Drake is showing off his extravagant 50,000 sq ft mansion dubbed “The Embassy” — complete with a 4,000 lb. black marble tub and NBA regulation basketball court.

The 33-year-old superstar graces the cover of Architectural Digest for the tour of his multi-million dollar mansion, which also features a one-ton bed and bed base in his 3,200 sq ft master suite, made by Hästens, the official supplier to the Swedish Royal Court.

The “God’s Plan” singer made his home in Toronto and told AD, “Because I was building it in my hometown, I wanted the structure to stand firm for 100 years. I wanted it to have a monumental scale and feel.

“It will be one of the things I leave behind, so it had to be timeless and strong,” he added.

He hired Canadian architectural and interior designer Ferris Rafauli, who was not afraid to go big or go home – using bronze, exotic woods and limestone.

Drake insisted: “It’s overwhelming high luxury. That message is delivered through the size of the rooms and the materials and details of the floors and the ceilings.

“I wanted to make sure people can see the work I’ve put in over the years reflected from every vantage point.”

Rafauli added: “This isn’t stucco, paint, and fake gold. That’s not what Drake wanted, and that’s not what I do.”
