Apple’s rumored acquisition of Beats Electronics seems to be a locked deal, with a Facebook video uploaded by actor Tyrese Gibson suggesting an imminent announcement.
In the 83 second clip, the actor congratulates hip-hop icon Dr. Dre on the acquisition. At 66 seconds in, Dr. Dre appears to confirm the acquisition:
“The first billionaire in hip-hop, right here from the motherfucking West Coast.”
The full video is available below, though it’s been pulled from Facebook.
Apple’s acquisition gives the tech giant access to a foothold in the music streaming world, something it has long been without.
