Kanye West seems to never be able to get out of the spotlight. However, in a strange turn of events, the publicity-hungry rapper sold his 4,200 square foot bachelor pad in a quiet off-market deal this past week.

The house, which West purchased near Hollywood Boulevard for $1.75 million in 2003, was sold to an undisclosed buyer for $2.95 million.

The deal came not a moment too soon for the award-winning musician – he had been trying to sell his Hollywood Homes estate for nearly seven years. West originally listed the property in 2010 with a hefty price tag of $3.995 million. Three years later, he tried again but dropped the price to $3.3 million. Four years later and the 40-year-old has finally found his buyer, at an almost $1 million discount from the original listing.

The upscale compound features a desert modern design with three floors – each with its own balcony – a home theatre and breakfast room. It also features some weird quirks, like a large aquarium with live fish built on top of the bathtub, and an entire room designed around cartoon characters.
