Drake Turns Lyrics Into Reality
In a move that perfectly embodies his rap persona, Canadian superstar Drake once bought his neighbor’s house in Hidden Hills, California, after they repeatedly complained about the loud parties he hosted. This surprising real estate decision closely mirrors a line from his 2015 song “Where Ya At”, where he rapped:
“I’ll buy the neighbor’s house if they complain about the noise.”
Even Joe Rogan, the popular podcast host and former LA resident, confirmed this story on his podcast, adding credibility to the widely circulated tale.

Inside Drake’s Hidden Hills Mansion Expansion
According to real estate sources, in June 2015, Drake purchased the neighboring property for $2.85 million. The house, spanning 4,445 square feet, features:
- 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms
- Hardwood floors and high ceilings
- Multiple fireplaces for a cozy ambiance
- A large pool, guesthouse (800 sq. ft.), and a pool house
This purchase allowed Drake to expand his already lavish estate, which included a sprawling mansion known as the “YOLO Estate”, featuring its own swimming grotto, a movie theater, and a basketball court.
Joe Rogan Confirms the Story
While the story initially seemed like a fan theory, Joe Rogan confirmed it on his podcast, stating that Drake’s legendary house parties were a hot topic among LA residents. The fact that Drake had the means to silence complaints in the most extravagant way possible only adds to his larger-than-life reputation.
