The court has ordered American music mogul, Dr Dre to pay $1.5M to his estranged wife, Nicole Young, as their messy divorce case rages on.

In the order, the judge in the divorce case ruled this week that the veteran rap artiste pay Young another $1.55 million in legal fees and costs — after already coughing out over $2 million to his estranged wife.

The judge estimated that Nicole’s reasonable legal fees in the case so far should total $3 million, plus costs. Dre will now have to pay $1 million towards the balance of her fees, plus another $550,000 in costs associated with the case, the judge ruled, PageSix.com reports.

The payment would be for fees and costs through July 2, 2021. But it is unclear what the eventual tab will be moving forward in the case.

Young and her lawyers had previously said fees in the case were close to $4 million. The court papers reflect that Young’s legal tab can cost up to $1,100 per hour. She is being represented in the case by hotshot celebrity attorney, Samantha Spector.

The judge further ruled, as had been previously ordered, that Dre should pay Nicole $293,306 in monthly temporary spousal support — and that Dre must also pay for household costs including security, insurance, gardening, taxes, repairs and maintenance, retroactive to September 1, 2020.

That comes to $3,812,987 over the past year, the judge estimated in the ruling, adding that the previously paid living expenses that Dre had turned over already may not have included all the costs for the home. The ruling also said that the parties must confer on any added expenses Dre owes Young on the household costs by next month.
