Nas has found a new home in the Big Apple in the form of a luxury apartment he is coughing up major cash each month to rent.
The New York Post reported on Tuesday (May 21) that the Queensbridge rapper has landed a swanky new condo in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan for the eye-watering sum of $16,500 per month.

The two-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath property is located at the Enrique Norten-designed One York, which is the first living complex in New York City to feature an automated parking garage.
The sixth-floor, 1,714-square-foot condo also boasts its own private terrace, a chef’s kitchen and a bedroom suite with a walk-in closet and spa-like bath.
Nas will be paying for his new spot in part by returning to the road.
Earlier this week, the rap legend announced that he’s celebrating the 30th anniversary of his seminal debut album Illmatic by teaming up with the Las Vegas Philharmonic for three shows later this year.

The concerts will take place over Labor Day Weekend (August 29, August 31 and September 1) at the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas, with support from the live orchestra.
“Las Vegas has always served as a creative outlet for my music, and these performances will take that to the next level,” he told Billboard. “I am excited to partner with the Las Vegas Philharmonic to bring this first-of-its-kind performance to Encore Theater and to showcase my music to my fans in Las Vegas in a whole new way.”
AEG Presents Las Vegas senior vice president Bobby Reynolds added: “We could not be more thrilled to welcome Nas to Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas for this historic collaboration with the Las Vegas Philharmonic to celebrate one of the greatest hip-hop albums ever made.
“Marrying Nas’ legendary catalog with the unparalleled sound of the Las Vegas Philharmonic Is guaranteed to be an unforgettable and must-see experience for all Nas fans, and there is no venue more perfect in Las Vegas for this collaboration or a better place to be this Labor Day Weekend for entertainment than Encore Theater.”

Nas isn’t just taking a trip down memory lane in 2024, though. He is also set to drop a new album with DJ Premier following decades of speculation surrounding a joint album from the longtime collaborators.
The duo kickstarted the rollout last month by releasing the first single, “Define My Name.”
