Rapper Dr Dre was detained by Malibu cops following an alleged dispute with a motorist, who parked his vehicle in front of the musician's house.

The 51-year-old producer, whose real name is Andre Romelle Young, was reportedly handcuffed when the motorist called the Los Angeles County Sheriff's department, and said that he'd been threatened by someone (Dre) with a gun, reported People.

However, the rapper claimed that the motorist parked in front of his home at Malibu, which ultimately blocked the driveway and that's why he told him to move his car. He also denied that he had a gun with him.
 

But the man insisted Young had a hand gun and threatened him and he would be hurt if he did not leave.

The police later said they did not find a weapon and released Young, who refused all the allegations.
