Kanye West Purchases Childhood Chicago Home For $225K
Kanye West recently purchased his childhood home in Chicago for about $225,000, as Billboard reports. The residence is located on the Windy City’s South Shore neighborhood, according to a local news station, WGN9.
In the early 1980s, Ye’s late mother, Donda West, bought the house and later sold it in 2004. The residency reportedly went through foreclosure prior to West’s former collaborator, Rhymefest’s purchase of the home. The rapper had planned to turn the abode into an “arts incubator.”
However, Rhymefest, West, and Kim Kardashian got into a I have and will always applaud any efforts to give back to the community. To fight for justice and to help uplift the youth. But I will never tolerate someone who was close to Kanye who attempts to use his late mother’s name to publicly shame him while pretending to do good.
