Dr Dre’s eldest daughter said she was currently homeless and received no help from her hip-hop mogul father.

Latoya Johnson, 35, told the Daily mail that she lives with a rental car and does Uber Eats, DoorDash, and works in a warehouse to make ends meet. She said her father, who is worth $ 800 million, was helping her financially, but he abruptly stopped helping her in January 2020 because she told the media about him.

“His lawyer said my father didn’t want to help me because I talked about him in the press,” she said. “I feel like I’m damned if I do, I’m damned if I don’t.”

Johnson said she continually tried to contact him but couldn’t do so personally and had to go through her team. Johnson has not seen his father for 18 years. Even when he was hospitalized with a brain aneurysm in January 2020, Johnson said trying to see if he was okay was like pulling teeth.

Johnson, who moved from Las Vegas to California in the hope of finding a better job, said that due to her financial difficulties she was behind on payments for her rental car and feared losing the car soon.

“The car is a pretty penny,” she said. “It’s an SUV that costs $ 2,300 for three weeks and I only paid for one week. Sooner or later they will take the car.

Johnson, who is a single mother of four, said that due to her current struggles, her four children are currently staying with friends as she tries to gain some stability.

His teenage children are well aware of who their grandfather is and Johnson said they couldn’t believe he wouldn’t help her or build a relationship.

“I’m just trying to communicate with him and see if he wants to talk to his grandchildren,” she added. “My children are old enough to know who he is. They are in shock that he doesn’t want anything to do with them.
