Chamillionaire’s home in Houston was recently repossessed by the bank. The rapper told TMZ.com that he allowed the 7,583 sq. foot mansion to be taken because the recent housing downturn made the home a bad business investment. Chamillionaire, whose real name is Hakeem Seriki, purchased the house in 2006 for around $2 million.
“I was always on the road touring” the rapper said. “I just didn’t feel like it was a good business investment to pay that much mortgage for a house I was never at.”
Chamillionaire claims he is doing well financially: “I still got all the cars.”
