Prankster put Drake's lavish mansion up for sale for $20 million in scam property listing after pretending to be rapper's manager

A prankster has listed Drake's mansion on a property website, fooling real estate agents and a multitude of media outlets in the process.

The impostor - with no connection to the Canadian star - pretended to be the rapper's manager and fuelled reports that his the lavish Los Angeles mansion was up for grabs for a cool $19,999,900, according to TMZ.

Real estate agent Alexei Pavlov apparently noticed the listing on U.S. property website Zillow, and contacted the 'manager' to ask if he could represent it commercially.

The impressive house features a grotto, home cinema, games room, spa/massage room, gym and library and was purchased by Drake $7.7 million back in 2012. 

With the 'manager's' agreement, Mr Pavlov posted the property details onto the Multiple Listing Service, with the sale even being reported by the Los Angeles Times.

However, Mr Pavlov soon discovered the listing was false during another conversation with the 'manager' to firm up details of the listing.

Apparently the manager 'got aggressive and confessed it was a scam.'

Meanwhile, Drake, 30, has also recently hit headlines when reports surfaced that he and Madonna, 58, had shared a brief romance before their famously awkward Coachella kiss back in 2015.

According to The Sun, the Vogue singer and the rapper were both single at the time and 'had fun together' - but had kept it top-secret, as they knew 'it wasn't going to last forever'.  

The claims of their fling in 2015 coincide with the pair's famous lip lock onstage at the Coachella Festival in April of that year. 

However, a source informed the paper that their brief romance had actually occurred before the smooch - and had been completely hushed down by all aware.

The insider revealed: 'Everyone in Madonna’s circle was totally aware there was a brief fling between Madonna and Drake in 2015.'

'They knew it wasn’t going to last forever obviously but both of them were single at the time.'

Further affirming its casual nature, the source continued: 'They had fun together, but kept it strictly secret. Neither of them ever plan to discuss it.'

MailOnline has contacted representatives of Madonna and Drake for comment. 

The singer teased at their connection by indulging in a French kiss with the rapper, while she performed her track Human Nature at California's famous music event.

The claims of their top secret romance may then explain why the two musicians embarked on a public spat soon after the kiss.

The Hotline Bling star had been seen recoiling and fiercely wiping his mouth in response to her advance - a reaction which quickly went viral online.

Addressing his response, Drake quickly took to his Twitter to assure fans he had not been disgusted - writing:'Don’t misinterpret my shock!! I got to make out with the queen Madonna and I feel 100 about that forever. Thank you Madonna.'

Not happy: The claims of their romance may explain why they fell out soon after the kiss - with Madonna comparing his kiss to a 'girl' and claiming she regretted the smooch

However it seems the Material Girl herself did not take so well to his facial expressions after the clinch.

During a Q&A session with fans on Instagram, Madonna hit out at the rapper when she was asked if he was a good kisser - replying: 'I kissed a girl and I liked it'.

Not stopping there, she later responded to a question about what she regrets in life by stating: 'Don’t kiss Drake no matter how many times he f***ing begs you to.

Their supposed romance comes in light of reports that the rapper's current girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez, is said to be 'head over heels' for him. 

The couple only went public with their romance in December, but it already appears to be moving at a fast pace.

While Jennifer is now ready to get serious about Drake, she initially wanted to keep their romance 'easy, light and fun' as she worried he was a 'player.' 

The insider continued: 'The last thing Jennifer wants is for Drake to do something to make her look foolish or feel like she has been played.' 

Drake is currently in the UK as part of his Boy Meets World tour.
