Rappers often make big claims in their lyrics, but for Drake, they’re sometimes actually true. In Future’s “Where Ya At?” he rapped, “I’ll buy the neighbour’s house if they complain about the noise.” And this time, Drake has remained true to his word.

According to real estate website Trulia, the rapper purchased his neighbour’s home in Hidden Hills, California last summer for $2.85 million. He bought his first home in the neighbourhood, a seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom mansion, for $7.7 million in 2012.

Drake’s new place is a rather quaint ranch-style house with four bedrooms and five bathrooms on an acre of land. It’s a drop in the bucket for the rapper, which makes sense, since he allegedly bought the property so he’d no longer have to worry about noise complaints, after having received plenty since moving into the neighbourhood.

Why turn it down when you can just turn up?

Hopefully, Gordon Lightfoot takes note. The Canadian singer will be Drake’s future neighbour in Toronto’s Bridle Path, where the rapper is currently building yet another home.

“I’m very proud of the fact that he would choose to move next door to me,” Lightfoot said to the Canadian Press earlier this year. “It’ll be good to have him drop by. I’ll go over to his house for breakfast. His mom might come over for coffee.”

No word on whether this week’s news may get in the way of Lightfoot’s brunch plans. Drake could bring new meaning to “tattle tale sounds.”
