Recently, a digitally altered image of Dr. Dre’s former wife, Nicole has gone viral sparking rumors that she is actually “a dude”. However, these rumors are completely baseless.
Key Takeaways
- Dr. Dre was married to Nicole Plotzker from 1996 to 2021.
- A picture has gone viral on social media that has prompted many to ‘transvestigate’ Dr. Dre’s ex-wife.
- However, the picture seems to be photoshopped, and there seems to be no credible evidence that Dr. Dre’s ex-wife is a trans-woman. Furthermore, Nicole is a mother and has given birth.
Dr. Dre, a prominent hip-hop artist and producer, was married to Nicole Young Plotzker from 1996 to 2021.
His marriage to his ex-wife spanned a significant portion of his career and personal life.
Their divorce was finalized in 2021 after a highly publicized legal process.
Recently, a manipulated image of Nicole Young Plotzker has circulated on social media, leading some individuals to engage in what is termed as “transvestigating” – speculating about one’s gender identity and history without their consent.
Peggy Dodson, the president of UBCTV, took to X alleging that Dr. Dre’s ex-wife Nicole Young “is a dude.”
Furthermore, she stated that there was “lots of revealing to do.”

Furthermore, on TikTok, people are circulating a video further alleging that his ex-wife was a man and transitioned into a woman.
However, the rumor did seem to start from the social media site X when a user named MAVERICK X’s post with the same pictures gained the most traction with over 17.7 million views.
The Pictures Alleging That Dr Dre’s Former Wife Is A Dude Are Digitally Altered
The photos seem to be photoshopped.
In the comments on MAVERICK X’s post, another user posted the unaltered image.
They stated that the photo was photoshopped and posted the original photo.
Moreover, the viral photo seems to have been cut at the neck level.
Nicole’s hair and facial features were altered to make her look like a man.
It can be confirmed that the photo is altered as Dr. Dre looks and poses exactly the same in both pictures.

Nicole can not be a trans-woman as she has given birth before.
Nicole and her ex-husband share a son, and Nicole and Dr. Dre also share two children.
Nevertheless, speculating about or revealing someone’s gender history without their consent is a major violation of their privacy.
“Transvestigating” is a harmful invasion of privacy that spreads misinformation, promotes transphobia, and disrespects individuals’ identities.
In Case You Didn’t Know
- Dr. Dre was recently sued by his ex-therapist over harassment claims.
- Dr. Dre and Nicole share a daughter, Truly, and a son, Truice.
- Before marrying Dr. Dre, she was married to NBA player Sedale Threatt.
- TMZ and other outlets have reported that Nicole worked as an attorney, but there are no verifiable proofs.
