LOS ANGELES, California -- Hip hop artist Dr. Dre is facing some backlash after he posted a photo on Instagram with his daughter and her acceptance letter to the University of Southern California.



He wrote: "My daughter got accepted into USC all on her own. No jail time!!!"



Some people responded on social media, pointing out that Dr. Dre and producer Jimmy Iovine donated $70 million to USC in 2013.



The donation was to help create an academy named for the two that will focus on business and entertainment-related fields.



Dre has since deleted the post.
