However, there are conflicting reports on the exact location where the legal representative confronted Dre.
A source close to the producer told TMZ he was approached while standing next to his grandma' casket.
However, sources close to Nicole said he was served in the cemetery parking lot after the burial.
Dre did take the documents as he recoiled in anger.
The papers served to Dre involved a judge’s order directing Dre to finish paying Nicole's attorney fees.
The judge ordered him to pay R22 million, but Dre paid R403 000, saying the amount he was instructed to pay was erroneous.
The legal papers contained the judge’s final order for him to pay the R22 million.
Eventful divorce
Nicole filed for divorce from Dre in July 2020, after 24 years together. She cited irreconcilable differences.
Nicole had initially demanded to be paid R26 million per month and the R65 million for her lawyers.
