Abandoned

Kanye West’s $1.5 Million Church Left In Disarray After Just 9 Months

by

Earlier this year, Kanye West purchased a $1.5 million plot of land where the Cornerstone Christian Church stood in Los Angeles. When the purchase was first made back in March he seemed to insinuate that his original plan was to move his Donda Academy into the building. But with the Academy subject to numerous lawsuits for its various safety hazards and reported occupational discrimination, those plans never materialized.

Kanye West recently returned to LA after spending a controversial few months around Europe where he got into trouble numerous times. But since being back in California he hasn’t taken the chance to revisit the church he bought back in March. The building itself is reportedly in a state of total disarray and has been abandoned since earlier this year. Pictures of the building show boarded-up windows and trash discarded all around the premises. It’s unclear at the moment if West has any plans for the building going forward. Check out the pictures of the church at the link below.

Kanye West Abandons Yeezy HQ, Building Full Of Graffiti As Homeless Camp Outside: Report

by

Based on what Kim Kardashian had to say about her ex-husband’s living situation on a recent episode of her reality series, we’re guessing that Kanye West has only become more humble with age. The multi-talent will likely always carry himself with confidence thanks to the way his late mother, Donda, raised him, but after he and Kardashian went their separate ways, Ye has been spending plenty of time in hotels, or at the cozy apartment he rents. The socialite claims her kids prefer to spend their time in the rapper’s smaller space than at the massive family compound, leaving her notably confused.

It seems his family home isn’t the only space the Chicago-bred creative has left behind in this chapter of his life. According to The Sun, his Los Angeles Yeezy Headquarters now has graffiti on the outside walls. Meanwhile, local homeless people are now sleeping in their tents on the sidewalk nearby, though it’s unclear if they’re the ones responsible for the street art surfacing.

Kanye West’s Attention Remains Focused on Music as Yeezy HQ Sits Unused

Sources close to Ye tell the outlet that Yeezy HQ was mostly for “secret fashion events, the odd Sunday Service performance, and private movie nights.” It was always recognized as a “multi-purpose venue” rather than a store and was part of West’s attempt to relaunch his fashion brand with assistance from American Apparel founder Dov Charney. The 46-year-old continues to pay rent on the building, and some employees still make use of the space. For the most part, though, “unfinished wooden structures and debris” are all that lies inside.

Kanye West is the kind of creative who pours every ounce of energy he has into the task at hand. Because of this, it’s understandable that the father of four is putting his fashion endeavours on hold to focus on his highly anticipated album with Ty Dolla Sign. It seemed as though the project might’ve been cancelled after some mixed subliminal messages were detected on social media, however, the R&B star has since confirmed the joint LP is “coming real soon.” Read everything we know about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Kanye West’s $2.2M L.A. Home Looks Abandoned In New Pictures

by

Kanye West’s Los Angeles ranch, originally worth $2.2 million, showed signs of significant wear in new pictures. Moreover, it seems the Chicago rapper left the property quite vacant and with not much upkeep following his divorce from Kim Kardashian. While the ranch also served as his Sunday Service and Donda Academy HQ, he boarded up the house in 2020. Their divorce finalized last November, and it seems the property’s been out of use in that time. Given that both parties are moving on in their lives, this ranch is a bit of a sad marker of what’s changed over the years.

Furthermore, Ye built partition walls around the property’s main and guest houses. Now, it seems someone took down some of those structures, leaving just a wire fence surrounded with trash. Some parts of the walls also fell naturally, and gaps in the fencing might explain the rubbish here and there. The white fabric covering the fence began to fray. Also, photographers spotted a 4×4 tank by the openings, plus a barbecue smoker. In addition, many props and school materials from Donda Academy scattered across the property like drums and trikes.

Reportedly, the “Yikes” artist lived in the L.A. ranch with his then-girlfriend as he converted it to a bachelor pad. Ye bought the luxury destination in 2018, spanning 1.25 acres. It includes two guest houses according to reports, and is eight miles away from his former home with Kim. Meanwhile, she kept their $60 million Calabasas mansion with their four children. Also, in their divorce settlement, Kanye gave his ex a $4.5 million home in Southern California, and she now owns the five-bedroom property.

Moreover, the Yeezy mogul said he bought that house to be closer to his family, but Kim’s expected to tear it down for renovations. In addition, she kept the rights to the $60 million home next door plus some property in Idaho. On his end, Kanye owns a $60 million Malibu destination, some ranches in Wyoming, and 300 acres in Calabasas. Also, he owns a Belgium home and the house that raised him in Chicago. As always, come back to HNHH for the latest on Kanye West and the aftermath of his divorce from Kim Kardashian.
