Inside Lil Wayne’s new $15.4M LA mansion he bought after Trump pardon

Just two months after Donald Trump pardoned Lil Wayne, the rapper shelled out $15.4 million for a newly built Los Angeles estate. 

Located next door to Kylie Jenner in Hidden Hills, the luxury abode was constructed in 2019 and is made up of seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms. 

Wayne, born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., closed the sale on March 17. 

The move comes after Wayne, 38, was granted clemency in his December 2020 case after he pleaded guilty to a federal firearms charge brought against him by the US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida.

He was arrested the previous year after transporting a loaded handgun on his private jet from California.

Wayne earlier this month shot down rumors that he had married model girlfriend Denise Bidot after cryptically teasing his apparent “forever” love for her in a Twitter post this spring.

The two had previously spent most of quarantine in a rented Hollywood Hills mansion.

In a song titled “Dreams” from his latest 2020 album, “Funeral,” Wayne rapped: “I had a dream/I was a fool/No mansion or no pool/I woke up and I screamed/Thank God it was just a dream.” 

Don’t worry, Wayne — you got your mansion and it clearly was just a dream.
