Rapper and music mogul Dr. Dre bragged last week that his daughter, Truly Young, got into USC “all on her own.”
It was a direct shot to people like Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman who got caught in the college admissions scandal.
But as it happens his daughter did not, in fact, get into USC “all on her own” as Dre, real name Andre Young, made a $70 million donation to the school, The Daily Mail reported.

‘My daughter got accepted into USC all on her own. No jail time!!!’ Dre wrote alongside a photo of them posing with Truly’s certificate of admission.
Truly also took to her Instagram story, saying: ‘All my hard work paid off. I’m going to film school.’

They have both since deleted their congratulatory photos on Instagram.
Her admission comes six years after Dre and record producer Jimmy Iovine made a whopping $70 million donation to USC.

Their donation in 2013 went towards creating the USC Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy for arts and technology.
They also have a building named after them on the USC campus.
‘The vision and generosity of Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young will profoundly influence the way all of us perceive and experience artistic media,’ C. L. Max Nikiasthe, who was the USC president at the time, said when the donation was made.
A news release from USC in 2013 said the academy named after the music industry icons would help undergraduates in marketing, business entrepreneurship, computer science and engineering, audio and visual design, and the arts.
2. Perhaps jail time wasn’t necessary but Dre did donate $70 million to USC along with Jimmy Iovine. 🤔 https://t.co/KLfzbG79eT

Dre did it the old fashioned way. Giving $70 million to USC probably helped a LITTLE. https://t.co/VThZbHyvmM

Might not be the best example…
“Dre, who is from Compton, has made multiple donations to schools in Southern California, including … a $70 million donation to USC to create a new arts, technology and business academy in 2013.” https://t.co/MWkErMQFWH
