Drake Buys Neighbor’s House to Avoid Noise Complaints
In 2016, Drake, one of hip-hop’s major stars, came out on top when he decided to purchase his neighbor’s house in a surprising twist of fate that blurred the line between music and real life. The decision came after the release of his 2015 track ‘Where Ya At,’ where he was famously rapping.
“I’ll buy the neighbor’s house if they complain about the noise.” In true Drake fashion, he brought this boast to life, buying a property close to his infamous YOLO Estate in Hidden Hills, California for a cool $2.85 million.
Drake’s purchase was more than a flashy move. It was a savvy decision to secure his privacy and maintain the freedom to enjoy his extravagant lifestyle without worrying about noise complaints from the neighbors. Drake had more room to host parties, entertain guests, and enjoy his home studio sessions without worrying about disturbing his neighbors with the new property located adjacent to his primary $7.7 million estate.
The 4,445-square-foot ranch-style house built in 1955 is situated on almost two acres and blends modest charm with comfort. The home has four bedrooms and an open floor plan that makes it feel spacious and inviting. Although his YOLO Estate is more luxurious, this property still has a large pool, ample outdoor space, and a cozy, classic aesthetic that clashes with his modern, high-energy primary residence.
Drake’s YOLO Estate is well-known for its luxurious amenities, including an outdoor pool, a tennis court, and even a mechanical bull, which make it the ultimate entertainer’s paradise. The rapper’s new purchase prevented complaints from disrupting his high-energy home life, allowing him to fully enjoy his hard-earned luxuries. Drake’s actions not only protected his lifestyle but also created another layer of privacy.
Drake’s lyrics were transformed into real estate investments, compared to other artists who may mention buying multiple properties in their songs. His neighbor’s house is a testament to his ability to turn art into reality, a feat that represents both his wealth and his commitment to living life on his own terms. Today, the house that Drake bought continues to serve as an extension of his Hidden Hills sanctuary and an iconic symbol of his lifestyle and influence.
