Located in the exclusive, verdant enclave of Cocoplum, where Marc Anthony is selling his $27 million place, the 5,756-square- foot, five-bedroom home features an open air courtyard, vaulted ceilings, steam room, chef’s kitchen and a pool made for parties with a covered bar area and built-in barbecue.

Back in 2000, the Jamaican-born two-time Grammy winner enjoyed great success with the hit “It Wasn’t Me,” off his multi-platinum studio album “Hot Shot.”

The 52-year-old married father of five is enjoying a bit of rebirth. During the Super Bowl in Tampa on Feb. 7, he’ll be featured in a Cheetos ad with Mila Kunis.

The ad will air in full on CBS during halftime, but Shag put a sneak peek on his Instagram. Fans will note Shaggy wears the same flashy purple jacket he wore in the video back in the day with rapper RikRok.

We can’t wait to be watching albeit from the couch this year.
