Where she looking to rent, Beverly Hills? FOH with this nonsense.

[ccharlie]

People homeless everywhere. What makes her special. Better start filling out applications but I guess sitting on your ass and starting a new GoFundMe account is the new wave I guess.

[Tragic.Kingdom]

Dr. Dre owes her a home . And that Gary dude who blacklisted her out of the entertainment industry
This is a lesson to all women . A man or men who disrespects any women like in their music, lyrics, visuals
Is never your friend .

[ndlt.reifukai]

I guess the strong and independent thing didn't work out. SYSBM 😆

[bwilliamsadhd]

Well I'm homeless and I'm not calling hiphop to help me and I have no where to go

[Arealproducer]

So dre's money ran out after 28 years....ok

[deidreb]

Everyone is saying that Dre should break her off but he already did that with Deez Nuts!!!

[TuriSanchez]

Why would anyone donate to a celebrity? Shit doesn’t make sense.

[MrWelchsTV]

didnt she get paid from dre & was paid to help on legal fees? how biggie say it dont be mad ups is hiring & if she cant get there fastfood love old folks & walmart

[nuhussl]

Yall do know she sued him for 22mil and then she settled out of court so she def got some millions now she claiming broke smh ....nah I'm not hearing it

[SicSemperBeats]

that sucks, but why would i give a formerly rich person a handout....Id rather give single mothers and people on the streets my money. Its not our fault that she didnt cash those checks, who doesnt take free money???

[miguelsantiago]

I'm sure she never helped anyone when she had money.
