Some of hip hop’s biggest stars call Los Angeles home, treating themselves and fans to glimpses of their lavish properties on social media. From sprawling mansions in Bel Air to modern builds in the Hollywood Hills, these rappers have spared no expense designing dream homes befitting their success.
Blueface may be a relatively new face in the rap game, but the hits have been piling up since his breakout single “Thotiana” took over in 2018. The 25-year-old LA native’s rise in fame has afforded him the opportunity to settle into a stunning mansion in the Valley.
Though he’s remained lowkey with property details, Blueface has shared shots of his sleek kitchen with gray stone countertops, massive backyard perfect for entertaining, and a cigar lounge complete with barrel ceiling. Given his past legal troubles stemming from incidents at his former Blueface House nightclub, it’s no wonder he prefers relaxing in the comfort of his own luxurious home.
Further up in the Hollywood Hills, Post Malone enjoys panoramic views from his modern farmhouse-inspired residence. The 26-year-old megastar spared no expense constructing the 6,000 square foot property from scratch, adding floor-to-ceiling windows, a recording studio, home theater, and outdoor space complete with a barbecue pit and pool.
Since purchasing the home for $3 million back in 2019, Posty has found solace there between touring and making hits, even hosting friends like Justin Bieber for lowkey gatherings. It’s easy to see why the versatile artist is so comfortable in his lavish yet laidback Hollywood abode.
50 Cent may no longer reside full-time in Los Angeles, but he retains ownership of properties in the Hollywood Hills. Back in 2009, the rapper-producer paid $10 million for a four-level home boasting six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a recording studio, gym, infinity pool, and breathtaking panoramic views stretching from downtown LA to the ocean.
Nicknamed the “Candy Shop,” 50 Cent utilized the mansion as a party palace of sorts before putting it on the market in 2014. Though it took some time, the one-of-a-kind estate finally sold for $6.5 million, still returning a decent profit almost 15 years later.
Further south in the posh Los Angeles suburb of Bel Air, Drake owns not one but two epic estates. In one, the “God’s Plan” rapper resides full-time in a stunning 20,000 square foot Georgian-style mansion purchased for a cool $7.7 million back in 2020.
Features include a ballroom, gym, wine cellar, fully-stocked bar, several fireplaces, and swimming pool, creating the ultimate sanctuaries for Drake to relax between sold-out shows. Nearby, he also owns a second $25 million compound just in case he needs extra space to spread out in high-end luxury.
Although hailing from Compton, Kendrick Lamar fell in love with a Spanish-style villa nestled quietly in the Hollywood Hills upon first viewing it back in 2016. The five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home offers all the amenities fit for one of rap’s greats, including a master bedroom with balcony overlooking the city, home theater, guest house, and swimming pool.
Over in the ultra-ritzy Hidden Hills neighborhood, Tyga owns a contemporary mansion he purchased for $7 million back in 2020. The recording studio and garage allow him to record and tinker with cars to his heart’s content. Meanwhile, the indoor basketball court, custom bar, and resort-style pool ensure he’s never bored when not working.
Rounding out this lineup of hip hop homes is Snoop Dogg and his sprawling Baldwin Hills compound. The iconic West Coast rapper paid $3.5 million for the multi-building property back in 2015, featuring main residence, recording studio, guest house, swimming pool, putting green, and space galore for hosting events.
Having long resided in Southern California, it’s no surprise Snoop is more than comfortable kicking back in his personal oasis between touring the world as a legendary performer. The picturesque neighborhood of Baldwin Hills serves as the perfect tranquil spot for hip hop royalty to unwind.
From starter homes to full-fledged compounds, these rappers have settled into Los Angeles properties as lavish as their chart-topping careers. While the multi-million dollar price tags may seem staggering, years of grind and success in the music industry have paid off to afford them spots to relax in unmatched luxury. Glimpses into their exclusive homes only fuel further fascination with their lavish lifestyles.
