Nicki Minaj made the right decision to invest in a villa in California because of this

Nicki Minaj recently made a large real estate acquisition in Hidden Hills, California. The home is situated in the same guard-gated community as that of Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian, and a number of other A-list celebrities.

The rapper has acquired a home of her own after spending years renting homes across the greater Los Angeles area, from Beverly Hills to Malibu. She plans to settle in with her two-year-old son.

The Grammy Award–winning musician, now 40 years old, was patiently waiting for the opportunity to own the mansion, which features a total of eight bedrooms, nine full bathrooms, and two powder rooms. In addition, there was a detached guesthouse, a cabana, a saltwater pool, and 12,000 square feet of space.

According to the journal, “The main house itself has pocketing glass doors that open to various patios and terraces,” and “the upstairs master suite offers a private balcony overlooking the backyard.” Both of these features can be found in the home’s upper level. Her master bedroom comes complete with an own balcony that looks out into the expansive lawn.

In the past, she had the misfortune of renting a Beverly Hills property at an eye-popping rate of $30,000 per month in the year 2016. According to TMZ, one year later, she was the victim of a burglary at the luxurious residence, during which she lost jewels and other valuables to the tune of $200,000.
