Yesterday, Chris Brown had a yard sale.
The sale was centered around the clearing of closets, age-old storage units, or, in his case, an 8,300-square-foot Tarzana estate, and dumping any unwanted possessions outside for a handful of neighbors to peruse, a conventional yard sale is at once exciting and unimpressive.
On Tuesday, the singer announced to his 89 million followers that he would be selling “significantly marked-down, high end designer items” at his gated home in Tarzana, listing the address and hours (10 a.m. to 7 p.m. today, Wednesday November 6, though his Twitter implies it’s a two-day affair).
The online announcement—featuring a purple illustration of Brown wearing a baseball cap and hoodie with his head in the clouds (and feet, to be fair)—received over 150,000 likes on Instagram and was simply captioned “DA CRIB…❤️ ”
The singer is controversial—he was arrested in 2009 after physically abusing then-girlfriend Rihanna—and the property is notable for its own history with the law: shortly after he bought it in 2015, the house was subject to a break-in that resulted in Brown’s aunt getting locked in a closet, according to the LA Times, and just last year, officer’s reportedly seized an illegal pet money from the home.
Regardless, fans started lining up Tuesday night for a chance to buy luxury at yard sale prices, and aerial footage shows at least 12 tents, each with multiple racks of clothing and accessories, dotting a parking lot on the property with a graffitied bus behind.
Shoppers told TMZ that they were being let in 10 at a time, with people spending around $500 for merchandise they believed could be worth thousands. Proceeds will go to a yet-unspecified charity.
