According to NE Ohio Scanner, a rap video rager went down this weekend at a house in Bay Village, Ohio that apparently used to be rented by none other than J.R. Smith when he was a member of the Cavs. Cleveland i-Team reports are that the nearly 10,000 sq. ft. house is available on AirBnB and was turned into a 200-300 person party that included people smoking weed in neighbors yards and numerous cops trying to shut down the party that didn’t clear out until 1 p.m. Sunday.
Initial reports of the party came into the scanner at just after midnight. So if you’re keeping track at home…it took over 12 hours to clear out all people associated with the rap video rager at the rental. Looks like I might have to contact Bay Village to get police reports on this one because it sounds like one of those legendary moments that deserves further investigation since it’s not showing up on the Cleveland news.
As for the house, I’ve analyzed several JR Smith house photos on Instagram and it sure looks like where he lived back in the day. This place is going to be the most famous rental on the west side of Cleveland. The place was listed as a rental for $15,500 back in September. Here’s the listing on Airbnb. $1,300 per night.
Have video(s) from inside the Bay Village rap video party? Let’s see how great it was.

I’ve been able to obtain scanner traffic from the night of the Bay Village Mansion Party and you can hear the cop mention a rap video being filmed and people brought a bunch of money with them.
Bay Village Mansion Party homeowner, actress Stephanie Garvin, says it was a break-in:

I believe it was because of the parking deal, people were parking in the wrong driveways.

Several others just pulled out of the house and turfed the neighbors lawn.
Apparently several people from out of town rented the house to film a rap video. https://t.co/xwsrKxKhJt

Bay Village Lake Rd AirBnB Success Story… Sounds like the crowd has been slowly dispersing. OSP troopers departed 15 min ago, they estimated between 200-300 people on the grounds when they arrived at 1am.
No word on how many pearl necklaces were clutched in the neighborhood. https://t.co/aOJ9B3smTI

"There were people pouring out of the house – even at 5AM, walking down the middle of Lake Road. Yelling. Screaming. Threatening to start fights"

Rave reviews from the neighbors hitting facebook:
"We have garbage and broken bottles all over our sidewalks and yard. People started arriving at 10/11 and were still arriving at 1:00." https://t.co/aOJ9B3smTI— NE Ohio Scanner (@NEO_Scan) October 6, 2019
