Drake is once again trying to offload his Beverly Hills pad—two years after he first put the over-the-top abode on the market with an asking price of $88 million.

The Grammy-winning rapper, whose ongoing feud with rapper Kendrick Lamar has dominated headlines in the past year, has now slashed $9 million from his original ask, offering the property up for $79 million in a desperate attempt to draw in a buyer.

Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Drake Graham, put the Tuscan-style estate back on the market on June 24—three years after snapping it up for $75 million, Realtor.com® can reveal, and months after he attempted to lease out the home for $250,000 a month.

Though the rapper has seemingly decided that the home is not the “Best I Ever Had,” the property—which was previously owned by British pop star Robbie Williams—will undoubtedly catch the eye of many with its impressive array of amenities, which include 24,800 square feet of living space, 10 bedrooms, and 13.5 bathrooms.

However, perhaps the most alluring aspect of the home is the land on which it sits: a nearly 20-acre parcel that is ripe for development, should a buyer wish to tear down the existing structure and replace it with something more modern.

For those who are happy to consider the dwelling move-in ready, other existing highlights include a resort-style pool, a tennis court, a cooking patio, and sweeping views of the California skyline.

Moving inside the abode, guests are greeted with an expansive floor plan that includes a chic living area with ample space for multiple couches, a cozy fireplace, French doors, and large windows.

Next to the living area is a lounge with a fireplace, wood-framed windows, and a built-in wooden shelf.

“This property defies description with over 25,000 square feet, seven bedrooms, 13 full baths and nine half baths, nine fireplaces, an elevator, garage and motor court to accommodate 15 cars, staff quarters offering three bedrooms and separate full kitchen,” the listing reads.

Modern touches are present throughout the home, including in the library, dining room, and chef’s kitchen. The latter is equipped with state-of-the-art appliances and two large marble islands.

Although the home isn’t the “Best [He’s] Ever Had,” it’s surely fit for a star as the grounds feature lush landscaping, a resort-style pool, a tennis court, a cooking patio, and sweeping views of the California skyline.

There is also a private gym, wine cellar, screening room, and game room on the grounds.

“Offering a perfect setting for an outdoor soiree, the grounds inspire the kind of serenity found in the world’s most secluded villas w/ immaculate lawns & gardens, orchards, fountains, a mosaic-tiled swimming pool, outdoor pavilion, pool house with a kitchen & pizza oven, tennis court & pavilion, walking paths and a view to envy,” the listing adds.

The listing comes just months after Drake and Lamar’s feud reached its height. The battle began long ago when they competed for the title of world’s best rapper, and soon devolved into a slew of diss tracks and legal woes.

The artists were pals until 2013, when Lamar rapped about “murdering” J. Cole, Meek Mill, Drake, Big K.R.I.T., Wale, Pusha T, ASAP Rocky, Tyler, the Creator, Mac Miller, Big Sean, and Jay Electronica‘s music.

Drake responded to the diss track while speaking to Billboard.

“I didn’t really have anything to say about it. It just sounded like an ambitious thought to me. That’s all it was,” Drake told the outlet. “I know good and well that [Lamar]‘s not murdering me, at all, in any platform. So when that day presents itself, I guess we can revisit the topic.”

Their public spat reached its peak in 2023 when Drake teamed up with J. Cole, prompting Lamar to release another hit slamming them.

Drake then released two back-to-back diss tracks slamming Lamar, even using AI to mimic the voices of Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg.

Shakur’s estate then threatened to sue Drake, prompting him to remove the voices from the hit titled “Taylor Made Freestyle.”

Lamar hit back with a six-minute diss track teasing Drake’s style and morals.

Less than 24 hours later, he released another diss track, claiming that there was a mole inside Drake’s team telling him news.

The two continued to fire off at each other, with Lamar eventually accusing Drake of being a “deadbeat” father.

In 2024, Lamar released his hit “Not Like Us,” rapping in the song, “Say, Drake, I hear you like ’em young/ You better not ever go to cell block one/ To any b—- that talk to him and they in love/ Just make sure you hide your lil’ sister from him.”

Months later, Drake filed a motion against Universal Music Group, accusing the company of using bots to inflate Lamar’s streams. The motion was later proved false.

Drake then accused UMG of defamation, claiming that it could have declined to release the song in a motion filed in January 2025.

Although Drake hit back, the damage was done as Lamar continued to figuratively dance on his grave as he performed “Not Like Us” at the Super Bowl.

Attorneys for UMG then hit back at Drake, noting, “Plaintiff, one of the most successful recording artists of all time, lost a rap battle that he provoked and in which he willingly participated. Instead of accepting the loss like the unbothered rap artist he often claims to be, he has sued his own record label in a misguided attempt to salve his wounds.

“Drake has been pleased to use UMG’s platform to promote tracks leveling similarly incendiary attacks at Lamar. But now, after losing the rap battle, Drake claims that ‘Not Like Us’ is defamatory. It is not.”
