Who Is Marcel Young?
Marcel Young is the son of one of the most popular hip-hop artists, record producers, and entrepreneurs of modern times, Dr. Dre.
He was born on the 6th of February 1991 in Los Angeles, California, USA. As of May 2022, he is around 31 years old.
As stated earlier, the only fame he has today is because of his mom and dad. His zodiac sign is Aquarius.
Something interesting about people who have the Aquarius zodiac is that they have personal boundaries; they are clever, optimistic, and self-reliant.
You can also find all of these traits in Marcel Young. Marcel is the only child of Dr. Dre and Michel’le; however, Dr. Dre has been in several relationships before and after dating Michel’le.
From all other relationships, Marcel had eight other step-siblings. One of them, Andre Young, died at the age of 20 due to a drug overdose.
Marcel belongs to the African-American ethnicity, and he is an American. He follows the religion of his parents, Christianity.
Because he was born to Dr. Dre, he spent his early life in a good and rich environment. He didn’t face many financial troubles as a kid.
Dr. Dre founded the famous label Aftermath Entertainment in 1996, which is located in Santa Monica, California, USA.
Many famous hip-hop artists and singers are currently signed to this record label, like Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, and others.
He is also the creator and founder of Beats By Dre, a famous audio products manufacturer. Dr. Dre has other business ventures to keep the ball rolling.
The Relationship Issues Between Marcel Young’s Parents
It is true that Dr. Dre and Michel’le were never married but engaged for around nine to ten years, from 1987 to 1996.
Before coming into a relationship with Michel’le, Dr. Dre had been in three other relationships before, and he also has children from all three of those women.
Dr. Dre met Michel’le in 1987; they got engaged after some time, and four years later, Marcel Young was born in 1991.
But, according to Michel’le, Dr. Dre has impulsive, rude, offensive, and barbaric behavior, and it was not possible to live with him anymore.
And he also used to drink a lot and was often in a bad and drunken state. To make things even worse, Michel’le found out that Dr. Dre is engaged to another woman.
This worked as the last nail in their relationship’s coffin. Eventually, Marcel Young’s parents decided to get separated in 1996, after nine years of being in a relationship.
