Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Dre put $7m into Super bowl to stop censorship

Dr Dre knows that the censors will come for anything and everything they deem too racy for half time, so he took care of things himself.

Word is they were especially concerned about lines like in the 1999 hit ‘Still D.R.E.’ – ‘Still f***ing with the beats, still not loving police’.  Which is really pretty tame considering music today.

The league also ordered the star not to kneel during the performance, which Eminem did anyway.

Dre dished out more than half of the $13 million budget required for this year’s performance, shelling out $7million despite having no new songs to promote.

That kind of money will go a long way towards giving Dre the confidence he needed to tell censors to fuck off.  And it worked because he still recited the lyrics.
