Born to Dr. Dre and Michelle Toussaint, Marcel Young is their only son. Dr. Dre and Michelle might not need an introduction as they are two of the most popular celebrities in the music industry.
But contrastingly, the star kid Marcel chose a very private and simple lifestyle. His last public appearance was in 2015 at his mother’s concert. Unlike his parents, he is also not very active on social media and keeps his career and life lowkey.
According to many reports, his inclination toward a private life is his childhood trauma. His mother and father didn’t share a good relationship while Marcel was young, adversely affecting his mental health. And so, he chose a very different life away from media attractions.
