Rapper Kanye West has reportedly purchased a home across the street from his estranged wife Kim Kardashian, in hopes of staying close to his family. A source close to the rapper confirmed People magazine that West paid a whopping USD 4.5 million for the "teardown."

The source added, "Kanye's new house is a teardown. He only bought it for the location. It's near Kim and the kids. He has a vision for the house and plans on starting construction ASAP. It will be family-friendly. He wants to be able to have the kids over as much as possible. Living only in Malibu was making visits trickier for Kanye."
