‘Apryl Jones Got Lori Harvey Beat’: Social Media Reacts to Dr. Dre and ‘Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood’ Star Apryl Jones Spotted Having Dinner Together

Despite a messy and ongoing divorce from his estranged wife, Nicole Young, and a recent medical scare, Dr. Dre seems to be doing just fine. The super producer was even spotted out having dinner recently with a new lady friend. 

In new footage captured by blog site The Shade Room, the former N.W.A. band member was seen arriving and leaving BOA Steakhouse with “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” star Apryl Jones in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Feb. 10.

As previously reported, Dr. Dre is currently going through a tumultuous divorce battle with his wife Nicole that has made headlines on several occasions, with one update being messier than the next. Nicole filed for divorce last June after 24 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason. The pair share two adult children, Truly and Truice Young. However, Dre does have children from previous relationships. 

As for the VH1 reality star, Apryl had remained relatively out of the spotlight since her breakup with fellow cast mate Lil Fizz in January 2020. Some saw their relationship as taboo, seeing as Fizz is former band mate of B2K member Omarion, the father of Apryl’s two young children. 

Apryl was accused of creating bad blood between the two men, which ultimately affected their musical group. However, Omarion has said that Apryl’s love life doesn’t bother him. “I don’t feel any way about it,” he said in November 2019. “I think that if they’re happy, then they should be happy. I think they should change the narrative, though. She’s still the mother of my children.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
