Kanye West, The Jesus Walks rapper – who shares North, eight, Saint, six, Chicago, three, and Psalm, two, with his ex – has just closed on the 3651 square-foot, 5-bedroom home in LA’s exclusive Hidden Hills and new reports from People state he is planning to demolish the home.
Insiders said: ‘Kanye’s new house is a teardown. He only bought it for the location. It’s near Kim and the kids. He has a vision for the house and plans on starting construction ASAP’, while other sources told The New York Post: ‘It’s just simple logistics so that he is close to his children and has access to them at the drop of a hat’.
Keeping close: The Jesus Walks rapper – who shares North, eight, Saint, six, Chicago, three, and Psalm, two, with his ex – has just closed on the 3651 square-foot, 5-bedroom home in LA ‘s exclusive Hidden Hills and new reports from People state he is planning to demolish the home
Kanye paid $4.5million for the property – $421,000 over the listed price – to ensure he wasn’t outbid and compared to the Malibu mansion he purchased in September for $57.3million, this one, built in 1955, is much more modest – making reports of a demolition far more understandable for the flash rapper.
The home sits on a 1.07 acre of land and the itself measures 3,651 square feet, while containing 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. His newest pad boasts a large outdoor swimming pool and a horse corral, plus a stable for three horses, but internally is in need of mayor renovation – which is now unneeded ahead of the reported demolition.
The purchase comes two months after he listed his $3.7 million, 4,200 square-foot, former bachelor pad in the gated community and just two weeks after Kim filed to be declared legally single.
Kanye’s purchase comes after he begged for his estranged wife Kim to ‘run back’ to him at his Larry Hoover benefit concert with Drake last week.
