Bass Blaster Beatz
CEO at Beats by Dre


Bass sent the following email to Beats by Dre employees earlier today. Dre Beats Fam, It is with a heavy heart that I write to inform you that we have been forced to layoff 10% of our employees due to an unfortunate incident in the area. Though it pains me to do this, it is a necessary action to ensure the safety and security of our company and its staff.
I accept full personal accountability for this difficult situation
As some of you may have heard, there was a drive-by shooting nearby that resulted in significant damage and disruption to the neighborhood. This tragedy has impacted the Beats by Dre business, leading to the regrettable decision to layoff staff. I accept full personal accountability for this difficult situation and assure you that no further action will be taken without my authorization. I understand that this can be a difficult time, and I thank all of you who will continue to work with us moving forward. Best wishes, Bass Blaster Beatz
