Details are scarce because the house wasn’t publicly listed for sale, but the source said the deal should close north of $70 million — likely in the mid-$70-million range. Earlier this month, the famous rapper is purchasing another mansion in an off-market deal in Beverly Hills for $50 million, $35 million below the asking price. The house measures 25,000 square feet and fits 11 vehicles in its garage.

Like, Drake didn't even renovate it or anything — just his presumed presence within this huge mansion is enough to bump up its price tag by nearly 20% over what he paid. Drake has owned the property for just over a year, having paid English musician Robbie Williams $75 million back in late Febaruary 2022 for the property that cost Williams just over $32 million back in 2015. Drake, also known as Champagne Papi, crowned his property as the YOLO (You Only Live Once) estate after his hit song The Motto. He even had a sign outside the property but later got rid of it, as it kept getting stolen. A massive patio surrounds the inground pool that’s designed with a summery emblem. The kitchen is designed with two massive islands, glossy counters and spherical pendants.

The suspect was reportedly carrying an item from the home when he was detained, the site said. This war between Drake, Kendrick, and half the rap game continues to be the most unpredictable battle that rap has seen in decades. Here’s a breakdown of each verse in “Taylor Made Freestyle” and an explanation of what it all means. 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 is in the middle of an all-out war against Kendrick Lamar (and half the rap game) right now, and diss songs are getting lobbed back and forth.

That is, of course, in addition to multiple formal living and dining rooms, per the listing. Drake closes AI Snoop’s verse by poking fun at Kendrick’s status as a rappers’ rapper, saying, “Dot, you know that the OG never fucking doubted you/ But right now it seem like you posted up without a clue/ Of what the fuck you 'bout to do.” Then he passes the song back to himself. The hip-hop star is buying the Beverly Crest mansion of English singer-songwriter Robbie Williams, according to a real estate source who spoke about the transaction on condition of anonymity.

“It will be one of the things I leave behind, so it had to be timeless and strong,” he added. There are an additional three ensuite bedrooms in the staff quarters. The singer may be leaving the United States for good after listing his Beverly Hills estate for $88 million — the last of his properties in the country. I guess all it takes to bump up the cost of a house this gargantuan is the knowledge that a famous dude once lived in it.

Since Toronto native Drake first bought property in California, he’s been living the Valley lifestyle, out in the exclusive gated community of Hidden Hills. Now, it appears that the musician is ready for Los Angeles living. According to the LA Times, Drake is purchasing a home in the Beverly Crest neighborhood of L.A.

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. If the home sells for the requested $88 million, Drake would not be the only singer to turn a tidy profit on the property. The Times reports that Williams purchased the home in 2015 for “just” $32.67 million.

All is fair in love and rap war, so it’s hard to argue the moral permissibility of Drake evoking the voice of a deceased artist like Pac, especially when Dot also used deepfake AI technology in his “The Heart Part 5” music video to look like Kobe Bryant and Nipsey Hussle. Dot got the approval of Nip’s family and was using the tech to pay homage to the late icons, and Drake is using it in a much different context. We also have to take into account the potentially dangerous symbolism of a massive artist like Drake embracing AI technology, and he shouldn’t be lauded as a creative mastermind for it. 200 high-profile artists just signed a petition to protect music from shit like this. With disinformation already running rampant on the internet, the last thing rap needs is the voices of the dead popping up on diss tracks.

He’s already done it in Hidden Hills after neighbors complained about his pool parties. The official NBA-size court is painted with details inspired by Drake’s lifestyle brand, October’s Very Own. “Because I was building it in my hometown, I wanted the structure to stand firm for 100 years.

Every detail of the sprawling property has been meticulously conceived and executed. Los Angeles Rams quarterback Mathew Stafford reportedly bought two of the smaller homes on the property when it went on the market in March. There is also a pool/guest house with a mosaic-tiled pool and an indoor/outdoor kitchen, as well as a hidden tennis court and an orchard.

Then he finishes with an explosive outro where he accuses Drake of sending a cease-and-desist to French Montana, claims that he had work done to his body, and emphatically calls him “white boy” with enough passion to make even the most mature listener snicker. And then of course, there’s the cover artwork, which looks like a photoshopped photo of Drake as a white man, but is, in fact, a real photograph. Good old-fashioned shit-talking is the foundation of any good diss track, and Rick Ross is a hall-of-famer when it comes to that. Remember the chintzy, pimped-out McMansions that were a staple of the long-running MTV series Cribs? The Toronto home of mega recording artist Aubrey Drake Graham is something else altogether. Measuring 50,000 square feet, with amenities such as an NBA regulation-size indoor basketball court crowned by a 21-square-foot pyramidal skylight, Drake’s astonishing domicile certainly qualifies as extravagant.

Officers reviewed security camera footage and were able to identify the alleged suspect, whom they detained later near the property. The man was later booked for burglary, Moore said, adding that identifying information about him and the property owner were not being released. A man has been arrested after allegedly breaking into hip-hop star Drake’s Beverly Hills mansion on Thursday night.
