In these videos we don't reveal any addresses and even though I've done a house tour of my own place please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. Being one of the wealthiest icons in hip hop it's no surprise Dr. Dre owns over 80 million dollars worth of alley real estate. Amidst his divorce he's been selling some of his homes including his woodland hills mansion but he still has three luxe paths to choose from. Dr. Dre owns a Calabasas crib, a spawned pacific palisades and of course his humongous palace in frontwood. We're going to check these homes out and we even found the listing. Dr. Dre is a rapper, record producer, businessman and more who's one of the richest figures in hip hop. Having amassed an estimated net worth of 820 million dollars or more. While Dr. Dre may have offloaded his woodland hills home he has three other california estates to stay at one of which being his home in Calabasas where it's thought he's shacking up currently. In 2018 Dr. Dre dropped 4.9 million dollars on a sprawling home in the lavish neighborhood of Calabasas California. While we can assume he's updated the home since moving in he purchased the place listing photos show the interiors were slightly basic and underwhelming. That being said the home had a lot of potential and boasts plenty of space about 9,300 square feet with six bedrooms and seven baths throughout. The home is nestled in the exclusive mountain view estates community a quiet street and overlooks views of the rolling hills. Privacy was definitely one of the selling points for this property and it's well isolated from other neighbors too. The grounds are lushly landscaped with grassy lawns, mature trees and add-ons like a limestone fountain. The home was built in 1997 and at the time of Dr. Dre's purchase he'd custom details like stone floors, iron and glass front doors and more. It's certainly a classic McMansion from that era with a cream colored exterior and terracotta roof not to mention some white columns out front. Dr. Dre's garage has room for up to eight vehicles and it's an ideal spot to store his fancy cars like Bentley's and Rolls Royce's. Stepping inside Dr. Dre's Calabasas mansion and it's easy to see the foyer was signed to impress him. There's a cascading staircase with soaring double height ceilings and a chandelier while the entry opened into a formal dining room. The high ceilings continue into this space there are also big windows to look out onto the ground. Also on the main floor there's a top of the line kitchen with massive stainless steel refrigerators and Eden Island and its own casual breakfast notes. Most of the main living spaces have vaulted ceilings while the family room has a fireplace, entertainment wall with surround sound and more. While the home is certainly stunning at the time of purchase the interior design was a bit too late 90s in style so let's hope Dr. Dre modernized things a little bit since. Where there was a unique home theater designed by Theo Calamiracas especially engineered reporting studio as well as a games room. It's no doubt that the quirky theater and games room would be fun for kids but there are also some other grown up friendly amenities at Dre's home. There's a full mirror gym for when you're feeling motivated and when you'd rather relax you can retreat to the master suite which boasts it in all beige bathroom. Aside from the odd interior touches in many of the rooms we can assume that Dr. Dre had fitted the Calabasas crib with a more stylish design. The grounds of the property are pretty spectacular as well and offer amazing views of the mountain. There's something for everyone back here from a tennis court to a freeform swimming pool and spa as well as a barbecue and grilling area. The lot is one of the biggest and most private in the gated community spanning three quarters of an acre and it's complete with a fountain cozy fire pit area overlooking the views and surrounded by mature palm trees. Of course that's not all for Dr. Dre's real estate portfolio. In 2019 the hip hop icon dropped 2.25 million dollars on a home in the coveted Pacific Palisades community which is a sleek and modern Mediterranean style of boat. As you may have guessed it's in a high end and gated community to provide sought after privacy as well. The property is situated on a ridge so much like his Calabasas property there are stunning panoramic mountain and ocean views from every angle. Originally built in 1997 Dre's Palisades abode has underwent a full modern update bringing in a moody gray color scheme, some wide plank dark oak flooring as well as contemporary fixtures. Inside 3,100 square feet of living space are fitted with four bedrooms and four bathrooms over to love. Walking in visitors are welcomed through double doors right into a formal living room and matching dining room. The open concept layout progresses and opens to a large combined space where there's a sparkling kitchen with quartz topped eyelid. Dre's kitchen here offers custom white cabinets, stainless steel appliances and a breakfast milk dining area. Not to mention there are views of the hills and oceans from here and doors out to the terrace making this the heart of the home. The main living spaces all appear to be light and bright in the family room both to cozy fireplaces while space to unwind. Dre's master suite here is made up of a separate sitting room with its own fireplace as well as a private balcony with picture perfect view. Not to mention there's a hammock set up here out on the balcony. Master treat is rounded off with a luxury attached bath with jetted spot tub. Oh back through glass sliders on the main floor there are terraces with space to entertain as well as not one but two fire pits. Residents of the gated community also receive a summit club membership that allows you to utilize the pool, spa, sports court, gym, tennis courts, playgrounds, private park and much more. All of this is only steps away from Palisade Village as well as the beach. Before we end this house tour we can't forget Dr Dre's mega palace which has served as his main estate for years. This massive home was custom built from the ground up and designed by architect Richard Landry costing an estimated 20 million to construct aside from a cost of the land. Dre paid 40 million dollars for the home and it's located in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles a peaceful and posh neighborhood on the west side. The mansion was built to resemble a French country chateau offering features like cobblestone pathways outside and architecture to give it a bit of a European vibe. The exterior is clad in limestone with reclaimed beam ceilings inside, salvaged tile and antique door. Inside it spans 18,000 square feet of space not including his more recent extension to the place and there are eight beds and nine baths throughout. Rooms are spread out among two full wings and upon walking in there's a double height entryway with stunning marble flooring as well as a giant chandelier. This marble theme continues through to the spacious chef's kitchen. Nearby spaces include a center hall, great room, dining room, family room and seven fireplaces not to mention the whole house has super high ceilings and a lot of natural life flooding in. The mother features inside Dre's mansion include a wine cellar, library, media room, fully equipped gym, sauna, covered terraces and six car garage. Each room has been furnished and decorated to perfection boasting intricate details and more while the mogul's master suite has a custom chandelier, huge walking closet, balcony and more. Out on the grounds there's a koi pond, waterfall and even a moat complete with a bridge which makes the home feel something like a castle. Out back you'll find the massive infinity pool and spa with full pool deck and cabana which is a staple for any property like this. Palace also claims to be eco-friendly with grounds irrigated by a grey water system while electricity is supplied via solar panel. The home also has environmentally friendly heating and cooling system. In 2017 Dr. Dre gave a tour of this home. It was clear the mansion was undergoing a huge renovation. Apparently he added a 10,000 square foot recording studio and music facility underneath the home too. Alright so that's all I got on Dr. Dre's homes and as you can see he has some pretty luxurious real estate. While he may be offloading some of his properties due to his divorce he clearly has a few to choose from. So it's been said he's shacking up at his Calabasas crib at the moment but if it were you which of the three homes would you stay at? The Brentwood mansion may be a little bit too big if we're being honest but I love the style of that home the best especially the French Chateau aesthetic. It's a lot of things in our neighborhood that can turn you left or right and you just have to be committed to stand on the right path because it so easily can steer you wrong. Ice Cube has been pretty active on social media lately taking to Instagram and Twitter to stand up against matters like police brutality and racism with all the chaos going on right now. Although the rapper has always been online he's usually showing off his sense of humor. Lavender body wash make my pores tingle. If you've been wondering where Ice Cube spends most of his time these days well when he's at home that is we've got you covered. Officially on the internet what the hell what's going on man? Why you got to get me over the nipple?  Apparently it's two California mansions one in Encino and one in Marina del Rey. O'Shea Jackson who we all know as Ice Cube is a rapper, actor and filmmaker. His lyrics on NWA's 1988 album straight out of Compton led to the outbreak of gangster rap and his solo albums in the early 90s rank high in political rap. Of course alongside EZ and Dr. Dre and the rap group NWA he found fame and for that Ice Cube is considered a rap pioneer. Considering their early music which Ice wrote most of the lyrics no less was one of the first to push boundaries. It's no surprise that his public voice is still super outspoken. Street knowledge is a term to me. It means letting the streets know what the government, politics, police, whatever authority figures are are doing up to exposing them and also letting who if the politicians are listening letting them know what the streets think and how things are going and hopefully there's some understanding that could be made in all this. The versatile rapper would then shape himself into a movie star with boys in the hood in Friday and even went on to direct some. Of course you all know the rest of Ice Cube's resume like his roles in comedy and producing straight out of Compton so I think we can agree he's kept busy over the years. Of course the rap legend who's 50 at the time of this recording has amassed quite the fortune. Ice Cube's estimated net worth stands at about $160 million so of course he's living a life of luxury. First off we know that Ice Cube has owned a longtime family home with his wife Kimberly Woodruff which they bought back in June 1996. This house they managed to keep notoriously private at least the interior that is. It wasn't always like that though pre-internet and social media days this mansion didn't in fact get broken in two. It was back in 1997 and apparently the couple hadn't even fully moved in yet but MTV reported that two gunmen broke into an Encino California home owned by rapper Ice Cube early Thursday and lifted electronics gear and a van. I guess after that incident Ice Cube didn't want anyone knowing what his home was like. Anyways what we do know about their longtime family mansion is that it's located in Encino and they purchased the valley home for just over $2.3 million but these days it would be valued closer to $5 million. It's nestled between several other mansions and set far off the street with a long and winding driveway. From the aerial view we can see the largest state has a main house as well as a detached guest house on the property. We also know that Ice Cube's Encino mansion spans 7,880 square feet and has 7 beds and 7 baths. Also on his property there's a large pool and spa, a grassy lawn, a ton of patio spate and a full-size basketball court. So we know that Encino home is where Ice Cube has spent most of his time and it doesn't look like the family's thinking of unloading that property anytime soon. More recently though in 2016 it was reported that the rapper bought a new mega mansion on a canal from the action star Jean-Claude Fendham best known for Bloodsport and Street Fighter. Ice Cube's beautiful mansion is located in Marina del Rey, a small beachside community in Los Angeles. It's close to Venice Beach and the port here is North America's largest man made harbor home to 5,000 boats or more. The modern home was built in 2011 right on the banks of the Grand Canal which is definitely one of its selling points right in the Ritzian exclusive silver string community. It's at the Ravrabax 7.25 million giving Van Damme a nice profit considering he only spent 6 million. Ice Cube said when he bought the place that it was just to host parties saying you know this right here is for the homies everybody can come over and hang out you know enjoy the whole house. I'm not sure if that's still the case now but it was supposed to be a little getaway home. I guess leaving the Encino house for the fan. Despite wanting a second mansion to have his buddies over he said he loves living with his family. That's cool being famous it's cool doing movies and records and all living out your dreams but if I had to do it alone it wouldn't you know I don't think you'd see the man that you see right here right now so to have their support in this journey it just makes me better and it's my finest accomplishment. But let's see what this Marina del Rey mansion looks like. Inside Ice Cube's mansion spans 7,574 square feet of living space with 6 beds and 11 baths. It's referred to as a trophy property and it's a modern style home with important materials throughout. Although it's not in a super secluded spot like Ice Cube's main family home it's right on the water and even offers views to the ocean. A glass enclosed staircase and an elevator connect the three story home and there are 13 rooms in total. The main living areas in the rapper's waterfront home have a signature indoor outdoor California vibe since they merge into a huge deck terrace that overlooks the harbor. There's a professional grade chef's kitchen with a breakfast bar, a formal dining room, a space to entertain as well as a roomy home office with buildings. Not to mention a cozy and more formal living room with fireplace and second family room with a full bar. Other features of Ice Cube's Marina del Rey mansion include a full home movie theater, a gym, and even a poor concrete and glass wine cellar. There are six fireplaces total in the mansion including one in the master suite and even one in one of the spacious bathrooms beside the tub. Most of the six ensuite bedrooms are located upstairs and Ice Cube's master suite here is obviously the biggest with an attached spa like bath and walk-in. Pocket doors off each level of the home open to terraces overlooking the canal. One of the decks we can see in the listing photos comes equipped with space to lounge, a built-in TV, as well as a fireplace. If you don't want to go to the beach area and prefer no sand, you can head up to the rapper's rooftop deck with swimming pool. Of course you'll also get even better views from here, a 360 of Marina del Rey including the city and the ocean. So clearly we've seen more of this Marina del Rey mansion than Ice Cube's longtime and Sino home but we know he still owns both of these properties. Before I wrap up this video let's take a look at something else Ice Cube has on his property, his cart collection. The rapper has said about his outlook on cars that a lot of people will spend more on their car than they would on their house. It starts with sneakers, then maybe bikes and then cars.  But he also explained that he likes to look of a car more than the other features. He isn't one of those people who goes in and changes things like the exhaust. He just buys them how he wants them. And it seems that Ice Cube likes his cars to be fast and luxurious. In his collection he has a Rolls Royce Ghost and he says there's nothing like the feeling one of those gives you. He has a couple of Bentley's including an Arnaj and a flying sperm auto for his wife, a Porsche Panamera and a Cadillac Escalade for when he needs something bigger. Ice also has one of the newer Corvette Stingrays which he really likes. I'm not sure if he has more top-of-the-line cars in his collection but it's clear they're all a far cry from his first car which was a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle. Way back in 2012 rapper Nas was dealing with mountains of tax debt also losing his Georgia estate in the process. These days things are looking up for Nas and aside from winning his first ever Grammy earlier this year he also picked up a massive 3.5 million dollar mansion in the outskirts of Calabasas, California to call home. In this video we'll check out the hip-hop artist's brand new Mediterranean style custom-built home as well as his one-time abode he lost to foreclosure back in the day. Nasir Nas Jones is a rapper, songwriter and entrepreneur best known for being part of the New York hip-hop scene and regarded as one of the most influential rappers of all time. Since 1994 Nas has released 14 studio albums seven of which are certified platinum. While Nas lost his Georgia home to a highly publicized foreclosure in 2012 those days are long behind him and as of 2021 the rapper's net worth is at roughly 70 million dollars. Aside from his music career Nas was also smart with his investments into companies like Ring the virtual doorbell company Amazon purchased for 1.1 billion dollars. He has further banked money from his touring, streaming and having his own record label owning a Fila sneaker store and more. Way back in 2012 Nas allegedly was having issues with tax debt and lost his Georgia estate to a super publicized foreclosure. According to records the rapper bought this home back in 2004 for 585K but SunTrust Bank who issued Nas the loan said he couldn't foot the bill and defaulted on the payments. When the bank took the property back and sold it to the highest bidder the home only went for about 348K a steal for the new owner. When the bank took the property back and sold it to the highest bidder the home only went for about 348K a steal for the new owner. Located down south in the town of McDonough Georgia Nas's former home was built in 1999 and boasted over 3,500 square feet of living space inside. There is a grand entry with double height ceilings and large living spaces throughout along with two bedrooms, three full baths and two half baths. There was a formal living room which was definitely decorated for the times including a stately white fireplace, bold walls painted in reddish hues and flanked with columns. The kitchen was quite dated too but I'm sure it had been renovated since and it has a large center island with range as well as a nearby breakfast nook. Other features included a custom home theater, a games room decked out with all the fun activities you can imagine and a fitness center. Out back Nas's former Georgia mansion also had a swimming pool and spa which was installed in 2003. It looked like the perfect setup to entertain. In 2005 Nas married rap songstress Kelis Rogers in Atlanta. However in 2007 the couple bought a home in Los Angeles for 1.6 million dollars. We don't know about the rapper's one-time residence here but we do know it was built in 1947 and offered over 3,200 square feet of space with four beds and three baths. We also know compared to this place his latest home is a definite upgrade. These days things seem to be looking up for the iconic hip-hop star. Not only did Nas win his first ever Grammy this year for the rap album King's Disease, he also got the keys to his new sprawling mansion in a semi-ruel Calabasas outskirts. Located in an exclusive community just outside the well-known Calabasas, California, Nas paid 3.5 million dollars for his new crib and it sits on a huge lot of over 10 acres looking like quite the oasis. Walking up to the home the exterior is slightly boxy and modern and records claim the estate was custom built in 2007. It boasts a Mediterranean meets Southwestern style in its architecture and inside has 6,526 square feet of space with four bedrooms and 5.5 baths throughout. Sounds like the nicest home Nas has owned over the years, at least that of those we know of. The house was originally listed for 2.5 million dollars but with all the luxury features, land size and more it attracted a bidding war, one which the rapper came out on top. His mansion sits beyond a long driveway and is of course protected by gates and sufficient security cameras for privacy. It's secluded and it boasts surrounding views of a mountain vistas. The multi-level home greets guests with a double height entryway and wrought iron staircase along with polished marble floors and plush carpeted stairs. The main floors highlight has got to be the living room with fireplace built in bookshelves and walls of glass sliders opening to a terrace. This living room is super cozy to say the least and the full walls of bookshelves create a very nice mood. Nearby there's a gourmet kitchen that has wooden cabinets, a center island with plenty of space to food prep, fancy viking appliances and granite counters. There's also a separate breakfast room and a butler's pantry with extra beverage fridge so it's safe to say this space is decked out. While all of that is nice and impressive, this floor also has a family room with another fireplace and a flat screen TV and elsewhere, a sunny home office where the rapper can sign some business deals. Nas's Calabasas mansion also has stand-out features like a spacious wine cellar with tasting area and a games room with billiards table and a wet bar. Moving to the rapper's upscale master retreat, it comes fit for a king too.  The sleeping quarters in the private sitting room are full of light thanks to the chic windows and glass doors. There's also dual walking closets and a luxe spa style bath with steam shower and jetted bathtub. If that's not enough, Nas can grab a workout at the separate home gym. To complete his new estate, the grounds are equally stunning. Outdoors, there's an alfresco dining patio which boasts a built-in barbecue and plenty of terrace space to soak up the sun. And that is not even the feature back here. There's an amazing grotto-style pool with a spa, waterfall and water slide which I really hope will be put to good use on those hot California days. To top the mansion off, literally and figuratively, Nas's home boasts a rooftop deck with picture-perfect views. Well that's all I got for the homes of Nas, so I think that concludes this house tour. We saw how far the rapper has come since his Georgia property. He lost the foreclosure back in 2012 to his current mega-upgrade in Calabasas. He may have had to let go of his former home way back when but the silver lining is that his new crib is way nicer. Out of all the rooms and amenities in his new place, what did you like best? What did you think about the style of the home? I think it looks like a sunny paradise and it's totally unique. Not to mention I'm obsessed with his pool and grotto complex. So Missy Elliott and of course this is my crib. Missy Elliott is a four-time Grammy award-winning rapper, producer and songwriter who became the first female rapper to ever be inducted in the Songwriters Hall of Fame late last year. Of course, with her successful career, she's also been able to buy some gorgeous properties. We'll look at where Missy has called home over the years, including a mansion in Virginia and a luxury condo down south. In these videos, we don't reveal any addresses and even though I've done a house tour of my own place, please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. Missy's music has always pushed boundaries within the industry and she's released some of the biggest songs of all time like Get Your Freak On, Lose, Control and Work It. Missy is a paragon for success where many other artists ultimately struggle and fade away into obscurity over the years. Missy is a different sort. Even after over two decades in the industry, she's still highly regarded as one of the OGs selling over 30 million records in the US and making her of course to be reckoned with with an estimated net worth of close to 50 million dollars. Missy Elliott has always defined herself with her unique one-of-a-kind personality so it only makes sense that she's found a series of homes to live in that compliment who she is. For instance, there's a gorgeous condo that she once owned down in Florida that even appeared on MTV Cribs and a gigantic mansion in her home state of Virginia that she bought for her mother and where Missy spends a fair share of her own time. Let's start things off with one of Missy Elliott's former properties, an unbelievable condo she once owned in Aventura, Florida. Missy first purchased the home back in 2002 for 1.3 million right around the same time she released the track, Work It. I see what she did there. Hey, when you're feeling yourself, you're feeling yourself. What can I say?  Okay, well if that's just what the doors look like, I can't wait to see what the room itself is like. I'm sorry, I'm just having trouble picking my jaw up off the floor. That bed is insane. Although I gotta say, I really hope that front hood pivots another few degrees, or Missy's gonna break her neck trying to watch that TV. Everybody bathroom is the same, same toilet is the same thing, cozy tub. That's a pretty beautiful marble bathroom if you ask me. In fact, the entire place features marble flooring throughout, along with four terraces that offer up amazing panoramic views of the city through Florida's ceiling glass walls. Then there's the living room with its Lamborghini furniture. You heard that right. Missy not only got Ferrari to make her a bed, she got Lambo to whip her up some couches. Now, this is my favorite chair. And yes, that chair did feature a fish aquarium for arm rests. The home also has a media room, which Missy uses for her work memorabilia almost as much as she uses for her free time. Finally, there's a fantastic kitchen with a center island big enough to eat at, not to mention some snazzy flat fronted wood cabinets and the type of high-grade appliances that one expects inside the home of a celebrity. What's less expected is the overall quality of food that Missy keeps. And y'all can see how a poor person lives. That's how a poor person lives right there. I'm right there with you, Missy.  In terms of what type of amenities the building offers, well, it's 32 floors with 172 units, 24-7 valets, concierge, and security services. There are three onsite restaurants, a 27,000 square foot spa facility, a private marina and yacht club, 16 tennis courts, and a heated pool and spa area. Sounds like enough, I thought so. Despite how unbashedly Missy this place is, Missy actually sold this home a few years ago back in 2014 for 1.45 million after initially listing it for almost 2 million.  Customization is nice while you're living in a place, but it sucks for Riso value. Alright, let's take a look at Missy's home in New Jersey next. This is going to be a quick one. Besides the view of what this estate looks like from the sky, not a whole lot is known about the 6,300 square foot property. What I can tell you about it is that this home is extremely well secluded. I mean, just look at that satellite photo. The home is surrounded on all sides by very dense forests. In fact, it's so dense, I'm honestly getting a spooky vibe from this property. Seriously, even I wouldn't want to spend a night there alone. I mean, the acreage itself is massive, coming in at 8 acres total, but that's just too much space to be by yourself in if you ask me. Missy reportedly picked up this home in October of 2000 for close to 1.2 million. Finally, let's take a look at Missy's current primary residence in the home that she bought for her mother, a gorgeous 14,223 square foot estate that features 25 rooms total. Right through the front door is an impressive void that has smooth marble floors and comfortable looking furniture to collapse in after a hard day's work. Much like her Florida condo, Missy has made sure that anyone who enters this place immediately knows who it belongs to. Let's just hope that doesn't hurt the resale value as much as that last sculpture did. Not too far away from the entrance to the home is Missy's office where she says her mother handles all of her business. Definitely the desk of a boss. In addition to the beautiful office, Missy also keeps a conference room nearby where she displays a lot of the souvenirs she's collected over the years that spelled the story of her career. Next up is a room that Missy claims she never spends a lot of time in, at least not back when this video was recorded. The gym. From the room where Missy spends the least amount of her time to the room that she probably enjoys the most. Let's take a look at Missy Elliott's ballroom next. It practically screams class with its off-white finishing. Then there's the classic baby grand piano that ties the entire room together. Just make sure you don't eat the food in there unless Missy tells you it's safe to do so.  As nice as that ballroom is, it doesn't hold a candle to this one that is Missy Elliott's indoor swimming pool. This watering hole is gigantic and features classically sculpted Greek statues adorning the poolside that really give this room a Mediterranean vibe. Despite being located smack dab in the heart of Virginia. As for why she got herself an indoor pool and not one outside, I'll let Missy tell you. Missy's kitchen is our next stop. It's a pretty timeless design with a lengthy marble countertop, gorgeous wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a medium-sized centralized island. And much like with her condo in Florida, opening Missy's fridge is always a favorite adventure.  On the other side of that fish tank is the living room with beautiful hardwood floors, glass doors that lead to the outside, and uniquely shaped furniture to say the least. A quick ride upstairs on Missy's private elevator takes you to her equally private screening room. As I've already mentioned, Missy shares this home with her mom and here's a look at her bedroom. It's a pretty timeless room with a fireplace installed in the middle of a wall that separates the sleeping area from the en suite bathroom. Speaking of bedrooms, Missy's own room matches her mother's pretty closely, but of course it has its own unique touches, like a Versace bedspread. Finally the last room we're going to take a look at is Missy's self-titled nasty room, a mirrored wall sitting area where she can be alone with her. Well, let's call them guests. I don't know what I love more about that clip, that Missy has her own hookup room and the house she shares with her mom, or that she called her potential suitor's minuteness. Stuff like that is why Missy will always be considered one of the real ones. Rapper DMX Bro Code in the late 90s is one of hip hop's most unique and singular performers. But after a career that would span seven studio albums and numerous appearances in some big-time Hollywood productions, DMX would pass away at the age of only 50 after suffering a fatal heart attack from complications related to drug overdose. In this video, we're going to take a look back at when DMX was still with us and more specifically at some of the properties he once called home. As difficult as the news of his passing was to process for the millions of his fans all over the world, the truth is that life had always been something of a struggle for the man once known as Earl Simmons. Not only did he spend his childhood in multiple New York City public housing centers, but even after finding success in earning millions, DMX would continue to plagued the superstars he moved from one city to another, from the streets of a New Jersey rental to a failed investment property in Harlem, New York. He even once purchased a summer home in Arizona that was sold at a hundred thousand dollar loss. Even at the tail end of his life, he was trying to move off of the one property he still owned, a one million dollar home located in Mount Pisco, New York. These repeated foreclosures for sales and major investment losses are just a taste of what's to come on this house tour. Let's circle back to the beginning of DMX's journey and then make our way forward. When DMX was a child, he spent a lot of time living in public housing development, be it Mullford Gardens or Clacagno Homes in his hometown of Yonkers, New York. Once he'd gone on to become a world-famous rapper, DMX would honor these public housing developments that played a large part in raising him by featuring them in many of his early music videos. This includes the classic Aliyah collab called Come Back in One Piece. He'd also never forget the five crucial years he spent living on and off at the Children's Village Group home, located in Dobbs Ferry, New York. It was while living here that DMX became determined to change his life around by becoming a hip hop legend. Later in life, he'd pay his respects to this crucial part of his past by making regular visits as an adult to inspire the kids that now called Children's Village home. Once DMX had begun to establish himself as a force in the music industry, he picked up a small three bedroom, one and a half bathroom home in the quiet town of Teaneck, New Jersey. At the time, the rapper was living with his then wife to share a cement. And for a little while at least, things couldn't have been any better. But then, in the early 2000s, DMX was hit with animal cruelty charges after police found out that he had been mistreating the 10 people that had been sharing this two-story colonial home along with him and his wife. Couple that with multiple reports of illegal weaponry also being found in the home, as well as the place falling into a state of disrepair. And by 2005, he might have sadly been sold to a new owner for only $380,000. Today, website Realtor.com estimates that this home would now be worth around $450,000. While still living at their home in Jersey, DMX and his wife purchased a Harlem Brownstone in 2001 for around $750,000. At the time, all reports suggested that the couple were planning on renovating the three-story home into a series of apartments and then renting them out. Unfortunately for these best laid plans, zoning laws made that an impossibility. Furthermore, the work that DMX had already paid for only got him into all kinds of hot water with permit and worker safety lawsuits. Basically, it was a mess. When all this became too much of a hassle for DMX, he quickly tried to move off of it. He apparently had a $1.6 million offer on the home sometime in 2006, but the sale didn't go through and the home was ultimately sold at an auction in 2008. Forget this. $120,000 plus. DMX still had to cover around $400,000 in debts associated with the property. My gosh, talk about our money suck. These days, the home is now completely renovated and probably as gorgeous as DMX always imagined it would be. With its large windows, chef's kitchen and beautifully manicured front lawn, it's just too bad that X didn't get to stick around to see it. After moving on from his jersey home in the early 2000s, DMX picked up this Pueblo South Summer Home that spanned 3,700 square feet of space on 2.2 desert acres out in Cave Creek, Arizona for $575,000. Featuring five bedrooms, four bathrooms, stone flooring, granite countertops, custom made cabinets and a one bedroom guest house, is there anything this place doesn't have? Well, hold that thought for just one second because I haven't even mentioned the outside yet that provided an outdoor kitchen, an in-ground pool, a playground, and multiple horse stalls. Located on the breathtaking Cave Creek Park trail system, the home is also started by miles of riding, hiking, and biking trails that are perfect for outdoor exploration. Rather than take advantage of all the nature this home provided for him while living here, DMX once again found himself in trouble with the law the exact same reasons as before, Soon after his house was raided in 2007, DMX would sell the home at a loss the following year for $447,000. Around the same time that DMX was picking up his home in New Jersey, he also bought himself this 3,600 square foot home located on 2.5 acres of land in Mount Kisco, New York for a ported $912,000. Located about an hour outside of Manhattan, this area of northern Westchester has attracted former residents of the big city ready for a taste of that suburban living. Once DMX and his wife Tashira moved in here in the early 2000s, this became their primary home until their eventual divorce. From that point forward, it would become Tashira's home and a massive financial burden for DMX. In fact, the rapper would struggle mightily to keep this modest four bedroom, four bathroom home away from his creditors. Twice this home almost fell into foreclosure, but each time DMX managed to save off the inevitable. That being said, DMX very much wanted his ex-wife to move out. She simply refused to do so. He once told USA Today, I told her she's living above her means that you can't still live on the same block as Martha Stewart and Chevy Chase. You got a downgrade, but she refuses to do so because the house is in my name. She doesn't give an F about my credit. By 2014, he had paid back a massive $250,000 loan against the home, but two years later, he was filing for bankruptcy and transferring the ownership of this home to an LLC in 2019. Then, before anything else could be settled in regards to this home, DMX would pass away after collapsing from a heart attack. Leaving behind a real estate history, every bit as tragic as so many other aspects of his life. A single bright note to all of this? Well, remember how I mentioned those public housing developments that DMX used to live in? One of the former properties, Calcagno Homes, has now created a stunning mural in recognition of their former tenant. At least now, fans of DMX will always have a place to travel and pilgrimage to in order to pay their respects to one of hip hop's late greats. Back in 2017, the late and legendary Tupac Shakur's Woodland Hills mansion came on the market for over $2.6 million. This was the last home of the influential rapper where he lived back in 1995 to 1996 with his fiancé, Gadada Jones. The Mediterranean estate spans 5,895 square feet with six bedrooms and luxury features, and while Tupac didn't live here long, his legacy is still alive in the home with his lyrics, let no man separate what we create, carved into the concrete outside. Today, we'll take a look at Tupac's former abodes like this one and a couple others. Tupac Shakur, known also by his stage name Tupac, was a rapper, songwriter and actor who's widely considered to be one of the most influential rappers of all time. A lot of his work addressed social issues that affected inner cities and he often served as an activist against equality. Sadly on September 7th, 1996, Shakur was shot four times by an unknown shooter in a drive by in Las Vegas, passing away 60s later. His unexpected death shocked fans and the public alike. Tupac was one of the best selling music artists of all time, or still is for that matter, as five platinum albums of his were released after his death. He sold over 75 million records worldwide. While reports claim Tupac's net worth at the time of his passing was only about 200k, his estate would blow up in the decades to follow thanks to his unreleased records, and these days that number is closer to 40 million dollars. As you might expect, Tupac's former Woodland Hills estate was jam-packed with deluxe features. We're talking a luxurious master suite with its own private living room, three walk-in wardrobes and a hot tub plus a resort style backyard. It's really a shame he didn't get to spend more time here. We did a little digging and even managed to find Tupac's childhood home in Baltimore, along with his very first apartment in Oakland Los Angeles. Back in 1995, Tupac began renting out a stunning Mediterranean-style residence in the Woodland Hills area of California, near the Calabasas border. The impressive spread was rented out for Shakur and his fiancé, Cadetta Jones, by his label, Death Row Records. Unfortunately, the couple were actually in the process of purchasing the home before Tupac was tragically shot down in Las Vegas in 1996. The spacious home spent 5,895 square feet of space with six beds and five baths, and during Shakur's days, the extra space was often used to house his friends and fam, giving the home a dorm like vibe. His mom, sister, and nieces were among the guests staying at his mansion, even the rapper's teenage cousins. In fact, to keep his family and friends entertained, Shakur installed banks of video games and slot machines in the home. The home has changed hands a number of times since Tupac lived there, and one former resident was DJ Lethal, Demont of Limpisca. Over the years, the property has been visibly updated since the late 1990s at a cost of around $1 million. However, to this day, Tupac's lyrics, Let No Man Separate What We Create, is still carved into the concrete outside. While Demont owned the residence, he managed to carefully remove a piece of the hand-etched concrete that said Machiavelli, and turned it into a coffee table as respect to the late rapper, but he left the rest. The private property boasts a wide brick driveway with space for up to 15 cars, two dog runs, and an exterior covered in ivy with two glass doors that enter to the front foyer. Upon entry, the foyer offers a combination of French pillow stone and cherry hardwood flooring that dominate the interior, a sweeping staircase, elegant light fixtures, custom seating, and more. The large entryway has massive windows, one with bench-style seating, and a cosier formal living room off to one side with a fireplace and high-class decoration. This sprawling kitchen has French doors to the outside, granite counters, and high-end stainless appliances. Not to mention, the kitchen connects directly to a cozy family room with another fireplace, large TV, plush sofas, as well as sliders to a secluded patio area. Other main-floor spaces in Tupac's former mansion include a formal dining room with raw-iron chandelier, custom cabinets, and more doors to the resort-like backyard, as well as a bedroom plus ensuite bath with a maid's quarters. The remainder of the guestrooms are located on the second level and connected by Jack and Jill bathrooms. Tupac's former master suite was totally MTV Cribs ready, complete with fireplace and custom mantle, separate sitting area, and private balcony with views of the grounds. If all of that wasn't enough, the private retreat had a whopping three walk-in closets, one of which was a shoe closet, perfect for holding all of the late rapper's kicks. Then, the en suite bathroom offered a spa-like experience complete with two steamers in the wide-glass shower and a jacuzzi tub complete with fireplace and flat-screen TV hovering above. I mean, what more could you ask for? Additional en suite bathroom features included his or her sinks, a marble top vanity, and floor-to-ceiling mirrored entrance plastered in chandeliers. As you'd expect with an A-list celebrity such as Tupac, the palace was jam-packed with features found both in the interior and exterior of the home. The digs also included a wet bar, temperature-controlled wine fridge, games room with arcade games, and slot machines, plus a ton of sliders which seamlessly transitioned the interior to the exterior. The backyard would make any resident feel as if they're at a resort where there were a ton of stone terraces, some covered in some open, one seating area even boasting two brick-wood-burning fireplaces. In fact, the grounds were built for entertaining with full outdoor kitchen, barbecue, and bar. Not to mention, there was also a pool and spa with waterfall feature, and an additional secluded patio surrounded by fruit and palm trees. With multiple lounging areas, plenty of lush grass and a gorgeous view of Calabasas and West Valley, this backyard was definitely any entertainer's dream, just like listing materials said. Nearly 20 years later, Tupac's one-time mansion came up on the market in 2017 for just over 2.6 million dollars. And I think that's more than worth it since anyone purchasing the place got a ton of luxury amenities and a bit of Tupac's legacy. While Tupac's final years were spent with a ton of cash in a gorgeous home in Los Angeles, Shakur grew up in poverty. From 1974 to 1983, Tupac and his family were moving from shelter to shelter in East Harlem, looking for a place to live. In 1984, Tupac and his family relocated to Baltimore, Maryland in this first apartment of a brick-row house in the small North Baltimore neighborhood of Pen-Lucy. The area isn't exactly glamorous or safe, which is probably why the home last sold in May of 2011 for $26,000. Today, the home is valued around $135,000 and spans 1,798 square feet and boasts three bedrooms and two baths. As you may notice from the listing photos, the bedrooms are tiny and have damaged walls with very small windows. The home itself doesn't include a kitchen, but rather a kitchenette with combination living and dining room. As you can see, the kitchenette includes out-of-date appliances, a petite sink, and very little cabinet space or room for seating. The living and dining room spaces now have broken tiles, ripped drapes, and virtually no room to furnish the place. Probably the most disturbing image is that bathroom that comes with stained toilet, bathtub, sink, and walls with cracked tiles on the floor. According to stats from the 2000 U.S. Census, the medium household income in Pen-Lucy was only $22,000 and 55% of the homes are headed by a single female. With nearly 75% of these homes including children under the age of 18, you can imagine this was a rough place for Shakur to grow up. You really see just how far he had come. Of course, in between his childhood home and that Woodland Hills mansion, Tupac did move around a little bit. One of these spots was his Oakland apartment. Oakland, California served as a major chapter in Tupac's life as it was Shakur's first apartment where he lived with Moprem Shakur and Saphir. In a 1993 interview, Shakur said, When I got to Oakland, that's where I learned the game. So that's why I give all my love to Oakland. If I'm acclaim a city, I'm acclaim Oakland. Apparently Tupac would leave a stack of dishes so high that it would lean against the fridge with loose junk everywhere forming a rainbow of garbage. There wasn't much to check out in terms of listing photos of this place but today the entire building is worth 1.4 million while the apartment home spent 7,692 square feet and boasted 10 bedrooms and 10 baths. And that's in total by the way, not just for one single apartment. Before Tupac snagged his Woodland Hills home, he also acquired a property at Broadcast Center Apartments in LA. Apartments there today range between 2,700 a month and spans 672 square feet boasting one bedroom and one bath. While some of the residences, they can be as high as $4,000 with 1,000 square foot layout. Amenities offered here now include an outdoor pool with lounging area, barbecue grilling area, club, rooftop patio with fire pit and panoramic views plus a gym. There's also a pool and sauna just to name a few. We can't forget the Georgia estate either. In 1993 the rapper bought his mom a 2.2 acre estate in Stone Mountain Georgia boasting a six bedroom home on the property. So we got to check out the beautiful mansion of the late Tupac Shakur he lived in in the 90s as well as his earlier residences before the Hollywood success. What did you think about the glamorous Woodland Hills mansion and all the amenities? I thought it was crazy seeing just how he grew up in Maryland and how far he came but noting his success and influence I wasn't surprised. He worked hard for all he had. I really think it's a shame that Tupac didn't get to enjoy that Woodland's home with his fiance and loved ones for longer. It was super cool that while he lived there he invited many friends and family to stay. He definitely utilized all of the space in the mansion. And which amenities did you guys like best in that house? Were you more into the resort style backyard or the interior features like the massive master bedroom and add-ons? I'm pretty sure it's rare to find master bedrooms with not one but three walking closets but knowing me if I had access to that I would fill them all up with my outfits. The G unit days may be long behind us but have you ever wondered what former member the game has been up to? Well back in 2013 the rapper snagged a home in Calabasas, California for a $1.5 million which is the last place we know of him living and prior to this he lived in Glendale, California. Today we'll take a look at what we know about where the game calls home. We even found the listings. Jaycee and Tyrell Taylor better known by his stage name the game is a rapper who made a name for himself working with the infamous Dr. Dre. Game rose to fame in 2005 with his successful debut album The Documentary which rose to number one on the Billboard charts. He was further placed in the rap group G unit but that didn't last long due to his disputes with fellow member Anyways at the time of this recording online sources pegged the game's net worth at about $25 million. Back in 2014 the game sold his former residence for $1.63 million. This was a gated property located in the area of Glendale, California which is a city in Los Angeles County near Pasadena and Burbank on the map. The rapper purchased the home back in 2005 for $1.9 according to public records so it appears he sold it at a slight loss. The home was on the modest size built back in 1958 but updated since and boasted an open floor plan with high ceilings and even bright skylights overhead. The game's former crib spanned 4,667 square feet of space over two floors also offering four bedrooms five bathrooms and of course a games room. According to listing materials the home was partially remodeled around the time he sold it in 2014 and at this time they added custom closets surround sound systems and electrical and appliance upgrades throughout. Looking at photos and videos from the time the game lived here compared to what the house looks like now we can see it's been redesigned and freshened up a little bit. The exterior is now a subtle blue color but if you look closely you can see the lion statue in the front yard is still there. Walking in the door is surrounded by tropical plants and foliage and inside the entryway is open concept with some petite chandeliers and backlighting on the ceiling. The family room or den boasts custom built ins and we can see one of the living areas has quite the lavish marble fireplace as well. The gourmet kitchen is fitted with maple cabinets stainless steel appliances and a couple bar seats of the island. I'm not a fan of the wood color used here but they did add a $22,000 sub zero fridge in 2021 and there's an extra fridge elsewhere in the home for more food and drink storage. Additional rooms in the game's former crib included an office and as I mentioned a games room where there was a big screen TV and some other bonuses. These days this room has some workout equipment and a ping pong table. The completely private master suite has a walking closet and separate shoe closet not to mention an entertainment center with another TV. The spacious master bath has some more maple cabinets, a jacuzzi style tub and a separate shower. The most impressive part of the rapper's former glendale home has got to be the outdoor space. It was nice when he was living here but the more recent owners reportedly spent over 650k to make the backyard a true entertainer's paradise. These days the grounds boast a new pool and spa, gazebo with fireplace, sitting area, a full outdoor kitchen with island, two barbecues and a pizza oven. All of which has been crafted with custom quartzite. Talk about fancy. Sitting at the fully covered bar there's even a built-in TV to watch sports games and just feel like you're at a resort while elsewhere you'll find an outdoor shower and bathroom. In 2014 the game slightly upgraded his living situation with the purchase of a mansion in Calabasas California. This neighborhood is about 30 miles from his former home in Glendale and it's private and much favored by celebrities alike. In fact at the time of purchase the game was linked to none other than Khloe Kardashian who also lived in Calabasas at the time. Coincidence or not. Anyways this home cost the rapper about 1.5 million dollars which was a score considering it was foreclosed on and he snagged it at just the right time. His Calabasas abode sits on over two gated acres of land with sought after privacy surrounded by fruit trees gardens and luxury amenities. The Hacienda style home spends 4,132 square feet of space with four beds and five baths and it was reported the game already started sprucing up the abode right when he moved in. He seemingly added his own style including black crystal chandeliers, shiny satin details as well as he turned the dance studio into a games room with new hardwood flooring. Inside the single story home boasts open concept living areas including a combination great room and kitchen with high sloped wood ceilings overhead. There are also glass sliders and some skylights throughout for outdoor access and plenty of natural light. While old listing photos show the home with slightly rustic and classic interiors we can bet that the game fully redecorated to better suit his preferences. The common rooms also have amazing views of the canyon and Santa Monica mountains which makes for a definite selling point. One living area boasts double height ceilings as well as a soaring stone fireplace to unwind in front of while the kitchen is slightly compact but still has an Eden snack bar and extra breakfast nook. Elsewhere there's a small office as well as the game's master suite which has another stone fireplace built into one wall and an attached bath. The on suite has double vanities, walk and glass shower and a tub with a view. The game has likely modernized the home a lot since these listing photos but at least we can get an idea of the property. Other millionaire must haves include a pool, sauna, tennis court and even room outside for horses. Additionally there's a casita or guest house if you will which boasts sleeping quarters, a bathroom and its own kitchen for extra space. The landscaping and surroundings of the home are super beautiful including the front yard and motor court with fountain. While there's also easy access to miles of trails and the property is close to Malibu and Santa Monica. Rumors surfaced that the game's current home went into foreclosure while he was living here a few years back but since there was no news of him relocating we can't be sure. Well I think that's all I got for the game's house tour. We got to take a peek at the rapper's former home in Glendo California as well as his last reported place of residence in Calabasas. While the photos of his most recent home seem a little outdated which of the two properties was more yourself. The homes themselves are around the same size on the inside but somehow the first place seemed more modest. I think because of the location of the second one as well as all of the surrounding property it came with it was a bit more impressive. Once the Glendo home got that epic and expensive backyard facelift though it was pretty impressive to say the least. I like the hastienda style of the game's Calabasas house but I much prefer the resort like backyard at the first home. If you're wondering what 50 Cent has been up to lately as you probably know he isn't living in that Connecticut palace anymore. Apparently he's been spending quarantine at his New York City apartment. Don't be fooled if he seemed low-key though the rapper has been busy with producing, acting, and releasing his new book Hustle Harder. In this video we'll be taking a look at 50's Connecticut mega mansion and more. Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cent is a rapper, actor, producer, entrepreneur and now he's even an author. Hailing from a rough neighborhood in Queens he's come a long way from selling drugs at the young age of 12. As you probably know he was discovered by Eminem and signed to Shady Records with Eminem and Dr. Dre helping him become one of the world's best selling rappers of the time. 50 has done a lot through his career so far be it business ventures winning Grammys or starring as himself in Get Rich or Die Trying. These days he's producing and starring on the series Power and most recently doing the same for the ABC show For Life. There's definitely a bit of confusion around 50 Cent's net worth these days considering he filed for bankruptcy in 2015. Despite this and despite moving out of his money pit mansion in Connecticut he's still bragged about buying a house in Africa a few years back. But we'll look at all that in just a bit. All things considered 50 Cent's net worth these days is an estimated 30 million dollars. It's a lot but considerably less than when he was at his peak listed by Forbes as one of hip-hop's wealthiest artists worth 155 mil. Although we don't know what 50's current house looks like we do know where he's living. According to 50 Cent's Instagram he's been spending his quarantine in New York City considering he shows off the downtown views from his place. We also know this is where he currently lives thanks to a recent interview he did with Hollywood Reporter last month. They said that 50 Cent has been living at his NYC home for about two months now and he's getting restless. On the rapper's IG after posting a photo in his living room he confirmed that captioning the pic I ain't gonna lie I never sit still this is the longest I've been in one place since 2002. We know that 50 has a gym here because he says he works out daily while stuck at home. It seems his apartment is at least two levels since we saw photos of his kitchen he posted with his son and there's a staircase in the background. 50 has shown up a living room at his NYC home as well and an open concept space where as a TV it just looked like this room wasn't fully unpacked yet. The rapper also posed in his lavish marble bathroom where he clearly likes to kick back and relax. By the looks of 50's New York City home it's modern looking and classy and I can't imagine Ren is cheap. In the same Hollywood Reporter interview he said when asked if he's in New York. Yeah it's tough in New York because the buildings themselves are a representation of people on top of people we're conditioned to be pretty close to each other but you learn to mind your own business fast. So although I'm sure his condo is big by my standards he's likely used to living in houses with even more space which I can understand. If you guys know more about 50's New York City apartment be sure to let me know what I missed. The most famous home we know of 50 Cent to have lived in once belonged to none other than world heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson. Unfortunately when 50 had to unload the over-the-top mansion it sat on the market for a long 12 years before finally selling in 2019 at an 84 percent discount. He once listed the mansion for 18.5 million but by the time it was sold it went for a mere 2.9 million which is pretty sad considering the place is massive with 52 rooms. 50,000 square foot mansion sports 21 bedrooms 39 bathrooms and seven kitchens. Back when 50 Cent was enjoying the peak of his career he purchased this mansion for 4.3 million in 2003 setting a record for the neighborhood at the time. Located in Farmington Connecticut 50's previous mansion is located about 8 miles north of the affluent city of Greenwich. Of course it sat on a private and exclusive lot spending more than 17 acres of land and protected by a stately iron gate. 50 spoke about moving on from this place saying oh I sold that place I gave the proceeds to charity I needed that place man there are points when you need confirmation of success it was more than a house it was also connected to my viewpoint on Mike Tyson. So the mansion obviously had some sentimental meaning to the rapper. Anyways let's take a look inside this epic property which is unlike anything I've ever seen. Inside 50's mansion spanned over 51,000 square feet and had a whopping 21 bedrooms and 35 bathrooms. I mean that sounds more like a resort than a house. Walking in the mansion you're greeted by a shiny double height entry with dual wood paneled staircases and you can also see the large glass elevators. There are large skylights in the ceiling letting in plenty of light, columns and marble flooring. There's a classy piano room and formal dining table right off the entrance hall. There's also a secondary dining area beside one of the multiple living rooms. The interiors are lavish to say the least whether you're in one of the many bathrooms or one of the common spaces. Of course there's a spacious kitchen on the main level with breakfast, nook and pantry as well as a family room and a great room. The listing says the mansion has eight floors and if that's true well then wow. There are also five fireplaces spread across the residence. There are rooms that 50 likely use for business and work times such as a library or study and the large conference room for meetings. Then there are even more spaces to entertain like multiple games rooms including a casino style space and a billiards room, a home movie theater with blue velvet walls and even a nightclub in the home capable of hosting 1,500 people. Now that's crazy. 50's master suite in his Connecticut mansion had double height ceilings and winding staircases leading to a private upper level. There's a glass and marble spa style bathroom attached and even a huge walk-in closet with glass doors to show off all the designer wardrobe. Further features inside this epic mansion include a recording studio, indoor basketball court, indoor swimming pool with wooden walls and a full home gym. 50 spoke about the previous gym recently stating, in my Connecticut estate I had a full gym. Mike Tyson owned it before me. It had every type of workout machine you could think of which I don't doubt at all. Moving on to the grounds of his previous mega mansion it's covered with surrounding trees for even more privacy and of course there's a large guest house here for whoever wants to stay over. You know if there isn't enough room in the main house already. Other features outside include a huge pond with gazebo, a swimming pool with stone archway and even a hidden grotto with spa that looks like the one of the playboy mansion. Not to mention 50 had a full-size outdoor basketball court designed to spell g-unit in the center but I'm not sure if that has been changed since. If you're wondering why 50 sent ever left this gorgeous mansion one of the reason could be because of the bills. He was reportedly spending 70k per month in utility bills, maintenance and other expenses for the sprawling estate. After that Connecticut mansion another one of 50's properties made headlines this time in Africa. Although the rapper filed for bankruptcy in summer 2015 because of some lawsuits it wasn't long before he took to Instagram showing off a new home he bought. Although the location of the house is unknown the rapper posted footage of the place with the caption my crib is almost finished in Africa. I'm gonna have the craziest housewarming party ever. In this since deleted video a two-story brown and white home was visible surrounded by tropical trees. Workers were seen sweeping floors and engaging in various construction tasks and we can also see the moss green swimming pool and sprawling patio area. I'm not quite sure what happened to 50's Africa home but whatever the case we know he's definitely not living there anymore and he's back on American soil. So now we've taken a look at the properties of 50's sat and we can see that the rapper changes his mind and moves around a lot. He even admits to it. Apparently quarantined in his current New York apartment has been the longest he's stayed put for a while since 2002 in fact. We looked at the Connecticut mega mansion he owned once upon a time complete with a 1500 person nightclub and various other over-the-top features but ultimately he had to get rid of the place. Clearly spending 70k per month on expenses and bills made it quite the money pit and it wasn't easy to sell either. It took 12 years and 84% price cut ouch. Aside from this it's been said that 50 owns two other investment properties in Atlanta and Long Island as well as a New Jersey apartment but I'm not sure which ones he maintains the It's not every day that your average Joe is afforded the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of their musical idols. But if you consider yourself to be a Die Hard East Coast rap fan then I've got some pretty exciting news for you. Childhood home of the notorious B.I.G aka Biggie Smalls is available for rent at only $4,000 a month. Biggie spent the majority of his life living in this one-room shack but today the entire building has been turned into a gentrified eight-unit apartment complex. Yep gone are the days of no heat as Biggie would say because now this place is as cool a home to live in as any especially with its historical significance to New York City.  Biggie Smalls the notorious B.I.G or simply Biggie as he's also known was a rapper and songwriter who's widely considered one of the goats. Sadly in 1997 Biggie was murdered in a drive-by shooting in LA but his legacy lived on to say the least. Not to mention at the time of his passing it said he'd already amassed an estimated net worth of about 10 million dollars. If you're ever in New York City and you want to sit out on a Biggie Smalls site seeing tour don't worry about getting lost because it's practically impossible. Once you wind up in Biggie's old neighborhood of Clinton Hill simply follow the many wall-sized murals you'll find of the rapper's face and eventually well you'll be standing in front of 226 St. James Place a local Brooklyn landmark. If Biggie's mother Villaleta Wallace a Jamaican immigrant came to Clinton Hill in 2021 searching for a place to live there's practically no way that she'd be able to afford a home here today. But back in the 70s this building provided a home base for Villaleta and her young son. In fact it was inside this very building that Christopher George Latour Wallace aka the notorious B.I.G was born and raised for the first 20 years of his life. More than that it was destined to become young Christopher's proving ground as he made a name for himself in his own neighborhood before setting off to conquer the rest of the country. But before we get into the legacy of Biggie Smalls and Clinton Hill let's take a look at the home itself. When Biggie lived at 226 James Place it was considered to be a drug-plagued section of Clinton Hill. Flash forward to today and besides a few minor historic details from when the late superstar once lived here the rest of the building is now very much different. The entire complex sold in 2013 for $825,000 to real estate corporation known as Compass. They quickly got to work renovating the home and turned it into an eight unit rental. While undergoing those improvements the only pre-war details they decided to keep were the hardwood floors and the high ceilings. That being said the layout of Biggie's unit hasn't changed at all and while he might have once referred to this place as a one room shack in his song Juicy compared to the rest of New York City's horrendous living standards this home would qualify as a three bedroom home. Problem is only one of the rooms has enough space for anything more than a mattress. Thankfully if you ever wind up renting this place furniture isn't something you'll ever have to contend with because this home comes pre-furnished. Let's start with the kitchen. For a residence that's only 972 square feet of space the kitchen has been designed to allow for ample light and as much of an open concept feel as possible. It's in this room of the house with the original moldings from the time that Biggie lived here still reside which you know is cool if you like moldings. I mean there's a fan base for everything nowadays right? The kitchen also features a diamond checkered floor and baby blue backsplash so if you're a big fan of tile you'll feel right at home here. Granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and ample amounts of storage space round out this area of the home. According to Biggie's 2003 biography Unbelievable the Life, Death and Afterlife of Notorious B.I.G. the room opposite the kitchen on the far end of the hall was Christopher's. So pushing past the kitchen we can get a first-hand taste of the room where Biggie spent a good portion of his extremely short life. The area of the house features windows that face straight out into the next department building and those of us unused to the cramped living conditions of NYC would probably quickly succumb to a mild case of claustrophobia if we were to spend any considerable amount of time in here. And yet it was here that the magic happened where Biggie read word-up magazine smoked his blunt and listened to his hip hop records on repeat. This bedroom was his safe haven and he retreated here every day after school to prove his litany of doubters wrong. Beyond Biggie's old room the home also features a master bedroom and a guest room but like I mentioned a few moments ago there isn't much space in either for anything more than a simple bed and box spring situation. Finally a stone's throw away from the bedrooms is a considerably spacious southeast facing living room that is built in shelving units and an additional office on the far side. Now in terms of amenities the building offers laundry on site, a bike storage, as well as a common garden with a barbecue area for tenants to take full advantage of. It's also only one block from the subway and within walking distance of a whole ton of shops and restaurants. This is NYC after all. The only downside, sorry but no pets and that my friends would be a deal breaker for me but that's just me. Biggie Smalls moved out of this home when he was 20 years old. Records suggest that he moved into an affluent part of northern New Jersey, a suburb known as Teenac. This is where he purchased a two-story condo. But sadly Biggie would only get to spend a short amount of time enjoying his new digs because within four years of moving from St. James place Biggie was shot to death on the streets of Los Angeles. And while Biggie's life might have ended on that night his legacy has definitely lived on forever.  A lot has changed since the time that Biggie called this part of NYC home. Clinton Hill City Councilmember Lori Gumbo said about her neighborhood. During the time that Biggie created masterpieces, this neighborhood was redlined. People didn't want to live here. People moved out of the neighborhood. They had left us to die. And today that's simply not the case. The neighborhood is now home to hipsters, millennials, finance specialists and tech people. Basically the anti-pieces of what it used to be. And like I mentioned previously, there's almost no chance today that a family as cash strapped as Biggie's could afford to live here. In fact, according to Zillow, the median home listed in Clinton Hill is now around 770k. That's a far cry away from how things used to be. While the neighborhood may never produce another Biggie, they've still managed to ensure that his legacy will always be tied to Clinton Hill. After they renamed the portion of St. James place where Biggie grew up, Christopher Wallace Way. The gentrification of this area certainly complicates Biggie's legacy with his old neighborhood. But the truth is, most of us never forget where we came from regardless of how time changes things. And now people will never forget the role that Clinton Hill played in shaping the man, the myth and the legend of Biggie Smalls. So now that we've taken a look at where the late and great Biggie once used to live, what did you guys think? Would you try and rent out his former apartment or want to live there? I think that's any fan's dream come true. As long as you can cover that 4k a month New York City rent, you're good. Sean Diddy Combs has recently been looking to offload one of his two Los Angeles mansions. While the rapper is hoping to get $7 million for the crib, he never actually lived here. It was home to his ex Kim Porter who unexpectedly died in the mansion. The traditional style estate was located in Toluca Lake while the home Diddy still lives in is his $39 million main mansion in the Homby Hills neighborhood. The mogul also keeps a compound on the exclusive Star Island in Miami where he owns two side-by-side mansions and today we're going to be taking a look. Sean Combs, also known as P. Diddy, Diddy or one of his many stage names, is a rapper, record executive and producer as well as an entrepreneur. At the time of this recording, the icon has amassed an estimated net worth of about $800 million so it's no surprise he owns a handful of stunning mansions. In recent news, Diddy is seeking $7 million for this traditional style mansion located in the Toluca Lake neighborhood. While he's owned the residence since 2009 when he bought it for $5.3 million, it's not the rapper who was living here. Instead, the property was the long-time home of his ex Kim Porter, also the mother of four of his children. Sadly, Kim died unexpectedly in this very home back in 2018. The clapboard-sided abode was built back in 2006 and sits on half an acre of land with a fully-walled and gated property along with a security system for protection. Toluca Lake is a neighborhood in LA in the San Fernando Valley about 12 miles from downtown and there's a private natural lake here maintained by local property owners. Diddy's home is on what may be the best street in all of Toluca Lake where some of the neighbors include Viola Davis, Steve Carell, and Billy Ray Cyrus. The family-friendly mansion has a welcoming front entrance and motor court but once inside you realize the East Coast traditional is vacant and unfurnished. It seems the only thing left from when Porter lived here is the dated 2011 Cadillac Escalade sitting in the driveway. Anyways, the mansion spans 9,655 square feet of space with six bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms throughout. Walking in there's a soaring entryway with double-height ceilings, black and white marble floors, a crystal chandelier and a curved staircase which connects to a great room with fireplace. It seems that the home may need some slight work or at least some updating from the future owners. The grand home has hardwood flooring throughout most of the rooms and other amenities include a chef's kitchen with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances and elsewhere a screening room. The upstairs master bedroom was also luxurious boasting a private balcony and fireplace as well as a spa style attached bath. The grounds of Diddy's Mansion had a mature tree surrounding the property as well as manicured hedges, a sports court, outdoor fireplace, and sheltered dining area. Of course there's also an impressive dark bottom swimming pool with spa and Baja Sun Deck. Now for Diddy's main mansion which is worth a whopping 40 million dollars. The rapper purchased the property in 2014 and it's located in the upscale neighborhood of Holmby Hills Los Angeles and he originally moved to LA for the kids, the family, the weather. His home is a European style villa which was renovated just before he moved in and now it spans 17,000 square feet of space with eight beds and 11 baths. The former owner was an LA-based luxury developer who got rid of the existing 1930s style mansion and replaced it with their current structure which was even larger. Although there were no listing photos of the interior that I could find, Diddy opened up his door to the large property a few years back when he was answering questions for Vogue. We can see he has a large open entryway with spiral staircase and sparkling chandelier. Then we catch a look at the open plan living area where there are two large living rooms. His decor here is very clean with lots of white furnishings and black accents. There's also plenty of floor-to-ceiling windows and glass-frenched doors opening up to the patio outside his mansion. The main living room features a large fireplace and personal bar, there's an attached dining area and a custom-eaten kitchen with all the appliances you could ask for. Other lavish features of Diddy's custom mega mansion include a home movie theater with room for 35 guests, a fitness center and a wine storage room. Not to mention TMZ reported there's a separate spa pavilion with steam room, massage area and full service beauty salon. Outside, Diddy's massive villa sits on 1.3 acres of land and the luxury amenities continue with a 3,000 square foot detached guest house complete with bedrooms, a kitchen, living area and more. Elsewhere, there's a lagoon-style swimming pool and adjacent grotto which are connected by an underwater swimming tunnel that would give the famed grotto at the neighboring Playboy Mansion a run for its money. Diddy also has a compound on Miami's exclusive Star Island where he owns two side-by-side mansions. First is his 13,000 square foot estate he bought back in 2003 and the other is the $35 million house next door he snagged off Gloria Estefan this past summer. The rapper's original mansion cost him over $14 million and is a two-story mega mansion formerly owned by music mogul Tommy Motola. Inside, there's over 19,500 square feet of space with nine beds, 12 baths and features like a luxury swimming pool and boat dock. Now, Diddy's snagged the property next door which was the famous Conga Singer Gloria Estefan's property. She and her husband Emilio Estefan still live on Star Island but this was their second residence and used for family members. Inside, the entire mansion is white themed decor to match the sunshine and ocean surrounding the home as well as the exterior which is also a crisp white. The home was built back in 1940 and upgraded since featuring hardwood and marble floors, elegant art doorways and open patio spaces. The house sits on 1.2 acres of land and inside boasts 8,000 square feet of space with six beds, 10 baths and 240 feet of sparkling water from. One of the living rooms featured a white fireplace and large windows for plenty of views while the kitchen is spacious with a long center island also decked out in the same color scheme. Other features inside the house include a piano room, second floor loft and a bonus private entrance. Most or all of the bedrooms boast views of the water in addition to their own terraces and elsewhere there's a separate towels hot tub located within a classy courtyard. Aside from the main mansion, the property boasts another separate two-story guest house at the front of the property with three bedrooms, two full baths and a half bath. The backyard has a resort style pool and spa which has got to be the main attraction back here but you also have the ocean just a few steps away. Star Island is a man-made island that was completed in 1922 and set within the Key Biscayne Aquatic Preserve which is about 75,000 acres of state protected submerged land. The island is best known for being home to celebrities which includes Diddy himself. Fresh off a gig at the Grammy Awards onto officiating a mass wedding of 33 couples, you could call Queen Latifah the Queen of Versatility. Born and raised in New Jersey, the Queen also owned a mansion here for over a decade. Considering how her career was going at the time, the actress extraordinaire decided a move to the West Coast would be best. These days Queen Latifah reportedly keeps a main home in Beverly Hills she bought in 2005 which we'll take a look at along with a couple other places she called home. Dana Elaine Owens is far better known by her stage name Queen Latifah and she's an actress, singer, rapper, producer and more. Basically a woman with many many hats. A New Jersey native signed with Tommy Boy Records back in 1989 releasing her debut album All Hail the Queen with the hit single Ladies First that same year. On her third album the song Unity was influential in bringing awareness to women's rights and that record earned her a Grammy Award. While this naturally talented woman started in hip-hop she also had the voice to sing America the Beautiful and has appeared in over 30 films, TVs, sitcoms and music productions over the years. She was even the star of her own TV talk show the Queen Latifah show and one of Madison Avenue's go-to commercial stars promoting cosmetics, pizza, underwear and weight loss products. I think it's safe to say that Miss Queen Latifah's pretty much done it all and the hard work has earned her an estimated net worth of a cool $65 million. It seems that she's remained grounded despite all of her success in the industry while always succeeding at new adventures and trying new things. Just a few years ago a well maintained 1920s Mediterranean bungalow in the Hollywood Hills came up for a sale which was owned by none other than Queen Latifah and her long rumored former partner slash personal trainer Jeanette Jenkins. The pair bought the home in 2009 for $1.34 million according to public records. This single story bungalow was located near the base of Los Angeles's Nichols Canyon and was a gated mini compound with lusciously landscaped gardens in both the front and backyards. The Queen traditional style home was built in 1922 and remodeled feature contemporary interiors and upgrades, an open floor plan and modern finishes throughout. The 2026 square foot home was also complemented by French doors, a glass tile fireplace, high ceilings and mahogany hardwood floors. There were a total of three beds and two backs while high hedges and a fancy home automation system kept the home secure and private. Besides this there was a separate guest quarters on the property with private entrance and remodeled bathroom. In addition to neighboring formal living and dining areas the Queen's previous house included a tasteful Skylet kitchen with black granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The family room featured vaulted ceilings and a built-in entertainment system which could be enjoyed throughout the entire property including the patio and guest house. There's also a library, bonus room and a lovely master suite with large walking closet and en suite bath completed with tumbled marble. French doors through the house give access to the patio and a deck off the rear has a freestanding spot tub leading down to shady terraces and energy saving landscaping according to listing materials. The mature trees and tropical plants also added more privacy to the yard. Being a New Jersey native it makes sense that Queen Latifah would own a mansion there for 12 years. In 2014 her home in Colt's Neck, New Jersey came on the market for about 2.4 million dollars. Back in 2001 the Queen shelled out of a 2.1 million for this nine plus acre spread which was about 20 miles from the Jersey shore and almost 55 miles from Midtown Manhattan. The brick faced mini mansion measured 7,882 square feet inside with six beds, five full baths, three half baths and four gas fireplaces throughout. The 23 room residence stood two stories tall at the front and dropped down to three at the back offering a fully furnished walkout basement level. When you open the double front doors you're welcomed into a spacious double height foyer with a swooping curved staircase. The sculptural banister here gives the interior a very contemporary feel. The main foyer is surrounded by a formal dining room and a multi-purpose room it seemed with a baby grand piano at the time of the listing and the foyer also passed under a bridge which connected the two wings of the upper level. There's also a step down airy double height living room which was minimally furnished at the time and offered one of the fireplaces, wood floors and full walls of floor to ceiling windows.  While the kitchen offers a six-sided center island cooktop and top great appliances, the design is a bit ordinary when you look at the countertops and cabinets. You would think they'd be a bit sleeker to match the rest of this home. Elsewhere there's an in-law suite and the queen's former master suite was on the upper level of the mansion. Here there were hardwood floors, a private veranda and some interesting angled ceilings and walls.   The lower level had living spaces like a casual lounge with built-in wet bar and an office. Ms. Latifah's new Jersey home looks like it was perfectly maintained, even on the landscape grounds. The backyard was centered on a concrete terrace with a heated Olympic-length swimming pool. Despite letting all of this property reportedly at least at the time, the queen still owned a home in Wayne, New Jersey. She bought back in 1992 for $400,000. Clearly, Queen Latifah has had a couple of nice digs over the years to call home. After she sold those places, there wasn't much said about where she was moving, but it's assumed she's still living in a main house in Beverly Hills. In 2005, she picked up a home here for $5.4 million that was previously owned by Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis. Unfortunately, there aren't recent photos, but we do know the location and have a little idea of what the house looks like from the outside. There are also some outdated photos, likely from listing materials before the queen bought the home, but from these, we can see the place has features like vaulted wood-beam ceilings and some bamboo or wood-style accents like railings inside. We also know the home is 6,780 square feet and offers five beds and seven baths. There appears to be one room with a loft and floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors throughout the place. So I think I'm going to bring this house tour to an end here, but after looking at where Queen Latifah has called home over the last while, what did you guys think? We can assume these days she's still living in her main Beverly Hills residence she bought in 2005, but I don't know how she's decorated recently. We also saw her two former homes and New Jersey mansion she lived in for 12 years and a Hollywood bungalow she owned with her apparent act. We all know that celebrities only want the best that life has to offer a legendary rapper Snoop Dogg while he's no different. Believe it or not, but our man Snoop just turned 50 in October and over the course of his career, he's transformed himself into one of the most iconic and successful rappers ever. As much time may have passed, Snoop has seemingly called the same mansion in Diamond Bar, California, home for over two decades. He must really love the place. Ever since his first taste of stardom back in 1992, after being featured on Dr. Dre's hit single Deep Cover, Snoop Dogg has seldom if ever taken a misstep on his path to becoming one of the wealthiest rappers in the world. Now, his reported net worth is in the $150 million range. The crazy thing is, if we were to step into a time travel machine and circle back to the beginning of Snoop's career in the early 90s, we'd find him living in very similar surroundings to where he's at today. Having been born and bred in California, Snoop Dogg has remained a Cali boy through and through. In fact, the very first home he ever bought for himself in 1994 was a gorgeous home situated in Claremont, California. Snoop would live there for a handful of years before upgrading to a home located in the city of Diamond Bar, California in 1998, and he's lived there ever since. While Snoop has kept the inside of that property under pretty tight wraps, he's a little more open when it comes to his nearby recording studio located on the same street, the place he likes to call the church. Finally, Snoop has managed to keep up with the times by moving into his newest property located in cyberspace. No, really, Snoop Dogg is basically now a glorified Minecraft character. Back in 1994 at the cusp of his breakthrough into the world of hip-hop, Snoop Dogg picked himself up this very first home for around $660,000. And this thing, well, it's about as far away from a dog house as you could possibly imagine. Featuring eight bedrooms, as well as five and a half baths, this Mediterranean style villa is located in the suburban neighborhood of Claremont, California. Over the course of the time he's been living in this house, Snoop would have a considerable amount of work done to it, including the installation of marble floors, sweeping grand staircases, his very own home theater, and what's easily one of the highlights, an outdoor LA Lakers basketball court. When Snoop first moved into this place, it wasn't much bigger than around 3,000 square feet. Once he was finished with all of those renails, it had more than doubled in size, clocking in at an epic 6,527 square feet of space. Despite how especially well suited this home was for Snoop, he really didn't spend all that much time living here. In 1998, he bought his second home, which we'll get to in a moment, and by 2000 he had moved out of Claremont for his new home in Diamond Bar. Still, Snoop held onto this property for the next few years, eventually selling it in 2008 for reported $1.83 million, which is over a million dollars more than what he spent on the place himself. Then again, there's no way all that construction came cheap, so it's quite possible that Snoop simply broke even after moving off. Maybe Snoop should have held out just a little bit longer, because today the home is now valued at around $2.5 million dollars. As much as I would absolutely love to bring you all inside this home located in Diamond Bar, California, there's simply not a lot out there in terms of what this place looks like on the inside. And considering that Snoop has posted more than 50,000 times on social media sites like Instagram, without so much as offering us one verified glimpse, that should tell you that the rapper likes to keep his home life private. What we do know is Snoop's second and now primary place of residence was first purchased back in 1998 for around $720,000. It's said to feature four bedrooms as well as four baths and nearly 4,000 square feet of living space. It's located in the gated community known as County Estates, which has been described as a middle-class neighborhood that sits at the end of a cul-de-sac. Wait, hold on. A middle-class gated community? I don't think those go in the same sentence. There's just no way you could ever consider this neighborhood middle-class, not unless that stands for residence making well over seven figures a year. I mean, Snoop's home sits on more than 2.8 acres of land and comes complete with a gorgeous inground pool, spa, and outdoor basketball court. Oh, and did I mention the panoramic views of the California countryside? Because those are included too. Basically, this mansion sounds like everyone's dream house, but County Estates wants to pass itself off as a middle-class neighborhood. I don't think so. As nice as this home is, it hasn't exactly been smooth sailing for Snoop while living here, especially not once he got deep into the weeds of yet another home renovation.  The only problem? Well, apparently these contractors did a horrible job. In fact, this company did so poorly that Snoop decided he had no other course of action but to sue them to the tune of $500,000. According to the website The Blast, Snoop claims various agreements were entered into and all obligations were fulfilled on his end. However, he claims they failed to perform all work as promised, failed to pay subcontractors, and failed to satisfy regulatory requirements. To complicate matters even further, Snoop's lawsuit is itself a counterclaim to another pending suit. To complicate matters even further, Snoop's lawsuit is itself a counterclaim to another pending suit. This one filed against the wrapper by landscape company PDQ Enterprises. This construction company is suing Snoop for refusing to pay over $12k in home renovations, ranging from a light stucco touch-up to the more heavy duty stuff like removing rust stains from the in-ground pool. As part of Snoop's counterclaim, he's asking that the original suit he dropped completely. But as of right now, all of this is still working its way through the court systems. Now, in terms of the near future and what Snoop has lined up next for his humble abode, well, believe it or not, but he's already got his holiday plans on the books, and that includes inviting a very famous couple over for Thanksgiving turkey. I'm talking about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Wait, do we still call Harry a prince? I thought he gave that title up. Or is it once a prince, always a prince? Yeah, it's probably that. Anyways, as it turns out, Snoop and Harry have been cool with one another for a very long time, ever since Snoop reached out to both Harry and William after having heard that they were fans of his. Now that Harry and Meghan are living in such close proximity to Snoop, he told the UK Mirror that he plans on having them both over for Thanksgiving dinner. Him and Meghan are living their lives like they want, and that can't be an easy thing with the whole world judging them. They got to live life their way. They get a lot of respect for me for that. If they want to come over for Thanksgiving dinner, they are in for something special. Why would Meghan and Harry be in for something special? Well, if you don't know already, Snoop Dogg was once trained in the culinary arts by none other than master chef Gordon Ramsay. So now you know, and yeah, I bet Snoop can cook one mean turkey dinner. I'm also willing to bet that his stuffing is very 420 friendly. Located on the same street as his diamond bar mansion, Snoop picked up a two-story home that he affectionately refers to as the chuch, soon after moving into this neighborhood. This former three-bedroom home has now been totally converted into a recording studio complete with multiple conference rooms. It's basically where Snoop runs his entire empire from. Unlike with his home, Snoop's been willing to show off the inside of this place on a few occasions over on social media, especially his trippy recording studio. Basically, this place is Snoop's glorified man cave, the place Snoop escapes to when he wants to get creative or simply have some me time. And if you ever want to visit, then you'll have to follow two simple rules that appear on signs that are apparently posted all around the place. One, if you are here to holla at dog about money doing bad or personal problems in general, go home, he's working. And two, no consumption of alcohol or smoking of any kind at chuch, no exceptions. Okay, that last one was kind of surprising, especially considering most of us know Snoop as the most smoke-friendly man in the entire universe. Speaking of the universe, with technology constantly evolving at a rapid pace, Snoop could be forgiven as a 50-year-old man if he, say, wanted to let the newest fads pass him by, but quite simply put, that's never been who Snoop Dogg is. Now, Snoop has decided to team up with the online gaming community known as Sandbox to create the Snoop Dogg private party pass. So what is this? Basically, it's a recreation of Snoop Dogg's personal home and virtual space. Users can sign up to attend parties that Snoop will throw and even access virtual concerts, events, and Q&A sessions as well. The Sandbox also plans to host a land sale on the vacant plots right next door to Snoop's virtual home in the Metaverse. So technically, you could very well wind up becoming Snoop Dogg's neighbor online. Crazy, right? Rapper Eve Jeffers sure has come a long way from her humblest of beginnings in Philadelphia. These days, she lives in a gorgeous home in Los Angeles while also spending time at her and her husband's stately home in Notting Hill, London. We'll check out Eve's properties in LA and even where she stays across the pond in England. Eve Jeffers, also known simply as Eve, is a rapper, singer, talk show host, and more who has amassed a net worth of $10 million or more over the years. But things weren't always that way for the star. Growing up on the streets of Philly, Eve struggled not only to establish her musical talent, but simply to survive. At one point, she even had to work at strip clubs in the Bronx to make ends meet. But today, she's a Grammy Award-winning rapper and singer who's successfully crossed over to mainstream entertainment, having started movies like Barbershop, and been a co-host on The Talk for over four years now. In 2010, Eve began a relationship with British entrepreneur Maximilian Cooper and by June of 2014, these two were officially married, at which point Eve became the stepmother to Max's four children as well. Since then, even her extremely rich husband have enjoyed a stately existence while they're spending time at Eve's home in LA or Max's home in London. Before we jump into Eve's present day home life, I thought I'd give all of her fans a taste of how she used to live during her more single days. Prior to getting hitched to Max, Eve lived in a Mediterranean-style home in the Hollywood Hills. According to property records, Eve first purchased this abode back in December 2005. She dropped nearly $1.8 million for the three-story residence that measured 4,297 square feet of space and included four bedrooms alongside five bathrooms. This home is totally full of curiosities. To begin with, the front door acts as the rear door, which I mean how often do you really see something like that? Once through the entrance slash exit slash whatever it is, the rest of the house opens up to a very wide and very beige hallway with stairs leading both upstairs and down. Up top, you can find the formal living room, which features a fireplace as well as a couple of arched glass doors that lead out to the terrace area. Not far from there is the dining room, where three pretty spectacular Balinese lanterns hang above Eve's former dining room table. That space is only a stone's throw away from the well-equipped kitchen, where Bayton brown flecked granite countertops meet high and stainless steel appliances and honey-colored cabinets. A large portion of the home features some pretty spectacular wooden floors, especially the family room, where Eve installed a large party-sized sectional couch beside a massive coffee table. Meanwhile, remember that terrace? Well, outside of Eve's former home, there's no grass, no swimming pool, no spa, nothing. Why? Because there's simply no room. Not long after meeting Max Millian, Eve would sell her former home in 2011 for a reported $1.3 million. And while that may have been a bit of a hit to Eve's financial portfolio, when you're in a relationship with an entrepreneur like Max, you can eat a small loss. These days after a long hard day on the set of the talk, Eve likes to relax with her hubby inside her new Los Angeles home. This house is under Eve's name and Max, well, he owns his own house in London, England, which we'll get to in just a sec. So basically, these two lovebirds commute from one country to another to spend as much time with each other as possible. Of course, the recent pandemic has made this more difficult for them, and that's playing a large part in why Eve has recently decided to leave the talk, to concentrate on starting a family with Max. When these two finally decide to have kids of their own, they'll be spending a lot of time in this Los Angeles home, the location of which Eve has kept under tight wraps. What we do know about this place comes from the tidbits she's dropped for us on social media. For instance, we know that her new living room features an eye-popping red couch where she shoots the majority of her content while under lockdown. And while we've only been granted the smallest of glimpses of her bedroom, it's evident from the beautiful bouquet of flowers behind her that Eve knows how to brighten her home with a much-needed touch of color. She's also decorated the stairway of her main hall with heartfelt mementos of her relationship with Max. Stepping outside her home is painted in a rich cream color, and while that might not exactly make it easy to pick her place out from the rest of the homes on the block, while that bright red Ferrari sitting in her driveway is a pretty clear giveaway that, yes, hip-hop superstar Eve lives here. When speaking about the home life that she's managed to cultivate with her husband, Eve said, He's my homie. He's my friend. For some reason, we just have that core value of just being a hustler, working hard, believing in what you believe in, and making it happen. And he's a good person. Speaking of Max, why don't we take a look at the home he brought with him into this relationship? A few years before Eve would ever meet Max, the founder of the annual Gumball 3000 rally was looking for a home to call his own in London, England. That's when he spotted a rundown terrace townhouse, first built in the 1850s, situated in the neighborhood of Westbourne Grove in the world-famous district of Notting Hill. Max proceeded to buy this home from an elderly couple for an astonishing 1.6 million pounds. The four-story four-bedroom house was pretty much falling down at the time Max scooped it up, and it hadn't been redecorated since the 1970s. So the next year, Max enlisted the help of Australian architect Russell Jones to set about knocking the whole place down. They left only the exterior facade of the home standing. Speaking about his ideas for the place, Max said at the time, I wanted to create a contemporary home within the confines of a traditional structure. Although costs did escalate, it was definitely worth it. Now, what was once a pretty ordinary townhouse is a sleek family home with six floors, 2,396 square feet of living space, five bedrooms, a huge kitchen located in the basement, and a 20-foot long patio garden and dining area. But it's the little details of his own design that excite Max the most. For instance, there's a 135-foot sliding door that covers half the width of the rear of the home and rises over two floors. This huge glass pane slides back with the touch of a button to conceal itself within another wall, allowing for the kitchen and living areas to open up directly to the courtyard. There are also no visible lightbulbs anywhere in the house. Instead, strips of light frame doorways, floors, and mirrors. And even though that too was extremely costly to install, Max says it's worked out for the best in the long run, as he's only ever had to replace one strip of lights after years of living there. When all is said and done, it took Max two years of construction and millions of pounds to bring his dream home to realization. But as happy as Max is with how it finally turned out, he'd be the first to admit that the home, well, it gives off a very bachelor pad type vibe. And that wasn't something he was necessarily counting on. In fact, Max says that Eve immediately showed a great distaste for this place upon entering it for the first time. Max said, she hates the lighting in the master bedroom en suite. So as you might imagine, that means that Max is now looking to move off this home and has placed it on the market for a little over 5 million pounds. To this point, there haven't been any takers, but I can't imagine it'll last forever. So now we've taken a look at the homes of rapper and talk show host Eve Jeffers while Eve Cooper as she now goes by. And what did you guys think? Which home was best? One, two, or three? While Eve may not have been a huge fan of her hubby's house in London, I gotta admit I am. And I wouldn't have any trouble spending time in that fascinating home. Though I do understand where Eve is coming from with the lighting thing. A girl needs the perfect lighting setup. It really is that simple. I wish we knew more about her current LA residence but if Eve's other abodes are anything to go by, we know she furnished the place perfect. Ludacris is one of many celebs hopping on the TikTok trend recently and by doing so, we've gotten a glimpse into one of his properties where he lives with his family. His videos show the tennis court, the man-made lake, and even the pool. By the looks of it, the rapper has been spending quarantine at his main mansion in Atlanta, Georgia which is also his hometown. However, this isn't the only real estate he has. He continues to own a modern Hollywood Hills house and more. We even found some of the listings. Christopher Bridge is better known as his stage name. Ludacris is a rapper and actor. After forming his own label in the late 90s, he later signed with Def Jam South and went on to become one of the first dirty South rappers to achieve mainstream success. Aside from his rap career for which he's released a ton of albums over the years and won plenty of awards including Grammys, he's also a movie star. Although Ludacris is best known for his character in the Fast and the Furious franchise, he's had many other notable roles too. Luda was born in Illinois but moved to Atlanta, Georgia when he was only nine and he clearly considers this city his home. This is where he began rapping and still lives here with his wife and three children in a mega mansion which we'll take a look at soon. As of 2020, sources estimate Ludacris' net worth at a whopping 80 million dollars, making it on the list of the 100 richest rappers in the world. Before we get into the current homes of Ludacris, let's look at a place he used to live. Considering the rapper bought an even nicer property on the west coast a few years back, he didn't need this penthouse anymore and decided to sell. It was up on the real estate market most recently in 2018 for 1.175 million so he was able to get a good look. The multi-level residence is an upscale building near West Los Angeles and Century City. Ludacris bought the property over a decade ago owning it for six years or more but then sold it at a loss. His previous penthouse spanned just over 2,000 square feet of living space with two beds and 2.5 baths. The master suite was located on the lower level of the large apartment and had an en suite his and hers bathroom with dual sinks as well as a spacious walk-in closet. The unit featured hardwood floors, recessed ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows that led in a lot of natural light. There's also plenty of balcony access throughout the penthouse offering views of the LA skyline and the treetops. The main level was mostly devoted to an open-plan living space, all seamlessly merged together. Here you'll find the dining room, chef's kitchen, and a living room with freestanding steel fireplace. The kitchen offers another Eden bar area and stainless steel appliances. I gotta say this was a pretty nice apartment, looks super spacious, but the home Ludacris move on to was an upgrade to say the least. According to records, Ludacris bought a gorgeous modern mansion in the Hollywood Hills back in 2013 and still owns it to this day. Although he spends much of his time in Atlanta, it helps have a place in LA too. His home is located in the Hollywood Hills in a Primo location near Runyon Canyon where he even has perfect views of the Hollywood sign and head on view of the city. The mansion costs him 4.8 million dollars, but it looks to me like it was worth it and a lot nicer than his previous condos he owned on the West Coast. Inside his house spans almost 6,000 square feet of living space over more than three floors according to the listing and there are four beds and five baths. The home has every luxury amenity you could dream of with panoramic views from almost all rooms. The main living space is open concept with double height ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. Here you'll find the living dining and kitchen spaces. One of the living rooms resembles a great room with upper level balconies overlooking the large space. There are wide plank wood floors and walls of glass sliders that open up to the multi-level deck outside. The state of the art chef's kitchen features dark wood cabinets and an Eden bar.  It's super spacious with an additional seating area, fireplace, a wet bar, dual bathrooms, large dressing rooms and walk-in closet, and private balconies with glass rails and views of the Hollywood lights. Other features of the rapper's mansion include a large home theater, wine cellar, full bar, and aside from the guest bedrooms there are also separate maids quarters. Not to mention he's an attached two-car garage with additional off-street parking for up to seven. A definite luxury when you're in the hills. Outside on the grounds of the home aside from all the patio space to dine in and entertain there's a city view, infinity edge swimming pool, and a raised spa. So now that we've looked at Luda's LA properties let's move on to Georgia. He bought his first house in Atlanta after finding success as a rapper in the early 2000s and decorated the home with leather ottomans, a bare bones kitchen, and a local of his record company painted on the office wall. But you gotta start somewhere, right? This was the home they featured on Ludacris's episode on MTV Cribs back in the day and by the looks of it he had a large piece of bare land surrounding the home and inside it had three beds and two baths. Kinda odd though because a house that size looks like it would have more bathrooms. We can see the entryway with high ceilings and his now outdated office once you walk in the doors. Then Luda shows his spacious double height living room where he had a wall of his vinyls. There's a spacious eating kitchen where the rapper kept his chicken and beer and then we can see the strangely painted swamp hallway. This leads you to Ludacris's master suite where he had some flashy decoration to say the least from the fur pillows to the lions painted on the ceiling. Then he had his attached marble bathroom with fireplace and jacuzzi tub as well as a large walking closet on the other side. Other features included a games room which Ludacris made sound like it was the party room and out back there was a large swimming pool and even a basketball court. That tour was many years ago though what used to be Luda's bachelor pad soon found a new owner. He convinced his mother Roberta to move from Virginia to Georgia to be near his growing family and was passing the mansion on to her. However the home was clearly dated at this point and needed a fresh look. Ludacris said about his taste in the past, at that point I really had no sense of style. So he and his wife got some help fixing up the home for his mom. This was actually featured on a series called My House and the couple got help from designer Rachel Oliver to give his first Georgia home a major makeover as a mother stay present for mom. They worked with Rachel to remake the house more modern and feminine. They changed everything in the home from what we can see such as outfitting the old school kitchen with double ovens and steps so Roberta could reach the microwave and adding a touch of glam to the dining room. Looks to me like it worked out perfectly and his mom was super pleased with the results. Like I said Ludacris still calls Atlanta home and the family mansion where he spends most of his time is located here. In 2003 he bought this mega estate where he currently lives for only 2.8 million according to records. And I say only 2.8 million because look at the size of this place it's like a palace. The rapper's Atlanta mansion sits on over 22 sprawling acres of land and inside spans over 10,000 square feet with five beds and five or more baths. From aerial views of his property we can see that there's everything here from a swimming pool and spa, large fountain at the front, a guest house, basketball court, tennis court and even a private lake. We've seen Ludacris showing off his home more recently on Instagram and TikTok and his wife even give some glimpses of the luxurious place.  The guest house has also a multi-level and clearly the whole family spends a lot of time by the pool. But I would do the same if I had that in my backyard. Although I don't have too many details about the inside of Ludacris's Atlanta mansion, from what I can see the place is gorgeous. He recently spoke about why he loves the city so much and why he stayed, saying Atlanta is synonymous with the word real especially when you talk about the people and integrity. This is where my roots are and this is where I continue to be inspired to write music. I wouldn't want to move anywhere else. I feel like I would lose myself if I left Atlanta permanently. Also adding that some of his fave hangouts in Atlanta and the Buckhead area include prohibition, a member's only private club where he loves to smoke scars, Henry's bakery with his fave gingerbread cookies and chopped lobster bar and bone steakhouse. Not to mention Ludacris is a fan of Whole Foods, saying, I tried to eat organic and stay healthy to balance all of the partying, alcohol and wildlife stuff. Whole Foods is like my Disney world because you can get anything there. Just because you're rolling in money doesn't mean house hunting is always easy. Just ask power couple Beyoncé and Jay-Z who spent over three years looking for their dream home, only to settle on an $88 million modern mansion. These days they live in the posh Bel Air, Los Angeles and it's just as magical as you would expect. Their palace is made of steel, glass and limestone and offers over 30,000 square feet of space along with features like four swimming pools. We're going to take a look at where the pair calls home and you will want to miss a look at their insane fortress. Beyoncé and Jay-Z are a force to be reckoned with and the star couple definitely embodies success in its highest form. As a singer, songwriter and actress Bey has not only changed pop music but used her status to speak up for important issues. Her husband of 13 years Jay-Z is just as successful in not only his music career but also being a businessman, record executive and much more. The two have been crazy in love since 2001 and aside from their three children they've also built an empire together being worth a combined $1 billion or more. Needless to say Beyoncé and Jay-Z have lived in some spectacular homes over the years with their current one being the most jaw-dropping of them all. Hey guys it's Kara the Vampire Slayer back with another exclusive house tour here on Famous Entertainment this one looking at where Jay-Z and Beyoncé call home. Be sure to subscribe and ring that bell for notifications because we post brand new videos daily. As always you can follow me over on Instagram if you'd like to chat and now let's get into this video. It took Jay-Z and Beyoncé years to find their current dream home. In 2014 the couple lost out on a 70 million dollar Beverly Hills mansion being outbid by the creator of Minecraft Marcus Person and later they lost out on another nearby mansion. Finally in summer of 2017 the power couple would score their current residence a contemporary style speck-built Bel-Air mansion. While they asking prices at a whopping $120 million and Bey and Jay were able to snag it for $88 million which at this point is looking like a discount. Is a true trophy home that shows just how successful this couple really is. The 1.88 acre property actually included a 9,000 square foot colonial revival mansion when it was last purchased in 2013 but it was immediately torn down and replaced with the uber modern estate that sits in its place. Jay-Z and Beyoncé's property is more like a compound encompassing six buildings multiple pools separate staff quarters and plenty more outdoor features. Altogether the structures make up a combined 30,000 square feet of living space or so and the estate is a smart home equipped with all of the latest tech features. For example all it takes is the push of a button to open the glass walls. Safety isn't an issue here either with features like bulletproof windows and the entire place is situated behind massive iron gates. While the mansion was stacked with everything you could need and more reportedly the couple spent an additional 750k on changes like adding a backup generator and another living area under the many pools. Located near Belair's east gate Beyoncé and Jay-Z's home is in a posh neighborhood and there are 8 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms throughout. Aerial views show how large and impressive it is and we can see the backyard is divided into different levels. A level right off the home has an infinity pool and plenty of green space while the one below you can access by travertine towels stairs. Up on the roof you'll find one of the pools which probably has the best view of all and it's said the huge white space at the top is also a helipad. It's said that the architect of the home Paul McLean loves long skinny pools like these ones and we can see that especially in the pool on the second level. The boutique, hotel-sized home offers panoramic city views and inside the multiple floors are linked together with an amazing circular staircase lined with butter soft leather. In fact the sculptural stairs were allegedly carved using a single piece of wood before being lined with dark brown leather while the steps are made of limestone. Automatic glass walls throughout the home open to reveal over 10,000 square feet of outdoor living space and terraces as well for the ultimate indoor outdoor vibe. You wouldn't expect Bey and Jay to have anything but the best in their kitchen. While the home was still under construction the builder installed top of the line appliances and we can see there are two large islands that were custom-made in Italy. The nearby living room has a wall-sized marble fireplace and of course that floor to ceiling glass with killer views. A luxe bathroom on an upper level of the mansion has views right into the trees as well as a massive soaking tub perfect for the couple to unwind in a separate shower. The bathrooms are definitely high-end many with Kolkata marble floors and limestone sinks. This bathroom has a tankless toilet that's environmentally friendly while all of the wall-mounted toilets in their home can be opened, closed and flushed without even touching them. Looking at Jay-Z and Beyoncé's media room or home theater it has all of the best EV equipment with plush furnishings to unwind while enjoying the show. There's recessed lighting, a massive screen and a door that's rumored to be covered in lizard skin. While we can see photos of a sprawling room referred to as the master suite we can assume the couple has switched up the space since moving in. Either way there's a wall-mounted electric fireplace here and of course some more retractable glass walls leading out to a private terrace. Additional features in the mansion include a library office, a space for recording studio and a spa fitness suite with gym, hot tub, sauna and his and hers steam rooms. As I mentioned the amenities continue on the grounds the basketball court garage space for up to 15 cars, separate staff quarters and those four pools. Beyoncé has given glimpses of their epic palace on Instagram including the backyard. We can see the clean aesthetic with black marble walls and neutral colored stone floors. We can imagine the couple enjoys some downtime here with their kids whenever they get the opportunity. While the mansion has a formal sitting room Beyoncé also have a family room that's more laid back. It boasts mahogany hardwood floors an abstract rug, fireplace and acute caricature of the singer. Elsewhere of course Beyoncé also has a stunning walk-in wardrobe to keep all of her designer looks. She's sure to look inside her wardrobe while getting ready for red carpet events. It's decked out with wooden floors and cream walls as well as a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror framed with warm light bulbs. Since moving in the couple has also filled their home with artwork that reflects their style and personality and it appears they have a good eye. Altogether Beyoncé and Jay-Z have worked hard to transform this mega-home into their dream residence with their own touches. When Jay and Bey want to get away to the east coast they have a beautiful retreat in the Hamptons to escape to. The pair had their sights set here for a while after renting many upscale vacation homes in the area finally purchasing their own estate in 2017 called Pond House. This estate cost them just under $26 million and it's situated on two acres of land with 203 feet of direct waterfront. The couple's beautiful property is in the east Hamptons on the shores of Georgica Pond right next to a 17-acre meadow preserve and inside the mansion it spans 12,000 square feet of space. The main home boasts seven beds and nine baths while there's an additional 1,800 square foot guest cottage complete with two beds, a bathroom, a living area and kitchen. The Pond House was designed by Stanford White in 2008 before being renovated more recently by Geoffrey Collet and he rotated the entire abode by 90 degrees so the living room would face the lake.  Throughout the estate there are actually a bunch of 18th century Louis the 14th carved stone fireplaces, lead window panes and vaulted ceilings all of which add character. Beyond Zangizi's Hamptons home also boasts a double height entrance hall and living room both with two story windows and paneled oakwood walls. Other goodies in this mansion include heated marble bathtubs, a Turkish limestone wraparound terrace and even more to offer outside. Here you'll find an infinity edge pool and spa on the pond side of the property as well as an outdoor grilling area.
