With his new album BULLY (hopefully) coming sooner rather than later, fans thought that Ye would be extending his residence in Japan. However, it looks like he isn’t over the California lifestyle. He recently purchased a 35-million-dollar home in Beverly Hills, sitting on nearly seven acres of land with a gazebo, waterfall pool straight from a resort, and more. In true Ye fashion, though, his plans for his new crib go beyond just relaxing in the sun.
The city of DROAM is back?
As news of his recent purchase spread online, Ye confirmed it on his Instagram story by scribbling over the home and simply adding the word “DROAM.”
Last December, Ye first shared a press release about his idea of creating his own self-sustaining city in the Middle East called DROAM. Stating it was still in Phase 1 development, he said that the city would be over 100,000 acres of land and he needed everyone from engineers to project managers to join the team.
While his new property is only seven acres, it could still be a major achievement — if only his neighbors were on board.
Other homeowners in Ye’s new neighborhood of North Beverly Park told TMZ it would be a battle to get the community’s homeowners association to be on board with this idea. On top of that, he would have to spend millions just to get enough room.
Ye recently lost about 36 million dollars from the purchase and sale of his Malibu home after gutting and destroying it. Someone else might think twice before running that plan back, but once Ye has an idea, he’s going to stick with it till the wheels fall off. Hopefully, building a new city doesn’t delay the album process.
