Lil Wayne -- Get Off My Yard! I'm Moving to Get Privacy

It's no coincidence Lil Wayne put his Miami Beach home on the market less than a month after he was the victim of a series of pranks ... it's actually the sole reason he's selling.

According to our sources, Weezy feels his privacy has been utterly compromised because he feels like everyone in America knows where he lives.

Even before his estate made national headlines -- for a swatting prank, a random prostitute at his door, and a random guy hanging around outside -- we're told there had been several cases of strangers getting too close for comfort.

We're told Wayne feels like his mansion has become a sort of mecca for obsessed fans, and he wants out.

So anyone who's got $18 million and is in the market for a 15,000 sq. ft. home with a storied recent past ... well, you know where to go.
