On 23 November, 2025, Nathan and his cousin Leyla walked the street and tried to spot the Deep in the Bottom hitmaker's R157 million house, which he had purchased through his company, Little Ark Holdings.

The mansion, referred to as the Pentagon, was reportedly sold for R3 million below the initial asking price. World-renowned architect Stefan Antoni designed the house, which boasts a cinema, five en-suite bedrooms accessible by an elevator, and two self-contained staff quarters, among other amenities.

After seeing all the properties, Nathan asked:

"That's insane. Who needs such a big house?"

"Confidently, DJ Coffee, DJ Jacobs sounds better than Coffee."
