Dre went to the studio with singer Tyrese, movie director, F. Gary Gary and other friends and popped out lots of Champaign, Hennessy and Heineken, according to TMZ reports. At one point, Dre looked into the camera and said - "The first billionaire in hip hop ... right here from, the mother f**king West Coast!!"Tyrese added, "Oh s**t, the Forbes list just got changed!"
