Dr. Dre’s eldest daughter who claims she is homeless and living in a car has launched a GoFundMe campaign asking the public for $50,000 after her superstar dad reportedly refused to give her a dime.

LaTanya Young, 38, said that she has been left with no choice but to appeal to strangers for money now that her famous father, rumored to be worth $800 million, has allegedly cut her off financially.

LaTanya, a single mother-of-four, said: ‘I think GoFundMe campaigns are for people in desperate situations and I’m in a desperate situation. 

Dr. Dre’s eldest daughter LaTanya Young recently revealed that she has been living out of a rental car while working as a delivery driver for DoorDash and Uber Eats to make ends meet

The 38-year-old single mother of four launched a GoFundMe campaign Tuesday seeking $50,000 in donations to help her and her family find a ‘safe and stable home’ 

‘Some people were in awe of what I am going through and asked if I had a GoFundMe.

‘I really don’t want to accept any handouts but I appreciate anything that is offered.

‘I have worked all my life and I know how to work for money but I’m in a difficult place right now.

‘I believe in investing in your kids.

‘That’s what I want to do for my kids so they are never in a position like I am right now.’

LaTanya added she has still not given up hope of a reunion with her father, whose legal name is Andre Romelle Young, whom she has not seen in 18 years.

‘I know my dad is a busy man but I hope he will see it and reach back out to me on a father-daughter level,’ she said.

LaTanya stunned music fans when she revealed this week that she was living out of a rental car in Tarzana, California, and taking odd jobs as a delivery driver for DoorDash and as a warehouse assembler, despite her father’s staggering wealth. 


LaTanya, who is Dr. Dre’s daughter by ex Lisa Johnson, says she has not seen her famous father in 18 years and doesn’t even have his cell phone number. The 55-year-old hip hop mogul, meanwhile, was recently ordered to pay his ex-wife Nicole (right) $300,000 a month in spousal support 

In the past, LaTanya has only been able to make contact with him through his lawyers, but she claims he is now ignoring her repeated requests for help

LaTanya is Dr Dre’s daughter by Lisa Johnson, 53. The couple split when LaTanya was five years old.

She said she doesn’t even have Dr Dre’s cell phone number, admitting that she has to communicate with him through his team.

She added that her four children – Tatiyana, 17, Rhiana, 14, D’Andre, nine, who is named after his grandfather, and Jason III, four – have never met their superstar grandfather.

‘My kids are staying with friends. They are not living in the car. it’s just me.

‘I’m taking odd jobs just to make it now. I got paid $15-an-hour as an assembler at the warehouse.

‘I’m trying to keep my head above water. I’ve been in debt for a while.

‘I’m homeless and I’ve been reaching out to my dad for help.

Ever since she was a little girl, LaTanya claims, she was forced to go through her father’s staff to communicate with him

‘His lawyer has said that my dad doesn’t want to help me because I’ve spoken about him in the press.

‘I’m just trying to communicate with him and see if he wants to talk to his grandkids.

‘My kids are old enough to know who he is. They are in shock that he doesn’t want anything to do with them.’

LaTanya admitted that in the past her father has helped her financially but that assistance ended in January 2020.

Her revelations caused fierce debate on social media with many arguing that a 38-year-old woman should be able to take care of herself financially.

However others could not fathom how a man as wealthy as Dr Dre could allow his daughter to be homeless.

The rapper has not yet addressed LaTanya’s allegations.
