Kanye West’s 4000-square-foot Malibu property is up for grabs. The Yeezy mogul has set the four-bedroom house up for sale because he is reportedly unhappy with the colour of the walls.
According to an exclusive report by Daily Mail, Kanye West has put the property up for sale because the walls are the wrong shade of grey. The rapper bought the Malibu mansion in 2021 for $57 million. The sea-view apartment was renovated by Japanese architect, Tadao Ando.
West has pulled down the walls, doors, windows, and plumbing to achieve a different aesthetic. Daily Mail quoted a source saying, “Ye prefers earth tones, muddy colors from silt to loam but never too cold and nothing visually draining like a clay.”
The source also revealed that Kanye had visited the house during sunrise and sunset to see if he could get used to the colour. The source added, “Unfortunately, the concrete settled into more of a cadet gray, and he was hoping for a warmer tone, more of dovetail gray or coachman’s cape.” Kanye has abandoned the renovation project and has now put the house on sale.
Kanye’s former contractor, Tony Saxon, has revealed that he worked 16 hours a day to work on the house. He mentioned that he slept on the floor and worked round the clock to make sure he brought his vision to life. West wanted a house that looked like a bomb shelter from the 1900s.
Saxon has sued the rapper for labor code violations and has asked for more than a million in unpaid wages and damages. He also added that he was fired from his job in 2021 and that Kanye had ignored safety concerns as well.
