The Los Angeles Times notes that this would be the most expensive home sale in Southern California this year. Luxury real estate sales have slowed since Measure ULA was implemented in April, putting a transfer tax on Los Angeles property sales that exceed $5 million. The 25,000-square-foot house is currently the most expensive home for sale in the zip code. Despite the eminently recognizable zip, the mansion sits in Beverly Crest, a well-to-do neighborhood bordering Beverly Hills but still in Los Angeles. The houses are next door to a 12,500-square-foot home that Drake also owns at 5841 Round Meadow Road, dubbed his YOLO estate, which he listed at the same time for $14.8 million. The rapper known for “Hold on, We’re Going Home” spends much of his time in his hometown of Toronto, where he owns a 50,000-square-foot mansion in the tony Bridle Path neighborhood.

Indeed, the scale of the rooms sets the tone for the home experience from the moment one enters the vast entry hall, which is clad in solid limestone with beveled inserts of Nero Marquina marble beneath a faceted ceiling of antique mirror framed in bronze. The epic great room, which soars to 44 feet high, pumps up the volume even further. “Drake’s world completely revolves around music, so he wasn’t going to buy just any piano. This prized possession is an authentic marriage of artistry, craft, and quality,” Rafauli notes. The hip-hop superstar reveals himself in all his new music, including his latest project, "More Life," which is touted as a "playlist" and includes some of the rapper and singer's best tracks to date. Drake's property is being repped by The Beverly Hills Estates, which describes itself as having reached "the pinnacle of the global real estate market," so sounds like he's in good hands.

The price tag is a reflection of the prized property’s rare combination of size and scale, which is unmatched in the Beverly Hills Post Office area. The trophy estate spans 20,000 square feet on more than 20 acres; for reference, there is no other home on the market in the ZIP Code with even close to that much land. The furnishings, here as throughout the home, were all custom designed by Rafauli in materials that range from dyed ostrich skin and mohair to macassar and bronze.

On the third verse, Drake finally takes the AI effects off and raps in his own voice. AI Snoop Dogg opens his verse by rapping, “Nephew, what the fuck you really 'bout to do? / We passed you the torch in the House of Blues,” which references the infamous moment in 2011 when Snoop, Dr. Dre, and The Game passed the symbolic west coast rap torch to Kendrick in front of a live audience.

Features include the formal living and dining rooms, a gourmet kitchen with a breakfast room, a library and a two-family room — one of which doubles as a screening room. The property boasts canyon, city and ocean views surrounded by lush gardens and grounds, the listing says. An insider told The Post that the 36-year-old has no plans of buying other property in the US anytime soon — adding that he is most comfortable in his hometown of Toronto, Canada’s largest city. The Canadian rapper seemingly just settled down in Los Angeles only to get cold feet, putting his newly-purchased $75 million mansion home back on the market.
The oversized primary suite has a retractable wall that opens to a private patio, complete with vista views. Drake, whose full name is Aubrey Drake Graham, is an active trader in real estate. The property comes with an 11-car garage and a motor court with room for a dozen more. Drake has never shied away from rapping about food—seriously—so we bet he loved this gourmet kitchen, which boasts stainless appliances, marble countertops, and two islands. With floating woven light pendants and a majestic fountain, this space feels like you're rolling up to a five-star hotel—not someone's house. It’s Drake’s third and final home sale in Los Angeles’s Beverly Hills, and he saved the best for last.

As the LA Times noted, if Drake can get a buyer to cough up $88m for his house, it'll be the most expensive home sale in Southern California all year amidst the region's weakened luxury real estate market. There is also a full-size beach volleyball court, an 80-foot slide, and an outdoor fireplace. Amenities include a basketball court, a tennis court, and an equestrian ring. Overall the house boasts a wine cellar, a tasting room, six fireplaces, and a theater that seats 25, according to TMZ. Highlights of the 10-bedroom, 22-bathroom estate include a double-height foyer with a grand staircase, a living room with two fireplaces, wine cellar, gym, an elevator, a kitchen with dual islands and an upstairs master bedroom with a view of Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean.
With a marble bathtub, skylight and picture windows, the ensuite bathroom is pure opulence. Drake, whose full name is Aubrey Drake Graham, has released seven studio albums since 2010, including the surprise release of “Honestly, Nevermind,” which dropped this month. He’s sold more than 170 million records en route to four Grammy Awards and also founded the Toronto record label OVO Sound in 2012. 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. Because the compound is found in Beverly Crest — an affluent enclave above Beverly Hills, but technically in the city of L.A.

The song was previewed in full exclusively through Drake’s Instagram on April 19, 2024, after he had officially dropped his first diss track “Push Ups” earlier in the day. Your choices for on-campus housing include a single, double, or triple room or a four-person suite in Goodwin-Kirk Hall or Jewett Hall. After your first two years on campus, you can request to live off campus in Greek housing, the student-only apartment complex, Drake West Village, or other apartments or houses in the neighborhood. 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). 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!
The singer recently rented out a newly built, 18,000-square-foot Beverly Hills abode worth $65 million for a few luxurious days and nights. Around the same time Drake purchased the Beverly Hills estate, he listed his previous Los Angeles digs — a trio of properties in guard-gated Hidden Hills for $22 million. Eventually, he sold two of the three properties to Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford for $11 million.
Drake’s decision to use artificial intelligence in a diss track is a polarizing development in this feud. Assuming that Akademiks is correct and Drake did in fact write and rap the first two verses himself (before applying AI Tupac and Snoop filters to his voice), it was a very clever chess move to use Kendrick’s idols against him. It further dramatizes an already theatrical beef, and it’s a way for Drake to try and remove potential disses from the board that Kendrick could’ve used against him. 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. “Taylor Made Freestyle” is the second diss track from Toronto rapper Drake in his beef with Compton rapper and pgLang co-founder Kendrick Lamar, which was largely ignited through the latter’s verse on Future & Metro Boomin’s March 2024 song “Like That”. In 2018, Drake threw down a little over $300k for additions that included an expansion of his already massive 1,695 square foot bedroom (adding an extra 98 feet), an addition to the maid’s room, and a kitchen upgrade.
Of particular note is the sprawling primary suite, which has its own deep private terrace overlooking the backyard, pool, and views. The ensuite bathroom has an entire living room, a massive closet, dressing room, vanity, and a grand marble soaking tub. This salon-like bathroom and closet area is bigger than most people’s homes or apartments. For this feature alone, it’s easy to see what makes the home so appealing.

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. Drake, whose full name is Aubrey Drake Graham, has released six studio albums and seven mixtapes since 2006. One of the bestselling modern artists, he’s sold more than 170 million records en route to four Grammy Awards and also founded the Toronto record label OVO Sound in 2012.
The space is 20,000 square feet, palatial by just about anyone’s standards though still less than half the size of the Grammy winner’s Toronto home. Inside, a wine cellar, gym, and game room can be found, along with a handy 11-car garage should Drake have a luxury vehicle collection that needs storing. It would be no surprise if the musician drastically renovated the 10 bedroom, 22 bathroom home, as he’s used to ultra-custom environs in his Canadian dwelling, which he built with architectural and interior designer Ferris Rafauli. The trophy mansion is nestled on three acres located high in the affluent hills above Benedict Canyon, accessed via gates and a very long driveway. Inside, the neutral-hued interiors are an entertainer’s daydream, with seven bedrooms and 13 bathrooms.
Beyond, the compound spans 20 acres of olive and oak trees, with stunning city and ocean views and a “hidden” orchard, according to the listing. There’s also a mosaic-tiled pool that is accompanied by a guesthouse, an outdoor kitchen, a full-size tennis court, and an 11-car garage. The crown jewel of the compound is the “Yolo Estate” — slang for “you only live once” — that Drake transformed into a party house during his stay. Rustic on the outside with Tudor-style flourishes, the home opens to 12,500 square feet of dramatic spaces with seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, six fireplaces, a wine cellar, tasting room, bar, recording studio and movie theater. Hidden behind a bookshelf, the primary suite alone covers 2,000 square feet and tacks on two marble tubs.
Trousdale Estates was developed in the 1950s and 60s for the crème de la crème of Beverly Hills society by real estate developer Paul Trousdale, with the fitting slogan, “life above it all”. Spread out on over 162 hectares (400 acres) at one of the highest points in Beverly Hills in the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains, Trousdale’s famous residents, past and current, include Elvis Presley, Katy Perry, Simon Cowell, Jennifer Aniston and Richard Nixon. There’s a guest house, outdoor kitchen, a “hidden” orchard and a guest house with a mosaic-tiled swimming pool, according to the listing. Elsewhere are seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms, including a 2,000-square-foot primary suite that’s hidden behind a bookshelf. 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.
