The bling loving, anime obsessed and Bugatti Veyron driving mixed tape superstar, whose 2017 debut studio album (“Luv Is Rage 2”) was certified double platinum, and whose second studio album (“Eternal Atake”) rocketed to number one on the Billboard 200 after its March 2020 release, is almost as well known for his fearlessly flamboyant and playfully gender-bending fashion stylings as he is for the music he makes; He caught a fair amount of flack when he donned a sheer and lacy Valentino pirate shirt for the 2017 Billboard Music Awards, and more recently Vogue described his wardrobe as “a veritable teenage girl fantasy” that includes “Hello Kitty beanie hats, and cutesy Mickey Mouse handbags.”
With the purchase of a striking and spacious, light-filled home on the outskirts of Los Angeles, about 30 miles and an hour’s drive outside Beverly Hills, the Philadelphia native now has a show stopping residence in which to store all his adventuresome designer duds. Behind gates at the top of a driveway that makes a sinuous swoop up a rugged hillside, the two-story home sits on nearly 1.5 acres with five bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms and panoramic mountain and city lights views.
The listing was jointly handled by David Friedman and Melodi Belluomini, both at Rodeo Realty, while Lil Uzi was repped by Alex Vichinsky of The Agency.
