Mr. Dre may have drunkenly confirmed Apple’s Beats acquisition

We don’t often hear tacit confirmations of $3.2 billion acquisitions in the presence of a beer as lame as Heineken — but that’s exactly what happened last night.
In a brief video posted to actor Tyrese Gibson’s Facebook page, Dr. Dre called himself “the first billionaire in hip-hop, right here from the motherf**king west coast.” Naturally, this prompted a string of profanities and some feverish dancing.
Earlier in the video, Gibson proclaimed, “The Forbes list [of wealthy individuals] just changed,” to which Dre added, “In a big way.”
The partiers were presumably excited about Apple’s rumored acquisition of Beats Electronics, which makes Beats headphones and recently spun off a streaming music service
. Apple is reportedly scooping up Dr. Dre’s company for a massive $3.2 billion, making Beats Apple’s largest acquisition by around $2.8 billion.
