Dr. Dre 'dead': He's serious about his participation in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles


Dr. Dre is looking to become a West Coast legend in more ways than one.

The legendary rapper and producer became one of the biggest names in the rap scene in the late 1980s and early 1990s as part of NWA and co-founder of Death Row Records.

Since then, he discovered Eminem and 50 Cent and founded Aftermath Entertainment and Beats by Dre, on his way to becoming a billionaire.

His legacy is cemented on the West Coast and in the rap world, but he apparently has one more thing to check off his bucket list.

“I'm trying to get into the 2028 Olympics… I'm dead… seriously,” he told Entertainment Tonight this week.

Your favorite sport? Archery.

“I actually started archery in high school. I stopped for a while and my son bought me some equipment. I have it set up in my backyard and I heard the distance to qualify for the Olympics is 77 feet. I shoot at 90 feet. Wouldn't that be interesting?” she said.

It would be something of a fate for Dre, since the 2028 Olympics will be in Los Angeles (Dre grew up in Compton).

Dre was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in March for his nine GRAMMY Awards and other achievements in the music industry.

South Korea swept all five archery events (men's individual, men's team, women's individual, women's individual and mixed team). Brady Ellison of the United States won silver in the men's individual and bronze in the mixed team, along with Casey Kaufhold.

The United States has 14 gold medals in archery, but none since 1996, so maybe Dr. Dre can break the drought.
