As Kanye West wades through a controversy-filled life, his legacy seems to be at a dwindling point. While working on his album in Italy, the ‘Graduation’ rapper’s questionable actions were shunned by locals. Then, his $57 million worth of property in Malibu landed him in trouble over serious labor violation allegations. However, these burdens have not slowed him down. Yesterday, he sauntered into the Milan Fashion Week in black hues and his signature nonchalance. 

With the Malibu Mansion in ruins, the team behind his Donda’s House charity honored his legacy at his late mother’s house’s doorstep back in his hometown

Earlier today, the man who once built the Yeezy brand with Kanye West from scratch, Steven Smith, shared an image via his Instagram page. In it, he and two others could be seen posing on the staircase outside Donda’s House: the Chicago home where Ye spent his childhood with his mother. Beside Smith was West’s charity’s co-founder and childhood friend, Che Armond Smith or Rhymefest. Also present was Chicago Don C, the 46-year-old’s former manager and old pal. 

The home which completed reconstruction in June this year was reportedly bought back by Ye in 2020 for $225,000. After injecting a bunch of reconstructions, it now stands brand-new again. Often brought up by the rapper and also seen in his music videos, the 1,600 sq. ft abode holds much sentimental value for West. After all, it was where he spent the majority of his time with his beloved mother.

Meanwhile, the ‘Gold Digger’ rapper’s Malibu property withers away out of his sight.

Kanye West vacations in Milan while Malibu mansion rots

Yesterday, West made headlines for impressing the Milan Fashion Week attendees with his all-black fits. However, just one day before, the $500 million worth artist was sued yet again. This latest lawsuit came among a myriad of others that he is facing due to alleged misdoings while trying to construct a bomb shelter in Malibu. Now left unattended, the beach-front Malibu property which was mid-construction seems to be crumbling away.

In some images that surfaced earlier, a wall of the unfinished structure had fallen through too! Even so, the 24-time Grammy winner is no stranger to rising again from the ashes. His team’s presence at Donda’s House in Chicago seemed almost symbolic of the comeback he was preparing to make. Despite all his controversies, fans’ eagerness to hear new music from him has surely not gone down.
