Days after his explosive rap feud with Drake ended, The Wall Street Journal reported that Kendrick Lamar rewarded himself with a $40 million real estate purchase in Brentwood, Los Angeles, California.
According to the outlet, the Pulitzer-winning rapper agreed to pay for the 16,000-square-foot mansion from a trust linked to Fox Corporation's Former Chief Legal and Policy Officer, Viet Dinh.
The initial cost of the house was only $19.5 million when the previous owners bought it in 2019. Once the deal is finalized, Lamar will pay double.
Lamar's big splurge came days after Drake waved a white flag to end their rap feud with "The Heart Part 6." However, Lamar's New York duplex penthouse was put on blast on one of Drake's diss on "Family Matters."
"Why did you move to New York? Is it 'cause you living that bachelor life?/Proposed in 2015 but don't wanna make her your actual wife/I'm guessing this wedding ain't happening, right?/'Cause we know the girls that you actually like," Drake rapped, claiming Lamar lived in Brooklyn alone without his fianceé, Whitney Alford, the mother of his children.
However, Drake's verse didn't spook Lamar, and he dropped massive allegations against the Canadian rapper on his chart-topping "Not Like Us."
"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/They tell me Chubbs the only one that get your hand-me-downs/And Party at the party playing with his nose now/And Baka got a weird case, why is he around?/Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophiles," he rapped in the song.
After "Not Like Us," Drake released one final song to end the feud: "The Heart Part 6."
"I don't wanna diss you anymore, this really got me second-guessing. You could drop a hundred more records, I'll see you later/Yeah, maybe when you meet your maker/I don't wanna fight with a woman beater, it feeds your nature," he said in the song.
Meanwhile, Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith, the CEO of Lamar's former record label, Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE), tweeted on X, formerly Twitter, claiming that the "battle" between Drake and Lamar "is over."
"This battle is over. A win for the culture, while keeping it all on wax. Especially when these publications try to make it something else. We proved them wrong. That's a victory within itself. On another note, it's time to wrap up this TDE anniversary compilation," he announced.
