#DrDre #USC #CollegeAdmissions #College  Dr. Dre got some backlash over an Instagram post about his daughter's acceptance into the University of Southern California this weekend. He wanted to make sure people knew she got in on her own merits and he's not embroiled in the recent admissions scandal. But the music mogul neglected to mention he's donated millions to the school. Dr. Dre posted a photo of himself with his daughter, Truly Young, holding her USC acceptance letter. "My daughter got accepted into USC all on her own. No jail time!" the caption read. The message was a jab at celebrity parents like Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, who face criminal charges in a massive college admissions scam .
