Dre and Nicole will now fight over the prenuptial agreement's legitimacy, which will decide their property settlement. Nicole wants the prenup to be declared null and void, claiming that Dre committed not to enforce it.

Dre claims that this never happened and that the prenuptial agreement is unbreakable. According to TMZ, Dr Dre said that his split from Nicole had reached the point of no return.

The contentious split has dragged on through abuse claims, diss tracks and allegations of mistresses and love children. This was when Nicole decided that she had enough and wanted out.

"His long-term abuse must be a factor that the court takes into account in awarding support and fees," she added in the filing according to Entertainment Tonight.
