Dr. Dre Appears to Confirm Apple's Acquisition of Beats [Video]

Posted May 9, 2014 at 3:19pm by iClarified
Dr. Dre appears to confirm Apple's acquisition of Beats in a video posted to Facebook by Tyrese. News broke yesterday that Apple was in talks to acquire the company for $3.2 billion. Co-founder Jimmy lovine is also rumored to join Apple as a special adviser to Tim Cook.

Tyrese captioned the video with:

"How did I end up in the studio with Dr Dre ON THE night his deal went public that he did with Apple 3.2 BILLION!!!!! The BEATS HEADPHONES JUST CHANGED HIP HOP!!!!!!"


In the video we see Dr. Dre and Tyrese celebrating:

---
Tyrese: "Billionaire boys club for real homie. Fix your face"

Dr. Dre: "You know that"

Tyrese: "Fix your face"


Dr. Dre: "You know that"

Tyrese: "Oh, shit. The Forbes list just changed. It came out like two weeks ago. They need to update the Forbes list. Shit just changed."

Dr. Dre: "In a big way. Understand that. The first billionaire in hip-hop. Right here from the motherf*cking west coast. Believe me."
-----

The post has since been removed from Facebook and we've yet to receive official confirmation of a deal from Apple or Beats.

Beats are over priced if u ask me, but i can see why apple wants the company, it fits there exclusivity reputation. Its all about the brand name nowadays. profit over everything, win win situation for both parties
