Wanna See 50 Cents’ House?
It’s only been three years since rapper 50 Cent bought a 48,000 square foot mansion belong to Mike Tyson. Back then, the place was decorated in turquoise and purple and, in 50’s own words, “It kind of had a ‘Miami Vice’ feel.”It didn’t take long, though, for 50 to put his mark on the home. The enormous 19-bedroom home, located in Farmington, Connecticut, has a nightclub complete with a swing hanging from the ceiling.
On Thursday, 50 will invite viewers to tour his home on a special edition of MTV’s “Cribs”. This invitation comes just before he moves out of the home, which he’s selling for $18.5 Million.
50 originally bought the home because of the space it would provide. He and his G-Unit cronies could record there. Some of the other rappers he works with, such as Tony Yayo, have their own rooms, and 50 himself records in his basement.
So, why’s he selling? He says he is tired of the more than two hour commute to New York City, and he’s in the market to downsize. When asked about a future home purchase, he said, “It might be a lot smaller. The basics - maybe four or five bedrooms.”
Better get your look on while you have the chance - the next owner might not invite us in.
