Kanye West’s $2.2 million Calabasas ranch looked dilapidated and crumbling in shocking new photos of the sprawling property, nearly four years after the rapper boarded up the house in September 2020.
The Heartless hitmaker, 46, whose top Yeezy executive recently resigned due to the brand’s move into pornography, initially purchased the residence in 2018 and it was used for Sunday Service and his Donda Academy headquarters.
The star had also purchased an additional 300 acres surrounding the property for $4 million.
However, the latest images reveal that the house is still uninhabited and in disrepair, with one image showing a large hole in the main entrance, leaving debris and pieces of the roof scattered on the ground.
Roof tiles can be seen missing and falling off, while green plants and trees apparently grow too close to the front of the main house.

Parts of the concrete driveway are peeling, while one side of the property is partially hidden by a red covering.
A circular patch outside the house was bordered by a fence that also began to crumble and appeared to be the location of Ye’s domes that he had built.
The Yeezy Home dome shelters were built in an attempt to help the homeless in the Los Angeles area.
The area surrounding the main house on the property is unkempt with patches of dry grass and piles of dirt or sand.
Kanye bought the ranch while he was still married to his now ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, and their divorce was officially finalized in November 2022.
Last year, in February 2023, photographs showed that the property was already very dilapidated and, at that time, both the main house and the guest house were covered with partitions and fences.
The walls around the guesthouse were also torn down, leaving behind a chain-link fence with trash strewn around it.
Parts of the walls around the main building had also fallen, leaving gaps in the fence as the white fabric covering it began to fray.
A 4×4 tank was also seen on the property near the broken partition, as well as a barbecue smoker.
School paraphernalia such as drums and tricycles were also left behind from the days of Donda Academy.

West reportedly lived at the property with his then-model girlfriend Irina Shayk while converting the property into a bachelor pad while Kim Kardashian remained in her $60 million Calabasas mansion with her four children.
The property has a “stunning floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace, beautiful inlaid wood floors, enormous vaulted ceilings with open beams, and a spacious downstairs master suite with walk-in closet and spa-like bathroom.”
‘With two separate guest units, four-car garage, huge metal workshop or barn, corral and plenty of room for a pool or vineyard, this property will appeal to the equestrian, aspiring winemaker and automobile enthusiast alike.’
There are reportedly two guesthouses on the property with six bedrooms and seven bathrooms in total.
The pad is said to be located eight miles from the home he shared with Kim in the gated community of Hidden Hills.
The domes on the property, now gone, were 50-foot ‘Ye Ecosystems’.
West built the domes through the architecture arm of his Yeezy brand, called Yeezy Home, which he launched in 2018. “We’re looking for architects and industrial designers who want to improve the world,” he said at the time.
In an interview with Forbes A year later, the rapper showed off early versions of the domes, which he had conceived with a team of designers after being inspired by the fictional Star Wars planet Tatooine.
He planned to build lots of prefabricated structures as housing for the homeless, and even floated ideas of sinking them into the ground with light filtering through their roofs.
The rapper believed he could build entire cities with the pods and felt his “inspired” plans would allow them to pop up all over the United States.
While Kanye’s plans for the Calabasas ranch are currently unknown, the star has launched another strange business venture: Yeezy Porn.

The announcement was made last month in April and she will reportedly collaborate with Stormy Daniels’ ex-husband, Mike Moz.
Ye’s latest move sparked a backlash among spiritual fans, and Ye soon deleted his social media.
Moz spoke with TMZ in late April about the venture, explaining to the outlet, “I’ve been talking to Ye about a possible collaboration between the Yeezy brand and my team at Vixen Media Group.”
“While it’s too early to give details, I’m excited to see where Ye’s vision takes this,” he continued.
‘The idea that this project is going to be another porn studio is not correct. It won’t be like anything we’ve ever seen before.
More recently, West’s top Yeezy executive, Milo Yiannopoulos, resigned over the brand’s move into pornography, which he cited as “moral reasons.”
