 Way back in 2012, rapper Nas was dealing with mountains of tax debt, also losing his Georgia estate in the process. These days, things are looking up for Nas and aside from winning his first ever Grammy earlier this year, he also picked up a massive 3.5 million dollar mansion in the outskirts of Calabasas, California to call home. In this video, we'll check out the hip-hop artist's brand new Mediterranean style custom-built home, as well as his one-time abode he lost to foreclosure back in the day. In these videos, we don't reveal any addresses, and even though I've done a house tour of my own place, please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. Nasir Nas Jones is a rapper, songwriter and entrepreneur, best known for being part of the New York hip-hop scene, and regarded as one of the most influential rappers of all time. Since 1994, Nas has released 14 studio albums, which are certified platinum. While Nas lost his Georgia home to a highly publicized foreclosure in 2012, those days are long behind him, and as of 2021, the rapper's net worth is at roughly 70 million dollars. Aside from his music career, Nas was also smart with his investments into companies like Ring, the virtual doorbell company Amazon purchased for 1.1 billion dollars. He has further banked money from his touring, streaming, having his own record label, owning a Fela sneaker store, and more.

Way back in 2012, Nas allegedly was having issues with the tax debt, and lost his Georgia estate to a super publicized foreclosure. According to records, the rapper bought this home back in 2004 for 585K, but SunTrust Bank, who issued Nas the loan, said he couldn't foot the bill and defaulted on the payments. When the bank took the property back and sold it to the highest bidder, the home only went for about 348K, a steal for the new owner.

Located down south in the town of McDonough, Georgia, Nas's former home was built in 1999 and boasted over 3,500 square feet of living space inside. There was a grand entry with double height ceilings and large living spaces throughout, along with two bedrooms, three full baths, and two half baths. There was a formal living room which was definitely decorated for the times, including a stately white fireplace, bold walls painted in reddish hues, and flanked with columns. The kitchen was quite dated too, but I'm sure it had been renovated since, and it has a large center island with range, as well as a nearby breakfast nook. Other features included a custom home theater, a games room decked out with all the fun activities you can imagine, and a fitness center. Out back, Nas's former Georgia mansion also had a swimming pool and spa, which was installed in 2003. It looked like the perfect setup to entertain. In 2005, Nas married rap songtress Khalees Rogers in Atlanta. However, in 2007, the couple bought a home in Los Angeles for 1.6 million dollars. We don't know about the rapper's one-time residence here, but we do know it was built in 1947 and offered over 3,200 square feet of space with four beds and three baths. We also know, compared to this place, his latest home is a definite upgrade. These days, things seem to be looking up for the iconic hip-hop star. Not only did Nas win his first-ever Grammy this year for the rap album King's Disease, he also got the keys to his new sprawling mansion in a semi-ruel Calabasas outskirts. Located in an exclusive community just outside the well-known Calabasas, California, Nas paid 3.5 million dollars for his new crib, and it sits on a huge lot of over 10 acres, looking like quite the oasis. Walking up to the home, the exterior is slightly boxy and modern, and records claim the estate was custom-built in 2007. It boasts a Mediterranean meets Southwestern style in its architecture, and inside has 6,526 square feet of space with four bedrooms and 5.5 baths throughout. Sounds like the nicest home Nas has owned over the years, at least that of those that we know of. The house was originally listed for 2.5 million dollars, but with all the luxury features, land size, and more, it attracted a bidding war, one which the rapper came out on top. His mansion sits beyond a long driveway and is, of course, protected by gates and sufficient security cameras for privacy. It's secluded, and it boasts surrounding views of a mountain vistas. The multi-level home greets guests with a double-height entryway and wrought iron staircase, along with polished marble floors and plush carpeted stairs. The main floor's highlight has got to be the living room with fireplace built in bookshelves and walls of glass sliders opening to a terrace. This living room is super cozy to say the least, and the full walls of bookshelves create a very nice mood. Nearby, there's a gourmet kitchen that has wooden cabinets, a center island with plenty of space to food prep, fancy viking appliances, and granite counters. There's also a separate breakfast room and a butler's pantry with extra beverage fridge, so it's safe to say this space is decked out. While all of that is nice and impressive, this floor also has a family room with another fireplace and a flat screen TV and elsewhere, a sunny home office where the rapper can sign some business deals. Nas's Calabasas mansion also has stand-out features like a spacious wine cellar with tasting area and a games room with billiards table and a wet bar. Moving to the rapper's upscale master retreat, it comes fit for a king too. Not only is the room massive, it has everything from a contemporary two-way fireplace to a sitting room and even a private balcony. The sleeping quarters in the private sitting room are full of light thanks to the chic windows and glass doors. There's also dual walking closets and a lux spa style bath with steam shower and jetted bathtub. If that's not enough, Nas can grab a workout at the separate home gym. To complete his new estate, the grounds are equally stunning. Outdoors, there's an alfresco dining patio which boasts a built-in barbecue and plenty of terrace space to soak up the sun. And that is not even the feature back here. There's an amazing grotto-style pool with a spa waterfall and waterslide which I really hope will be put to good use on those hot California days. To top the mansion off, literally and figuratively, Nas's home boasts a rooftop deck with picture-perfect views. Well that's all I got for the homes of Nas, so I think that concludes this house tour. We saw how far the rapper has come since his Georgia property he lost to foreclosure back in 2012 to his current mega-upgrade in Calabasas. He may have had to let go of his former home way back when, but the silver lining is that his new crib is way nicer. Out of all the rooms and amenities in his new place, what did you like best? What did you think about the style of the home? I think it looks like a sunny paradise and it's totally unique. Not to mention, I'm obsessed with his pool and grotto complex.
