Dr. Dre is back at home after receiving treatment for a possible brain aneurysm at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
The 55-year-year-old rapper and businessman was released from the hospital Friday, his attorney, Peter Paterno, told The Associated Press in an email.
Dre suffered symptoms of an apparent brain aneurysm earlier this month, according to TMZ.
"Thanks to my family, friends and fans for their interest and well wishes," Dre wrote in an Instagram post on Jan. 5, which said he received great care at the hospital. "Shout out to all the great medical professionals at Cedars. One Love!!"
