Dr. Dre could be set to become hip-hop's first billionaire.
The rapper and producer is in talks to sell his Beats Electronics headphones business to technology giant Apple for $3.2billion, making him the richest hip hop star in the world, according to the Financial Times.
In a recent article in Forbes magazine, Dre ranked as the second wealthiest rapper, behind Puff Daddy, whose estimated worth is $700 million, but the new deal would put him ahead of the star, who has earned money from his Revolt TV business as well as music.
Dre prematurely described himself as "the first billionaire in hip hop" in a video posted on Instagram, which has since been taken down, as the Forbes.com claims he would only cash in on his 20 to 25 per cent stake in the business, meaning his net worth increase from $550 million to about $800 million.

Ellen Page has called the sexual abuse allegations against X-Men director Bryan Singer "super disturbing."
The actress, who stars in X-Men: Days of Future Past, has spoken out about Bryan's ordeal, after two men accused him of abuse when they were teenagers.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the star called the claims "super, super disturbing" and said, "I guess the truth will come out in the way that it does, but it's hard to hear about someone being in that situation, someone you like working with." But whatever happens in the case, she said, "I do think that there's a systematic issue of people in places of power manipulating and abusing young people."
Bryan, 48, was hit with a second sexual abuse lawsuit this month after a man accused him of allegedly abusing him at a London hotel with Broadway producer Gary Goddard when he was just 17.

Selena Gomez reportedly "doesn't care" whom Justin Bieber dates.
The 21-year-old pop star and her on/off boyfriend have called time on their relationship once again and the "Baby" hitmaker has posted a number of photographs on Instagram with model Yovanna Ventura, who is rumored to be his new girlfriend, but Selena isn't bothered about their romance.
"Selena doesn't care who Justin is dating. All she knows is she's done with him and his immature behavior. He's all talk and no action," a source said.
Eyewitnesses apparently saw Justin and Yovanna together looking cozy in Vegas at the recent Floyd Mayweather fight and later on Venice Beach and Justin has previously been linked to Selena's former friend Kylie Jenner. "If he wants to date [a] teenager like Kylie or a wannabe model, then let him. She's done and moving on from the broken promises and drama," the source added.

Chris Brown has been sentenced to 131 days in prison.
The 24-year-old singer has been forced to spend just over four months behind bars after he admitted in a Los Angeles court yesterday that he violated his probation by getting into a fight in Washington D.C. last year.
The judge, James R. Brandlin, originally sentenced the "Loyal" hitmaker to 365 days in custody, but gave him credit for the 234 days he has already spent in rehab and jail. However, it is unclear how long he will actually serve as he could get out earlier due to over-crowding in the prison.
The judge also ordered Chris, who has recently been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, to attend therapy sessions with a shrink twice a week and undergo random drug testing three times a week, according to TMZ.com.

Kim Kardashian was upset to be snubbed by President Barack Obama this week.
The reality TV star had reportedly hoped to meet the commander-in-chief at Steven Spielberg's USC Shoah Foundation gala in Los Angeles on Wednesday, and though she wasn't seated near the guest of honor, she asked one of her entourage to find out if he would meet her, only for her request to be denied.
"Kim's table wasn't close to President Obama's but she enlisted one of her minions to scout out the opportunity to meet him. Obama's table and surrounding area was swarming with Secret Service, and security was very tight. Kim's lackey was told to go pound sand, and it was conveyed to Kim that she wouldn't be able to meet him," a source said.

Courtney Love turned down a night with Russell Brand.
The 49-year-old rocker - who was famously married to late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain until his death in 1994 - has claimed she spurned the comedian's advances because of his "musky" stench.
Appearing on British talk show Alan Carr: Chatty Man, she recalled, "When we were friends, he tried to hit on me. He goes, 'I have had a lot of grand conversations, darling, but none of them have ended in an orgasm. Can we go in a room?' I said to him, 'Russell, you are too musky for me, man.' He is a little musky. We did yoga together and the musk was there."
While Courtney refused to be a notch on Russell's list of sexual conquests, the pair remain friendly and she even thinks of him as a British "national treasure." The star added, "I do think he is a national treasure. God, I wish I was as good as him. He flirts with men openly too."
