Hip-hop pioneer Doctor Dre, known for hosting Yo! MTV Raps from 1989 to 1995, spoke to WABC about complications stemming from his struggle with diabetes. He also addressed reports that he went blind from his complications with diabetes, which Dre says isn't entirely true.
He explained, "I had my retinas reattached, so I didn't go totally blind from the diabetes. In the reattachment, I have scar tissue behind my eyes, so when that kind of fluctuates, my vision comes back. Doctor Dre went on to speak about nutrition and taking care of his health, and he also spoke about his connection to a "higher spirit." You can hear him talk about his faith above, and listen to the full interview here.
