Drake is finally unloading his massive Hidden Hills, California mansion known as the “Yolo Mansion,” but it’s nearly $3 million below its original asking price.
The 35-year-old hitmaker sold the property in the celebrity-packed area for $12 million, despite originally asking for $14.8 million in a deal that was finalized on Friday, according to TMZ.
