Dr. Dre could be days away from being the first rapper turned BILLIONAIRE ... thanks to a mega-deal for Apple to snatch up his Beats Electronics brand. Apple will reportedly buy Beats for a whopping $3.2 BILLION -- and since Dre and Interscope honcho Jimmy lovine created the brand ... its a safe bet they will walk away with a huge chunk of that cash. Dre and Jimmy started the brand back in 2008 with headphones -- but now theyre also making bank off speakers, car audio systems, and a streaming service. The deal could close next week ... and would be Apples biggest acquisition ever. Dre came in #2 on Forbes most recent list of hip hops wealthiest artists -- with a net worth of $550 million … while Diddy was #1 at $700 million. -TMZ
