Kanye West has lowered the $53 million asking price to $39 million for the completely demolished Malibu property he is selling.

Less than four months after he first advertised the run-down property in the upscale beachside town, West, 46, modified the asking price earlier this week, TMZ said on Thursday.

The Carnival artist, who bought the home for $57 million in late 2021, is asking at least $18 million less than what he paid, after gutting the mansion in a troubled renovation attemptIn an attempt to sell the house late last year, the Grammy-winning musician—whose career has suffered as a result of a slew of anti-Semitic comments he’s made since the fall of 2022—brought Selling Sunset realtor Jason Oppenheim, 46, into the fold, the publication reported.

The distressed property in the upscale neighborhood may sell, Oppenheim told the source, comparing the house to ‘essentially a blank canvas’ for potential buyers.

According to TMZ, the property, which is more than 4,000 square feet in size and boasts four bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a roof with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, is without windows, walls, or a roof, and power.

The home, which encompasses more than 4,000 square feet, has four bedrooms and five bathrooms with idyllic views of the Pacific Ocean, but is missing windows, walls and a roof, and does not have electricityThe estate was previously unfit for a “shelter,” even though the Carnival artist had enlisted the services of renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando to help with the renovations. He purchased the property for $57 million in late 2021.

The property in the posh beach town of Southern California has been the source of several troubles, the most recent of which is the price drop.

Tony Saxon, the former remodel project manager, is suing West on the grounds that he was sacked for ‘expressing concerns about the high hazard’ of the project.

According to individuals who spoke with TMZ in September, West intended to convert the house into “a shelter from the 1910s” by taking out the windows and the power.

Saxon claims in his case, which was submitted to the Los Angeles County Superior Court, that he was employed in September 2021 and put in 16-hour workdays at the beach house.

Kanye West, 46, has reduced his asking price on a gutted Malibu mansion he's selling from $53 million to $39 million. Pictured in Milan, Italy in FebruaryWhile serving as the property’s “project manager, caretaker, and 24/7 security,” according to Saxon, he was sleeping on the floor.

According to Saxon, West only paid him for a single workweek and disregarded all of his complaints. In November 2021, Saxon claims he was fired for refusing to take down the house’s windows and electricity.

West suggested bringing the big generators inside the house, but Saxon was concerned that it would start a fire.

According to Saxon’s lawsuit, West then threatened him, claiming that if he didn’t carry out Kanye’s vision, he would be viewed as “an enemy.” According to the lawsuit, West instructed Saxon to “get out” when he didn’t agree.

Additionally, according to Saxon, West threatened to fire him and stop being a buddy, telling him that he would only be seen on television if he didn’t follow his instructions.

He was instantly fired from the position after telling the father-of-four that he doesn’t watch TV.

The Grammy-winning artist's career has dipped amid a torrent of anti-Semitic remarks he's made since the fall of 2022. Pictured in March in LAAccording to Saxon’s lawsuit, the rapper wаnted to turn the house into “a shelter from the 1910s,” tear down the marble bathrooms, and take off the windows, plumbing, and electricity, according to NBC News.

It is also said that he wаnted slides installed in place of the steps.

Saxon is suing West for damages, unpaid wages over $1 million, and several labor code breaches.

“We intended to dismantle everything and essentially construct him a Bat Cave,” Saxon clarified, adding that the rapper desired a location where he could “evade the Clintons and the Kardashians.”

Saxon eventually discovered that West genuinely desired to live in the house, even though Saxon had initially thought of it more as a “art project.”

West, he claimed, “wаnted no electricity.” All he wаnted was plants. All he wаnted was candles. All he wаnted were battery-operated lights. And all he wаnted was for everything to be black and open.
