50 Cent hopes to offload mansion
Friday November 20 2009
50 Cent is hoping to offload his 19-bedroom mansion because it is too big even for a hip-hop star of his status.
The rapper bought the Connecticut estate off Mike Tyson in 2003 for five million dollars.
But because of its size, it is hard for him to call it home, 50 said in an interview with Hollyscoop.com, explaining: "It feels like I'm in a hotel."
He added: "There's a nightclub. You know how people have like a focus group? I have that for my music, like, 1,500 people and play it (new songs).
"The neighbours are so far away they can't even hear us."
But selling the place is proving hard, given its hefty price.
Fiddy put it on the market in 2007 for 18.5 million dollars. After attracting no buyers the price was dropped to 14.9 million dollars.
But the slashed price has not resulted in any sale as of yet, he reported.
