Dr. Dre celebrated his daughter’s recent accomplishments while poking fun at the allegedcollege admissions bribery scandal, which has ensnared stars likeFelicity HuffmanandLori Loughlin.
The hip-hop icon, 54, marked his daughter Truly Young’s acceptance into the University of Southern California with a since-deleted Instagram post that said he won’t face any jail time because Truly, 17, was admitted without help.
“My daughter got accepted into USC all on her own. No jail time!!!” wrote Dr. Dre (né Andre Young), who along with fellow music mogul Jimmy Iovinegave $70 million to USC in 2013to establish the USC Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy for Arts, Technology and the Business of Innovation.
The proud dad’s photo showed him posing with Truly as she holds her certificate of admission and an “Experience USC” pamphlet.
Busta Rhymes, TI and Timbaland also left the same emoji, whileNick Cannonwrote, “Absolute Success!!!”
Truly shared the same photo to her Instagram, and later revealed on her Instagram Story that she’ll be attending the USC School of Cinematic Arts.
“ALL MY HARD WORK PAID OFF. I’M GOING TO FILM SCHOOL,” she wrote.

Dre and Iovine — who founded Beats Electronics in 2008 andsold it to Apple for $3 billion in 2014— established the academy for undergrad students interested in marketing, business entrepreneurship, computer science and engineering, audio and visual design and the arts, according to a 2013press release.
The four-year undergraduate program’s curriculum focuses on four areas: arts and entrepreneurship; technology, design and marketability; concept and business platforms; and creating a prototype.
C. L. Max Nikias, the president of USC from 2010-18,praised the duofor their donation in 2013.
“The vision and generosity of Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young will profoundly influence the way all of us perceive and experience artistic media,” he said.
The academy’s first class of 25 students enrolled in fall 2014, and its first on-campus building, named the Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Hall,broke groundin 2017 and is scheduled to open this year.

A source told PEOPLE that the actress and her husband, as well as their daughters, are hunkered down at their house in Bel Air, California.
“The whole family is still laying low at their Bel Air home,” the source said. “Lori and Mossimo both have court dates in Boston next week. It’s still a very stressful time for them all.”
“They are living in the moment and that’s all they can do right now,” the source adds. “For them, this is all still a nightmare.”
