Young, 50, had requested that Dr. Dre, 55, pay $5million in fees she’s spent on their divorce as well as $1.5 million her for various expenses, such as security as her legal team said she’s been threatened amid the split, according to TMZ.

Dr. Dre’s lawyer, Laura Wasser, said that the rapper is still willing to pay all of Young’s expenses pending the divorce, including a security detail.

The judge ordered that Nicole could select a private security company for her personal protection, but it can’t cost more than Dre was paying.

The judge also rejected Young’s request to have a January hearing regarding the $5 million for attorney’s fees moved up to this year, TMZ reported. According to the judge, there are serious domestic violence and custody cases he has to deal with, and that if she felt her life was in danger, she should file for a restraining order from the rapper.

Earlier this week, Dre rejected his estranged wife’s request that he pay $2 million in monthly spousal support expenses, claiming that he’s already footing the bill for her every need

In June, Young filed for divorce after 24 years of marriage

Dre and Nicole Young married in 1996. It was the first marriage for Dre. Young was previously married to NBA player Sedale Threatt. The pair share two adult children together, daughter Truly Young, 19, and son Truice Young, 23. The rapper has four children from previous relationships.
