Kendrick Lamar buys a new pad.
Kendrick Lamar is being smart with his money. According to TMZ, the “Humble” rapper just purchased a $2.65 million Calabasas home, however, he doesn’t plan on living in it – it’s strictly for investment purposes.
The lavish 5,400 square foot home comes decked out with 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a pool, large backyard, three-car garage, home gym, double-sided fireplace, and a resort-style backyard. Public documents show that Lamar purchased the home in November of last year.
In other news, Lamar has a biography in the works that is being written by Pitchfork contributor, Marcus J. Moore. Moore released the following statement about the upcoming project, “My book details the artist’s coming of age as an MC, how he helped resurrect two languishing genres (bebop and jazz), his profound impact on a racially fraught America, and his emergence as the bonafide King of Rap.”
“It details how his story directly connects to the charged spirits of art and revolution. Ultimately, the biography explores the broad global impact of Mr. Lamar and his work.”
