The agreement comes days after it was announced that Dr. Dre was in recovery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after suffering a brain aneurysm.
On Tuesday, a source told PEOPLE the music mogul was "lucid" in recovery. Soon after, he was in stable condition and provided a health update on Instagram, writing that he was "doing great and getting excellent care."
That same night, just hours after news broke that he had been hospitalized, his $50 million Brentwood Estates mansion was the target of an attempted burglary, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. Four suspects were arrested in connection to the incident, the LAPD confirms to PEOPLE. They were detained and taken into custody. The investigation remains ongoing.
