When Drake first began amassing his fortune while he starred in Degrassi: The Next Generation, there was no way to know what he would go on to achieve. Easily one of the most successful performers of his generation, it often seems like all of Drake's songs become hits.Even though millions of people love Drake, his fans will already know that he has had some nasty beefs with his peers. With that in mind, it shouldn't surprise anyone that Drake has some people in his personal life who dislike him.According to reports, one of the people who has been really frustrated with Drake in the past is his former neighbor. Instead of lashing out at his neighbor as Drake has with other performers who've called him out, he threw a lot of money at the situation to make it go away.
Why Drake Gave His Angry Neighbor Millions Of Dollars
When responsible people buy a home, they spend a long time looking for the perfect place to live. If they find an ideal house and their offer is accepted, they then bring in an inspector to make sure that there isn't anything wrong with the home that is lurking under the surface.
Unfortunately for home buyers, there is one thing that very rarely gets considered during the process, neighbors. As anyone who has had a nightmare neighbor will be able to attest, it is hard to overstate how much they can disrupt your life. After all, if you can't even be comfortable at home, that is a huge deal.

When Drake moved into a home that is located in the gated community known as Hidden Hills, California, his neighbors may have been excited to meet a celebrity. Whether there initially was excitement in the area or not, at least one of Drake's neighbors seemingly came to dislike his presence.
In 2015, Drake made a guest appearance on Future's song "Where Ya At". In the song, Drake can be heard rapping the lyrics “I’ll buy the neighbor’s house if they complain about the noise”. Then, only months later, trulia.com reported that Drake had indeed bought his neighbor's home.
At the same time, nationalpost.com reported that Drake "allegedly bought the property so he’d no longer have to worry about noise complaints, after having received plenty since moving into the neighbourhood."
Assuming the reports about Drake's reason for buying his neighbor's home are accurate, it is amazing to know how much the purchase cost. According to that same National Post reports, Drake paid $2.85 million.
No matter what Drake's reason for buying his neighbor's home was, at least it sounds impressive based on trulia.com's description.
"Drake’s new property, built in 1955, is a charming ranch-style house tucked away on a peaceful cul-de-sac. Located on 1 acre, the 4,445-square-foot four-bedroom, five-bathroom home is the perfect cozy complement to the 7,444-square-foot home next door."
"An open floor plan, hardwood floors, and high ceilings are the ultimate example of California cool, while multiple fireplaces and a top-of-the-line gourmet kitchen make this the type of home friends will want to hang out in."
"Outside, there’s a spacious front yard and a cozy, secluded backyard with a swimming pool and 800-square-foot guesthouse, as well as a small pool house." "There’s even room for horses,"
Despite how impressive that description is, it turns out that Drake eventually decided it was time to move on from his neighbor's home and the surrounding area.
Where Does Drake Live Now?
After Drake bought his second Hidden Hills home, the beloved rapper actually purchased a third adjoining property. With that in mind, it certainly seemed like Drake was determined to call Hidden Hills his home for many years.
Due to all of Drake's success as a musician, he has accumulated a staggering $250 million fortune according to celebritynetworth.com. Evidently, Drake decided he wanted to use his massive fortune to buy an even more impressive home for himself.
First off, Drake started by putting all of his Hidden Hills properties on the market and he quickly sold two of them to football player Matthew Stafford. Drake then purchased a huge Beverly Hills mansion from the British pop star Robbie Williams for $75 million.
According to reports, Drake's new main home has 10 bedrooms, 22 bathrooms, and is 25,000 square feet in size. Some of the home's other "amenities include an eleven car garage, a wine cellar, a gym, a game room, a professional screening room, an elevator, a tennis court, a mosaic tiled pool and an outdoor kitchen".
