*Another excerpt from Verna Griffin's autobiography has hit the Internet. In her book "Long Road Outta Compton," the mother of rap producer Dr. Dre talks about the day she was surprised with news that she would be a grandmother.
Just 17, Dre (real name: Andre Young) had been secretly seeing 16-year-old Lisa Johnson.
"Lisa's mom called me to inform me that Andre had been sneaking over to their home and Lisa was now pregnant," Griffin says, according to an excerpt in Page Six. "When I asked her if she was sure that it was Andre who had been with Lisa, she got very upset. She said, 'If I had come home and caught that n**ga in my house, you would have been picking him up in a box.' Needless to say, the conversation went down from there."
Ms. Verna snapped back: "My son didn't break in your house and rape your daughter; she let him in, which makes her just as much as fault as he is."
In January 1983, Johnson gave birth to Dre's first child, La Tonya Danielle, although the two never married.
