(AllHipHop News) Timbaland is having some more problems with the Miami mansion he has been attempting to sell for almost five years.

Timbo has been attempting to sell the 7-bedroom mansion for $3,390,000 since he divorced his wife in October 2013, after five years of marriage.

Timbaland almost had a buyer by the name of William Zamora, who was living in the mansion as escrow on the deal was closing.

According to TheBlast.com, Zamora failed to close the deal, which allowed Timbaland to exercise a clause in the contract to charge the man $30,000 a month if he stayed in the home.

Timbaland, born Tim Mosley, claims that Zamora is refusing to leave the mansion and refusing to pay him, effectively ruining any chances he may to sell the valuable property.

Timbaland is asking a judge to order William Zamora to get out of the mansion immediately.

Tim doesn’t seem to be too stressed over the issue.

He recently copped two “Sky Home” condos for $3 million at Aria on the Bay, which is one of the most exclusive luxury buildings in all of Miami.

(AllHipHop News) Rihanna is giving fans the chance to rent out her lavish Los Angeles mansion after failing to offload the home on the property market.

The “We Found Love” hitmaker purchased the five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom West Hollywood pad for $2.75 million in August, but she appeared to have a change of heart about making the Spanish-style compound her home and never moved in – instead putting it up for sale two months later, at the slightly higher price of $2.85 million.

However, after struggling to attract a new buyer, the pop superstar has decided to offer the house up for rent at a price of $16,500 a month, reports Realtor.com.

The gated property boasts a pool, lounge deck and cabana, as well as a guesthouse and a four-car garage.
