Kanye West Teases Transforming $35M Beverly Hills Property Into A City

Yesterday, it was reported that Kanye West dropped a whopping $35 million on a luxurious mansion in Beverly Hills. According to a recent post, however, it might not stay that way for long. As news of the major purchase spread online, Ye took to his Instagram Story to show it off. In one image, he scribbled over the home and added the word DROAM, a self-sustaining city he announced plans for last December.

At the time, Ye said the city would span an impressive 100,000 acres, while his Beverly Hills property only covers around seven. Regardless, DROAM would certainly be a sight to see if he actually managed to pull it off. Size wouldn’t be the only difference from Ye’s initial DROAM layout, however. At first, it was going to be built somewhere in the Middle East.

Ye Hints At DROAM On His Instagram Story

Of course, like many things involving Ye, nothing is set in stone. It’s possible that he was just brainstorming, and still intends on carrying out his initial plans for DROAM. With that being said, he just took a major financial hit, so it may have to wait a bit longer. Last month, he sold his Malibu mansion for $21 million. Just three years ago, he purchased it for $57.3 million, meaning he lost a staggering $36 million. He gutted that property too with alleged intentions of turning it into a bomb shelter, but ultimately, that never came to fruition.

Belwood Investments CEO Bo Belmont, who purchased the Malibu property from Ye, even slammed the changes the Chicago artist made to the home. “That was a really d*mb move. Really no purpose… He single-handedly destroyed [it]… My goal is to make it as though Kanye was never there,” Belmont told The Los Angeles Times in September. What do you think of Kanye West hinting at gutting his extravagant Beverly Hills mansion to turn it into DROAM? Do you think he should or not?

King Combs & Raven Tracy Spark Pregnancy Rumors With Home Purchase

It’s been an undoubtedly hectic year for Diddy’s son, Christian “King” Combs. Amid his father’s various lawsuits, the 26-year-old has been hard at work on new music, beefed with 50 Cent, and dealt with some legal issues of his own. Now, it looks like he’s also taken a major stride in his personal life. Earlier this week, King’s girlfriend Raven Tracy took to Instagram to reveal why she’s been noticeably absent from social media lately. She shared that she and King just purchased their home together, sharing a sweet clip of the two of them showing it off.

“Pregnancy announcement coming soon,” one Instagram user writes. “She’s prob prego. Congrats to the couple,” someone else says.

Obviously, at the time of writing, this is all purely speculation. Regardless, some social media users are completely convinced.

This wouldn’t be the first pregnancy announcement social media users have gotten in recent weeks either.

Drake Unveils His New $15M Texas Ranch In Stunning Photos

Drake is really entering a new phase of his life. His battle with Kendrick Lamar is over, as far as we can tell, and he’s dedicated himself to “summer vibes.” He’s dropped a baffling cover of “Hey There Delilah” and a Sexyy Red duet. Drake’s latest decision, however, may be his most significant. The Toronto rapper has decided to purchase a sprawling, $15 million ranch in Washington County, Texas. He announced the purchase in May, but he finally unveiled the ranch on his Instagram on June 12.

Drake’s photoshoot is moody as one would expect from the king of captions. There’s photos of him outside the ranch, which is called the Inn at Dos Brisas, and photos of him inside. Fans get a peek at Drake’s horses, as well as the stables in which they’re kept. They also get to see him look forlorn and contemplative inside his vehicle. The caption simply reads: “wick ’em.” It’s unclear what this means in the context of the Inn at Dos Brisas. It does, however, harken back to Drake’s 2023 song “Wick Man,” which throws subs at several other rappers. The song also sees the 6 God make reference to several international locations.

Drake Has Settled Down In The Lone Star State

Drake has been hyping up his Texas purchase for months. In September 2023, the rapper posted a video in which he announced his plans to buy property. He even adopted a Texas accent for the bit. “Me and my partna’, we done gone country on y’all,” he told fans. “We said we was gonna do it for a lot of years and we’re doing it today. The sale is made. We gotta drop a new one for this. If you see your girl at the ‘Lover Boy Lane,’ it’s over.” ‘Lover Boy Lane’ is, of course, a reference to Drizzy’s album Certified Lover Boy. Fittingly, the album contains the song “TSU,” which is an abbreviation for Texas State University.

Drake has always had a soft spot for Texas. One of his breakout songs mentions Houston in its title, “Houstatlantavegas.” The rapper has paid tribute to H-Town on “November 18th” by sampling a DJ Screw record and shouting out regional legends. There’s also the iconic “9AM In Dallas,” the planned opener for his debut album. It kickstarted the timestamp series that Drake is still riding out to this day.

Drake Purchases $15M Texas Ranch After Kendrick Lamar Feud

Things may not have worked out in Drake’s favor amid his viral feud with Kendrick Lamar, but evidently, the Toronto-born performer still has a lot of great things going for him. Recently, for example, it was revealed that he dropped $15M on a massive ranch in Brenham, TX. According to its listing agent Tonya Currie, it’s a rare find, and Drizzy was lucky to come across it at the right time. “Dos Brisas is a rare legacy ranch property that offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the right buyer, which we were able to find once we listed it bringing the price in line with the market conditions at the time,” she told CultureMap Dallas.

This isn’t the first time fans of heard of Drake moving down south, however. Back in October of 2023, the hitmaker shared the exciting news with a crowd at the Toyota Center. “I had to make it official first, but I’ve been looking for a long time, trying to figure out the right place for me to live, where I belong outside of Toronto,” he explained. “And I finally, finally after all these years, I found me a place in Houston, Texas. So y’all will be seeing me around.”

The 313-acre ranch was originally built in 2000 as a family retreat and was transformed into a resort this year. While it’s unclear exactly when Drake plans to move in, some fans suspect that he might be better off doing it sooner rather than later. Following his explosive lyrical battle with Kendrick, multiple people showed up at his mansion in the Bridle Path neighborhood of Toronto.

A shooting also took place near the performer’s home this month, leaving one of his security guards seriously injured.

Hit-Boy Purchases Home He Previously Lost Due To Financial Struggles

Recently, Hit-Boy took to social media to show off how his hard work has paid off. In a new clip, the performer is seen sitting around a table alongside various other, working on designing his new home. While his “dream estate” is certainly impressive, it’s even more impressive that he can now afford to buy it, when at one point he couldn’t even afford to rent it.

“Some of y’all might remember when i went on akademiks podcast and talked about falling on hard times back around 2017,” he captioned the clip. “Crzy how life works i just bought the property in beverly hills i was renting then and couldn’t afford at the time and now im designing my dream estate on it. [praying hands emoji] stay focused stay motivated keep going.”

“Inspiration on top of inspiration,” he added. Plenty of Hit-Boy’s fans and peers are sounding off in his comments section, praising him for how far he’s come.
“Yea!!!” Ty Dolla Sign wrote alongside various fire emojis. 2 Chainz also chimed in, calling the major accomplishment “hard.” Clearly, Hit-Boy couldn’t be more proud of himself, and followers can’t blame him.

Hit-Boy’s new home isn’t the only thing he has to be proud of these days, however. At the end of last month, he dropped off a new collaboration alongside Rapsody, “Asteroids.” The fittingly-titled track centers around dodging hate and disrespect, and coming out on the other side knowing one’s own worth. It was also recently revealed that he’s nominated for a Grammy. He’s in the running for Producer Of The Year alongside Jack Antonoff, Metro Boomin, Dernst “D’Mile” Emile II, and Daniel Nigro.

Eminem’s Ex-Wife Received $615K Loan From Rapper’s Company For New House

Kim Mathers, the ex-wife of Eminem, reportedly received a loan of $600,000 from the rapper to buy a new home. According to property documents obtained by The Sun US, Mathers received a loan of $615,000 from Shady Games Inc., which is owned and founded by Eminem. Mathers used the money to purchase a four-bedroom home in Macomb, Michigan. She received the loan in December 2022 as she prepared to move out of the custom mansion bought for her by Eminem some years ago. Mathers sold that home for $1.35 million in March 2023.

The move shows the progress that the exes have made since their rocky marriage in the late 90s and early 2000s. Over the past few years, Eminem has attempted to make amends for his behavior in a number of ways. While this has included traditional reconciliation methods, Eminem also expressed his regret in his 2017 song “Bad Husband”. The pair are reportedly set to see each other at their daughter’s upcoming wedding.

Record Label Wanted Mark Wahlberg To Replicate Eminem

However, a loan to his ex-wife is not the only headline the Detroit rapper has been involved in this week. In a recent interview, Mark Wahlberg revealed that he quit the music industry because his record label wanted him to emulate Eminem. “They continued to push me further in the opposite direction, that’s when I decided not to make another record and to wait out my contract. Could I have been Eminem? I certainly hope not. I like Eminem, I think Eminem’s really talented, but I’m trying to go a completely different route.” Wahlberg had had a #1 single in “Good Vibrations” as part of Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. However, Interscope wanted Wahlberg to replicate the aggressive style and subject matter of the Detroit rapper.

Furthermore, Wahlberg wanted to avoid such a path given where his life was at the time. Wahlberg’s attempt to break into the music biz came after a brief stay in prison. In the late 80s, Wahlberg had been sentenced for the violent assault of two Vietnamese men. At the time, Wahlberg claimed that he had been under the influence of PCP when the crimes occurred. However, it’s not the only link between Eminem and Wahlberg. According to an interview earlier this year, Eminem was the first choice for the role in The Fighter that would eventually go to Wahlberg.

Kim Kardashian Over The Moon About Her $70 Million Malibu Home

Kim Kardashian is an extremely rich person. Overall, her wealth is beyond what a lot of people could possibly imagine. Although she has certainly gone through her fair share of personal turmoil, there is no doubt that she has quite a bit to fall back on. Whenever a new episode of The Kardashians airs on Hulu, we get yet another glimpse at the kind of wealth she possesses. For the most part, it is beyond what the average person could even fathom.

For the vast majority of her life, Kim Kardashian has lived in Los Angeles. This is where her reality show has largely taken place, and it is what fans are used to. However, that doesn’t mean she hasn’t been willing to change things up over the years. In fact, on the latest episode of The Kardashians, Kim got to flex her brand new home in Malibu. This place cost a whopping $70 million, and by the looks of things, there is a good reason for the hefty price tag.

Kim Kardashian And Her New House

“This has been a dream of mine forever, and it’s just one of those pinch me moments where I can’t believe I achieved a goal that I really didn’t think was realistic,” Kim Kardashian explained on the show. As she was saying, this place is actually going to serve as a party home of sorts. Although we imagine Kim and her kids will be spending lots of time here. After all, Malibu is a beautiful place and this home is expansive and full of options for activities.

Housing prices these days can be pretty wild. In California especially, property prices have skyrocketed in recent years. Even basic homes are now unaffordable for the average person. Although, for someone like Kim K, this has never been an issue. If anything, this will just make people feel as though we need more policies to make houses less expensive. That way, people wouldn’t feel like they are up to their necks in water.

Future Splurges On $7.5M Bentley-Branded Condo

Future is celebrating yet another dominant year as one of the hottest rappers in the game. His latest splurge comes in the form of dropping a $7.5 million bag. The money was spent on a new pad – and it’s Bentley-branded, of course.

King Pluto is allegedly in contract talks to purchase the beachside apartment in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida. The unit is part of the up-scale Bentley Residence from Gil Dezer, who is the CEO of Dezer Development.

The 62-story building will be home to 216 units and is set to be completed in 2027. The laundry list of amenities ensures residents that there’s no reason to leave while they’re home. Complete with a three-story lobby with ocean views, a gym, spa, pool, and a whiskey bar, the place is definitely any man’s dream.

Additionally, it comes with a 14-seater movie theater, a cigar lounge and a games room. Clearly, it’s got everything you need.

Of course the “Stick Talk” rapper’s unit is one of the most extravagant in the futuristic building. It features three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, sprawling over 6,000 square feet.

His new home also includes a private pool located on the terrace and a 1,500-square-foot, four-car sky garage that he won’t even need to drive up to his unit.

“The Dezervator [a patented elevator] takes you and your car straight to your unit — you can see the cars from your living room, thanks to a glass divider from the garage,” says Dezer.

The big purchase caps off another busy year for the 39-year old rapper. Previously, he dropped his ninth studio album, I NEVER LIKED YOU back in April. Featuring the hits “WAIT FOR U” and “PUFFIN ON ZOOTIEZ,” it went on to receive a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album.

The toxicity-inspired project went on to receive gold status, selling over 500,000 units in the U.S. just a month after its release. 2022 also found him being appropriately crowned one of “the best rappers alive” by GQ.

Future Hendrix is fresh off of making four appearances on Metro Boomin’s newly released sophomore album, HEROES & VILLAINS. There are no signs of him slowing down.
