Super producer and rapper Dr Dre is set to become Hip Hop's first billionaire as Apple Inc is close to sealing a multi-billion dollar deal to purchase Beats Electronics, the company he founded with music producer Jimmy Lovine in 2008.
The company produces the popular Beats By Dre headphones and also runs a music streaming service, which Apple is more
interested in than the headphones itself. If this happens, it will be Apple's biggest acquisition till date. ($3.2billion)
