Dr. Dre famously leaked the deal that would lead to Apple’s acquisition of Beats — and a new book shows how the premature celebration cost the rapper $200 million and almost put an end to the deal.

Tripp Mickle’s new book (via iMore) explores how an untimely celebration reduced the payout to Dr. Dre and Beats staff in the $3 billion acquisition in 2014.Chapter 10 of “After Steve: How Apple Became a Trillion-Dollar Company and Lost Its Soul,” describes Apple’s entry into music streaming in the early 2010s.
