Kanye West’s replica of his childhood home used for his Donda listening parties is up for auction
Kanye West’s childhood home is headed for the auction block — sort of.
The rapper, 46, who is currently in Italy with his ‘wife’ Bianca Censori, is selling the replica of the house he had made for his Donda concerts.
‘Own the original house used in Kayne West’s 2022 Donda 2 Tour!’ the listing at The Levy Recovery Group reads.
‘Replica of his childhood home. 900 sq. ft. modular house. Includes both crosses from the tour.’
The auction is set to begin in October.

TMZ reported speaking to someone at the company, who told them the set has been sitting in a warehouse in Chicago.
It is currently in several different pieces, but the production company will put it back together for the new owner, for a fee.
The house was used for his listening parties in Miami and at Chicago’s Soldier Field.
The 2021 Donda album was named after the rapper’s late mother, who died due at 58 to coronary artery disease and complications after cosmetic surgery in 2007.
Donda West was a civil rights activist and lifelong educator.
She was the former chair of the English department at the University of Chicago, before she retired in 2004 to work with her son.
Her death resulted in a new law, signed by then-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, which requires all patients to receive a medical clearance before undergoing elective cosmetic surgery.
Kanye lost several lucrative financial partnerships last fall after making some very public antisemitic remarks.
Gap, Balenciaga, his representatives at CAA, Foot Locker and Adidas all cut ties with him.
However, the demand for some of his Yeezy products has remained steady.
Adidas reported it had sole more than $425 million worth of the inventory it still had in stock between April and June of this year, according to BBC News.

Some of the proceeds are supposed to go to charities that fight hate, such as the Foundation to Combat Anti-Semitism and the Anti-Defamation League.
Adidas reported having about $1.3 billion worth of Yeezy stock sitting in storage after the company’s relationship with Kanye ended.
An executive at the shoemaker argued it was better to sell the inventory than to destroy it.
Adidas will continue to sell off its remaining inventory.
