Dr. Dre‘s wife, Nicole Young, has filed for divorce from the music producer after 24 years of marriage.

Young, 50, filed documents seeking to end her marriage with Dr. Dre, 55, — the producer, rapper and music mogul whose real name is Andre Young — on Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

She cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split and is seeking spousal support from Dr. Dre, who has amassed a major fortune in his time as an N.W.A. member, solo rapper, producer, co-owner of Death Row Records and founder and CEO of Aftermath Entertainment and Beats Electronics.

According to TMZ, Dr. Dre and Young do not have a prenup, and Forbes reports that the Still D.R.E. rapper is worth $800 million.

The pair got married in 1996. It was the first marriage for Dr. Dre. Young was previously married to NBA player Sedale Threatt.
