All FB and Instagram content seems to now be deleted. Probably learned from 50cent's Twitter stock-ramping faux-pas a few years ago [1] Probably makes it more likely to be happening. If true, this makes sense framed as an acquihire. $3.2bn to bring in Dre, a music industry genius and Jimmy Iovine, a highly influential label boss. iTunes is at risk of aging - kids' parents use it. It may be that Apple recognises the need for a brand for a younger, cooler audience who don't want to buy an MP3 file. Apple has the money but pulling labels (and artists) over to a viable subscription business model is going to take clout, influence and reputation. I expect Dre will shortly be rapping about his unforgettable journey.
