But the rapper’s 7,583 sq. foot home recently went into foreclosure, as he failed to make several payments on his mortgage obtain in 2006 for $2 million.
Here’s what he had to say about the foreclosure… all we could say is SMH!!!
He decided to “let that house go ” because the real estate market had turned, leaving the house as a bad investment. Chamillionare also noted that he was never at the home.
“I was always on the road touring. I just didn’t feel like it was a good business investment to pay that much mortgage for a house I was never at. I still got all the cars.”
He’s happy because he has tons of cars… but no place to live come on nicca. You making all them white folks have a reason to sit up there laughing at us…
