Selena Gomez offloads mansion to French Montana

French Montana is moving in to Selena Gomez's old home after purchasing the Calabasas, California mansion at a discount.

The pop star placed her dream house on the market for $4.5 million (£3 million) in November (15), after less than two years in the property, following a stalker scare.

She later slashed around $1 million (£683,700) from the asking price, and now she has managed to offload the pad to rapper French. He reportedly paid $3.3 million (£2.26 million) for the new space, $150,000 (£103,000) less than it was listed for, according to TMZ.com.

The Mediterranean-style home boasts five bedrooms and six bathrooms, a large outdoor swimming pool, a screening room, and a wine cellar, and is located not far from the hip-hop star's ex-girlfriend Khloe Kardashian's property.

Selena's ideal home turned into a nightmare just days after she bought the place in early 2014, after an overzealous fan showed up on her doorstep twice in two weeks and had to be arrested.

The Come & Get It singer also called the police on three other occasions to report an intruder on the grounds.

French isn't the only celebrity to pick up a pad from Selena.

Iggy Azalea and her fiance, basketball player Nick Young, took her Tarzana, California house off her hands in 2014, when they paid $3.5 million (£2.39 million) for the six-bedroom mansion, which features a pool and spa, a sports court, and a guesthouse.

Selena had bought the property in July, 2011 and moved out after a huge renovation in May, 2014, before relocating to Calabasas, where her on/off boyfriend Justin Bieber used to live.
