So, while Drake is more along the lines of Hip Hop / R&B / Pop — there’s definitely no denying he’s got rhymes. Let’s be real, Wayne isn’t exactly the charitable type and it’s highly unlikely that he would sign Drake if his mixtapes weren’t sick (they were). From what we understand there’s been a lot of debate on this ex-Degrassi star’s street cred — and with origins from a show like Degrassi and a nationality that is Canadian, it’s not too hard to understand why (haha we kid — Canadians are awesome). When asked what he’ll do if the neighbors complain about his huge home and the potential noise that comes along with Drake living next door, he says he’ll buy their damn house! He’s already done it in Hidden Hills after neighbors complained about his pool parties. In 2014, he revealed to Rolling Stone that he came across the property after searching for the world’s craziest residential pools.
The view of the surrounding California hills is almost as amazing as that pool.
The sale marks Drake’s first property purchase in the Los Angeles area. For the last decade, he’s been compiling a compound in Hidden Hills, a gated city in the San Fernando Valley where celebrities flock for privacy. He also owns a 50,000-square-foot showplace in his hometown of Toronto. This war between Drake, Kendrick, and half the rap game continues to be the most unpredictable battle that rap has seen in decades.

After weeks of discussion about AI in rap, thanks to all of the fake diss tracks popping up, Drake leaned into his internet-savvy ways and figured out how to use the technology as a weapon in his own diss song. The $8 million ($7.7 million to be exact) insanity in Hidden Hills is complete with a grotto, tennis court, library, a cavernous wine cellar, a screening room and a gym — all Drake’s. The property sits on 3-acres of land, plenty of space for his epic pool parties. Built in 2001, the Tuscan-style showplace includes 10 bedrooms, 22 bathrooms and a host of amenities including a wine cellar, gym, library, game room, movie theater and 11-car garage. Sweeping staircases and an elevator navigate the three-story floor plan.

The centerpiece of the master bath is a 4,000-pound tub of faceted black marble carved from a single block. Equally dramatic is Drake’s two-story closet, adorned with amethyst hardware, rock crystal, and seating upholstered in diamond-tufted shearling with polished nickel studs. It’s the perfect place to display the musician’s extensive wardrobe, sneaker collection, and the array of precious Hermès Birkin bags that he has been amassing for years. Ross, who's frequently teamed up with Drake over the years, did not take that lightly.

As this spacious living room proves, two fireplaces and seating areas are better than one. To top off an already-appealing party room, this space has the perfect line of sight to downtown Los Angeles. Previous coverage reported that the master suite alone is twice the size of a regular apartment and features two covered decks, a hot tub, a dressing room, a kitchenette, and a steam shower, among other things. The rapper’s home comes with a rather unique toilet that plays soothing music to relax you while you, ahem, do your business. Not to mention it projects colorful lights and the lid lifts automatically, so even going to the bathroom can be quite the experience. Drake also gave fans a glimpse of his mega kitchen, which boasts an opulent marble island and rows of navy blue chairs for his guests to casually dine at.
Williams rose to stardom as a member of Take That in the 1990s and also found major success a solo artist with hits such as “Candy,” “Angels” and “Rock DJ.” He bought it from Armand Marciano, the fashion mogul who co-founded the clothing brand Guess. The playlists, good reads and video interviews you need—delivered every week. Looking for a home that feels more like a luxury vacation resort than a house? You just need a cool $14.8 million to get the deed to his "YOLO Estate." Never in the history of celebrity has anyone’s love life been so uninteresting. Well, ironically enough after he started acting, which he started in high school.

But sadly, it’s less like Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight and more like Marvel’s Ant-Man 3. And the lyrics are worse, as Ye spends the first half of the verse rapping about himself before firing off a few half-baked shots about Lucian Grainge, J. Cole, how he “can’t even think of a Drake line” (which is a lie). This remix falls in line with many of the lackluster verses that Ye has dropped recently, and it’s clear that he didn’t have much to add to this rap war, besides reigniting his long-running feud with Drake. I don’t think it’s necessarily a precursor for things to come that aren’t already happening, but AI in hip-hop is too new (and the lines are still too muddy) for it to be used in this way without taking a minute to think of potentially nasty applications in the future. Drake goes on to say that “Push Ups” only took him “an hour or two” to make and hints that his next diss track will “bring out the coward” in Kendrick. Then Drake digs deeper into his belief that Dot didn’t drop his reply this weekend because he was forced to stay out of Taylor Swift’s way.
The two other homes up for grabs are a 3,600-square-foot ranch listed at $4.5 million and a 2,500-square-foot ranch listed at $2.9 million. Both are a bit more relaxed than Drake’s main mansion; the larger one comes with an 800-square-foot guesthouse, and the smaller one comes with two acres of land dotted with pines, sycamore, pomegranate, citrus and pepper trees. A Midwestern boy at heart, he was raised in St. Louis and studied journalism at the University of Missouri. Before joining The Times as an intern in 2017, he wrote for the Columbia Missourian and Politico Europe.
In the master bedroom, Rafauli incorporated a hummingbird tapestry by Alexander McQueen for The Rug Company into the bedding. The bed is by Hästens x Ferris Rafauli; pendants by Jonathan Browning Studios. According to the outlet, the estranged couple may also attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday night at the Washington Hilton, but together or not, that’s not known.
Branden and Rayni Williams of The Beverly Hills Estates are co-listing the property with Marc Bretter of Maywood Property Group. "Because I was building it in my hometown, I wanted the structure to stand firm for 100 years. I wanted it to have a monumental scale and feel," the 33-year-old musician told AD. "It will be one of the things I leave behind, so it had to be timeless and strong." The second jewel of the great room is a monumental iteration of Lobmeyr’s iconic Metropolitan chandelier, originally designed by Hans Harald Rath for the Viennese maker to decorate the Metropolitan Opera in New York City in 1963. With more than 20,000 pieces of hand-cut Swarovski crystal, the dazzling light sculpture is the second largest installation of its kind in the world.
Right after the internet was sent into a tailspin with a viral Kendrick response track that Complex debunked as being the work of AI, Drake doubled down on his own instigation tactics when he dropped an AI-assisted diss song “Taylor Made Freestyle” on Instagram Friday night. Drake has the more luxurious property just by the numbers alone since it's valued at $100 million over Ross' $75 million. Not to mention it was built from the ground up by the legendary architect Ferris Rafuli. It's also sprinkled with incredibly lavish details such as a champagne and whiskey bar, and a chandelier made of over 20,000 hand-cut Swarovski crystal. To be fair, the Toronto International Film Festival is totally a big deal.

The 33-year-old started planning this dream home when he was 27, alongside architect and interior designer Ferris Rafauli. “Because I was building it in my hometown, I wanted the structure to stand firm for 100 years. “It will be one of the things I leave behind, so it had to be timeless and strong." Other highlights include a tennis court, sand volleyball court, mechanical bull and equestrian amenities such as a horse stable and riding ring.
While people questioned the authenticity of the romance, one thing is for certain and that’s the rapper’s love of the film, directed by Sean Baker. It made its music video debut in ‘Toosie Slide.’ The property is in Bridle Path, one of the city’s most well-to-do neighborhoods and reportedly cost the star $6.7 million. The Hidden Hills property, which Hugh Hefner previously owned, is a bachelor’s dream, The Daily Mail reports.
On the television show Degrassi, he played a rapper and in 2006 he released his first mixtape Room for Improvement. For all intents and purposes we are going to end this epic petty battle right now and say that, yes, he is considered a rapper. We’re pretty sure it’s safe to say he can definitely go from #realquick. In June 2022, Drake decided it was time for a change and ended up actually selling his infamous YOLO estate for $12 million.
For someone as busy as Drake, a place to totally unwind is essential, so a comfortable bedroom was a must. “The bedroom is where I come to decompress from the world at the end of the night and where I open my eyes to seize the day,” he told AD during a tour of his Toronto home in 2020. “The bed lets you float, the shower lets you escape and gather your thoughts, and the closet makes you want to talk to yourself while you’re getting dressed.” We hope he can find this same peace in Beverly Crest. There’s no denying this rapper has more money than he knows what to do with. Despite what many people may think, there is no crib in Roswell, GA, South Plainfield, NJ or Landrum, SC.
