Kanye West puts his mansion on sale after failing to convert it into a bomb shelter

Kanye West is trying to sell his beachfront house in Malibu, California for $53 million after destroying it while trying to turn it into a bomb shelter.

The $53 million he is seeking for the property is $4 million less than he bought it years ago before he started doing renovations.

The rapper initially forked out $57 million two years ago and has since gutted the structure, compelling him to sell it at a loss.

Kanye destroyed the property in a crazy bid to turn it into a bomb shelter.

He removed the finishing in the interior and gutted out other structures leaving the mansion to look like an empty shell next to other furnished beachfront houses.

Kanye removed all the windows and electricity from the home in an attempt to transform the space into a bomb shelter from the 1910s.

The mansion, featuring 4,000 square feet of interior space and roughly 1,500 square feet of outdoor living areas, is constructed of approximately 1,200 tons of concrete, 200 tons of steel reinforcement and 12 “massive” pylons driven more than 60 feet into the sand.

The mansion’s remodeling was abandoned midway and the project manager Tony Saxon sued Kanye West for several labor code violations, claimed in court docs that the controversial rapper demanded that all the windows and electricity be removed despite Saxon urging him against it.
