A brain aneurysm occurs when a weak spot in your brain’s arterial wall bulges and fills with blood. It may also be called an intracranial aneurysm or cerebral aneurysm.

A brain aneurysm is a potentially life-threatening condition that can affect a person at any age. If a brain aneurysm bursts, it’s an emergency situation that can result in a stroke, brain damage, and even death if not treated immediately.

Entertainment website, TMZ reported earlier Tuesday that Dr Dre was taken to Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Monday after suffering the aneurysm but is currently stable.

News of Dr Dre’s hospitalization made the rounds on social media very quickly on Tuesday night, with several celebs wishing him well. Most notably among those was Ice Cube, who tweeted a photo of the pair and wrote, “Send your love and prayers to the homie Dr Dre.”
