MORE ON DR DADDY’S ‘SECRET KIDS’

The interviewer appears stunned at the fact the Grammy-award-winning rap artist has never spoken of his other kids & Lisa expresses her anger at revelations in Dre's autobiography.

She says: "He put me out there as this well-kept secret, teenage secret…I'm gonna tell the truth."

DR DADDY'S 'SECRET KIDS'

Bombshell claims that Dr Dre's daughter is homeless and living in her car has put his troubled family life into sharp focus.

Now a resurfaced 2010 interview with Dre's baby mama Lisa Johnson, 53, who raised three girls by the Death Row Records producer single-handedly, reveals the star's two 'secret' daughters LaToya and Ashley Young.

When Lisa is asked how many children she has with the Hip Hop star in the clip, she replies, "I have three daughters."

The shocked interviewer says: "Three daughters!? How come you only talk about one daughter?" Lisa responds: "I’m not sure why but in due time you will get that real story."

He had reportedly been out with friends the night before and was discovered in bed by his mother in their California home. 

The Los Angeles County coroner said he overdosed on heroin and morphine and it was ruled an accident. 

Young Jr had been the subject of a paternity dispute in 1990.
