Dr. Dre was handcuffed and searched after a confrontation in front of his Malibu home
Police came to the scene after the man called and claimed that Dre, whose real name is Andre Young, brandished a handgun and ordered him to move his car.
According to TMZ, Young only pulled out a cellphone to record the man, who was cursing at the rap mogul. At that point, the man allegedly said, "Here we go again, another black guy with a gun," and called the local sheriff.
Police arrived at Young's home and "searched, handcuffed, and briefly detained" the rapper-producer in a patrol car, Billboard reports. Officers said Young was cooperative during the search and "denied all allegations regarding a handgun," and the police released him after finding no weapon at the scene or on his person.
Young's lawyer has reportedly declined to comment on the situation.
