After a business-related fallout, Sean “Diddy” Combs and Dr. Dre have reunited in the studio for the first time in 8 years.
Diddy celebrated their reconnection by posting photos of their studio session on Instagram.
In the first image, Diddy is seen speaking into Dr. Dre’s ear while the two hold hands, clearly enjoying the moment.
The second photo captures them enjoying their collaboration, while the third and fourth images show Diddy attentively listening to Dre, the genius behind “Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thаng.”
Diddy’s captions reflect his admiration for Dre, saying, “I remember my first impression of @DrDre’s music. It set a high standard for the type of producer I aspired to work with.”
He further commented, “Working with him last night, I saw his brilliance firsthand as he guided me through the recording process. His dedication and unique style contrasted with how I view myself, reminding me to stay focused, LOL.”
In the fifth photo, Diddy is shown in action inside the recording booth.
The session also featured other celebrities, including Kanye West and Snoop Dogg.
The rift between Diddy and Dr. Dre stemmed from a 2014 incident when Tyrese Gibson prematurely announced on Facebook that Apple was about to purchase Dr. Dre’s Beats business for $3.2 billion. This leak, which Diddy revealed to Beats co-founder Jimmy Iovine, led Apple’s CEO Tim Cook to renegotiate the deal to $3 billion, causing Dre to lose $200 million.
