Dr. Dre

Dr. Dre's brain aneurysm was a huge shock for the rap mogul, confessing there were no warning signs his health was in danger.

The Forgot About Dre hitmaker suffered the medical emergency at the beginning of the year, while battling his estranged wife in their ongoing bitter divorce, and he is now opening up about the scare, revealing he "never saw that coming."

"It's a really weird thing," he tells the Los Angeles Times. "I've never had high blood pressure and I've always been a person that has always taken care of my health.

"But there's something that happens for some reason with black men and high blood pressure, and I never saw that coming."

He's hoping the press generated by his health scare prompts other black men to take better care of themselves.

"I think every black man should just check that out and make sure things are OK with the blood pressure," he adds.
