Kanye’s new house
Legit.ng previously reported that the rapper and fashion designer spent billions on a house near the Hidden Hills mansion.
Kanye splurged N23.5 billion on a new home in Malibu. The unique house, described as a piece of art, resembles a military bunker built with lots of concrete and reinforced steel.
The four-bedroom house overlooks the Pacific Ocean and is 30 minutes away from the Hidden Hills house he built with Kim Kardashian.
Aside from his latest acquisition, Kanye owns a ranch in Wyoming and his childhood home in Chicago.
However, he recently put up the ranch for sale.
