Music icon Dr. Dre deleted his Instagram post about his daughter getting into the University of Southern California (USC) without “jail time” after news of him donating $70 million to the school in 2013 resurfaced.
Dre, was a proud dad Saturday when he shared the news of his daughter, Truly Young, gaining admission into USC.
In the now-deleted post, the music mogul wrote, “My daughter got accepted into USC all on her own. No jail time!!!” Accompanying the post was a picture of his daughter proudly holding her certificate of admission.
It was a shot to parents accused of cheating to secure admission to colleges, like actress Lori Loughlin, who was recently indicted with her husband over an agreement to pay bribes totaling $500,000 to bolster their two daughters’ chances of getting into USC.
By Sunday evening, the Beats by Dre founder deleted his post after social media users found that he and producer Jimmy lovine made a $70 million donation in 2013 to the school for the creation of the Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy for Arts, Technology and the Business of Innovation.
A post from Dr. Dre’s daughter has also resurfaced from last year with the caption saying “Dad pushing me to go to USC”.
USC is among a number of schools involved in the $25 million college admissions scandal which focused on getting students admitted to elite universities as recruited athletes, regardless of their athletic abilities, and helping potential students cheat on their college exams, according to the March 12 indictment.

The Hmm Report:
"Dr. Dre boasted…that his daughter has been accepted to USC 'all on her own. No jail time!!!' His daughter’s admission to the school…comes six years after the rapper, along with record producer Jimmy Iovine, made a $70 million donation to USC."#TheHmmReport— J. D.
