If you watched Surviving Compton you’re most likely wondering: How many kids does Dr. Dre have? The rapper, whose real name is Andre Young, had six children but one of his sons passed away. Similar to Eazy-E, the rapper believes in reproducing. When you have five kids you never have to worry about being lonely!
