“Gangnam Style” rapper PSY has reportedly used his new-found wealth to secretly snap up a lavish $1.25 million pad in Beverly Hills.
TMZ reported that his two-bedroom, 2,700 sq. ft. condo in the famous Blair House was paid entirely in cash. The purchase barely made a dent in his pocketbook as PSY allegedly raked in $7.9 million for “Gangnam Style” in the last few months alone.
Earlier this month, PSY issued an apology for performing an anti-America song in 2004 with lyrics that included “Kill those [bleep]ing Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives . . . Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers. Kill them all slowly and painfully.”
He said: “I’m deeply sorry for how these lyrics could be interpreted. I will forever be sorry for any pain I have caused by those words.”
The South Korean pop star is not an US citizen so it’s unclear how much time he will be spending in his new home. TMZ suggested that the purchase was a way for the now-controversial performer to apologize again and to show Americans he does not hate them.
It’s said PSY kept the purchase incredibly secret. He even went so far as to be flanked by security guards when he cloncluded the all cash deal with money wired directly from Korea.
