Kanye West is putting his highly unusual Malibu property on the market.

The rapper wants to sell his beachfront Malibu property for $53 million, which was $4 million less than he paid for. The price is largely slashed mainly due to a “gut renovation” West ordered.

The Malibu property will need to be completed with HVAC, interior finishes, doors, windows, and utilities that will need about several million dollars of renovations.

The house was designed by well-known architect Tadao Ando, and is one of the few houses he created.

West has several issues connected to the home. He was sued by a contractor in September who claimed he was forced to work 16 hours a day on the house and was fired for not ripping out the electrical system and replacing it with wire generators. He claimed this would be an illegal fire hazard.

West was reportedly trying to turn the property into a “bomb shelter.”

The house is currently being listed by the Oppenheim Group, which has been made famous by the Netflix series Selling Sunset.

West made headlines last week after his new single was accused of being antisemitic.
