In a move that is totally “unrapper like” GQ’s Rapper of the year Kendrick Lamar plops down a very modest $524,000 on his first home in Eastvale, CA. I think this speaks volumes as to what the young rapper places importance on. Kudos Kendrick !!! Read the full story below & check out some vintage Kendrick warning against the dangers of materialism as well.
Kendrick Lamar keeps it real, and his newly purchased California home is proof.
The Grammy-nominated rapper reportedly purchased a 4-bedroom home in Eastvale for a modest $523,500. Given that the average home in the Eastvale goes for $345,000, Lamar clearly hasn’t let his newfound fame and fortune get to his head. An hour away from Los Angeles, the surprisingly-normal house is certainly not what one might envision GQ’s Rapper of the Year to live in.
In today’s rap game, Lamar seemingly stands alone in his modest purchases. Back in February, Rick Ross dropped $5.8 million on Evander Holyfield’s 109-room mansion in Georgia. Fellow California resident and rapper Tyga owns a $6.5 million 7-bedroom home in Calabasas fully equipped with a movie theater, spa, pool and waterfall. In 2012, Drake moved into a flashy $9 million mansion in the Hollywood Hills complete with a tennis court, volleyball court, wine cellar and horseback riding arena.
A Compton native, Lamar has emphasized the dangers of materialism both in interviews and on tracks like “Vanity Slaves Pt. 2.” It’s refreshing to see a down-to-earth celeb who’d rather keep up with the Joneses than the Kardashians.
