(CNN) — Hip-hop luminary Dr. Dre took to Instagram on Sunday to celebrate his daughter’s acceptance to the University of Southern California and throw shade at other rich families caught up in a national admissions scandal. The rapper, whose real name is Andre Young, posted a picture with his daughter, Truly Young, and her acceptance letter to the school. “My daughter got accepted into USC all on her own,” the rapper wrote in the caption. “No jail time!!! !” Dre’s comment was a thinly veiled reference to the college admissions scandal in which dozens of parents are facing federal charges after accusations they cheated to get their children accepted to prestigious schools, including USC. But critics were quick to point out in the comments of Dre’s post that his daughter’s acceptance to the university came just a few years after he and producer Jimmy Iovine made a $70 million donation to the school. Dre and Iovine made the donation in 2013 to establish the Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy for Arts, Technology and the Business of Innovation, according to a university press release at the time. By Sunday afternoon, Dre had deleted the post.<doc-sep>Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine previously gave $70 million to establish a new academy at USC Dr. Dre Praises Daughter for Getting 'Into USC All on Her Own' 6 Years After Making $70M Donation Dr. Dre celebrated his daughter’s recent accomplishments while poking fun at the alleged college admissions bribery scandal, which has ensnared stars like Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin.

The four-year undergraduate program’s curriculum focuses on four areas: arts and entrepreneurship; technology, design and marketability; concept and business platforms; and creating a prototype. C. L. Max Nikias, the president of USC from 2010-18, praised the duo for their donation in 2013. “The vision and generosity of Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young will profoundly influence the way all of us perceive and experience artistic media,” he said. The academy’s first class of 25 students enrolled in fall 2014, and its first on-campus building, named the Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Hall, broke ground in 2017 and is scheduled to open this year. Loughlin, 54, and husband Mossimo Giannulli, the 55-year-old fashion designer, are among a list of 50 people, including Huffman, who have been indicted as part of an alleged nationwide scheme, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts. “Dozens of individuals involved in a nationwide conspiracy that facilitated cheating on college entrance exams and the admission of students to elite universities as purported athletic recruits were arrested by federal agents in multiple states and charged in documents unsealed on March 12, 2019, in federal court in Boston,” the release said.

Since it was revealed that Loughlin and Giannulli were charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud, the family has gone completely under the radar. A source told PEOPLE that the actress and her husband, as well as their daughters, are hunkered down at their house in Bel Air, California. “The whole family is still laying low at their Bel Air home,” the source said. “Lori and Mossimo both have court dates in Boston next week. It’s still a very stressful time for them all.” “They are living in the moment and that’s all they can do right now,” the source adds. “For them, this is all still a nightmare.” Olivia Jade x Sephora Collection Launch (L-R) Olivia Jade Giannulli, Lori Loughlin and Isabella Rose Giannulli | Credit: Gabriel Olsen/Getty Both Loughlin and Giannulli were arrested earlier in March and released on $1 million bonds. They have not entered pleas. Loughlin’s attorney has not returned PEOPLE’s requests for comment. A source recently told PEOPLE that many of the couple’s friends have been distancing themselves from them. “Lori and Mossimo are finding out quickly who their real friends are,” the insider said. “It’s not like they are the victims of a crime. They are the crime.”<doc-sep>Hip hop legend Dr. Dre took a jab at high-profile celebrities and other wealthy parents caught up in a recent college admission scandal while boasting about his daughter's acceptance into the University of Southern California. "My daughter got accepted into USC all on her own,” he wrote in a Saturday Instagram post. “No jail time!!!" Dre, 54, the former member of the rap group NWA whose real name is Andre Young, has an association with the Los Angeles university.

Dr. Dre, the music mogul, producer and rapper, posted on Instagram on Friday, bragging that his daughter got into the University of Southern California "all on her own." He posted the caption with a a photo showing him with his arm around his daughter Truly Young, who's holding her admissions offer from USC. "No jail time!" he exclaimed, referring to a college admissions scandal involving USC. Then, people on social media let him know that they haven't forgotten about Dre's special relationship with Los Angeles-based private university. "Perhaps jail time wasn't necessary but Dre did donate $70 million to USC along with Jimmy Iovine," wrote journalist Yashar Ali. Ali was referring to a 2013 donation to the school from Iovine and Dre that resulted in a building – the USC Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy for Arts, Technology and the Business of Innovation – being named after Dre. This was the tone of many people who saw the Instagram post, which went viral after it was posted. Some were saying that although he was suggesting that he didn't pay bribes to admissions counselors or specialists, like what's alleged to have happened with actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, he curried favor with the massive donation in 2013. "Is #DrDre (#AndreYoung) serious or joking, that his #daughter got into #USC on her own?" Twitter user @TruthandJust1 asked. "He donated a whopping $70 Million! A building & degree named after him! He must be joking. Right?" Several people expressed their incredulity at Dre's post along with a press release from 2013 announcing the creation of the Iovine and Young academy in 2013. Others said that this is the old way that the mega-rich buy their way into institutions of higher learning: by donating enough to have a building named after them and to secure admissions offers for their offspring. But some others on social media praised his daughter's hard work while throwing shade on Loughlin and Huffman. "Congrats to Dr.Dre and his daughter Truly Young. She was accepted in to USC on her own merits, no shady side deals," @lovelyti wrote on Instagram. A few hours after he posted it, though, Dre took the post down, signaling that perhaps the negative attention on social media got to him. Dre isn't implicated in the college admission scandal at USC. Institutions of higher learning all over the country have been rocked since federal prosecutors announced their investigation into a college admissions racket that included some of the nations most prominent colleges and universities, like USC, Stanford University, Georgetown University and Yale University. USC students who were caught up in the scandal may be expelled, the school said.
