Kanye West's burned-down church building subject of arson probe
Share this @internewscast.com

Kanye West appears to be ignoring his large real estate holdings in Los Angeles and one of them is now the subject of an arson probe.

A church building owned by the rapper in the Northridge area burned down in October 2024 and investigators have been suspicious since then. 

The Los Angeles Fire Department is looking into the blaze which began around 12:45 am on October 14, 2024, according to The US Sun. 

The fire, which firefighters managed to extinguish in roughly 30 minutes, was isolated to a single structure, leading officials to suspect it may have been intentionally started.

The outlet also reported the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety has inspected the location twice, once in January and again in March.

West, aged 47, has not settled the fees for the inspections, resulting in two liens being placed on the property he acquired for $1.5 million in January 2023 from the neighboring Cornerstone Christian Church.

The building was expected to be a possible location for his controversial Donda Academy, which has now been closed, or perhaps another Yeezy location.  

The Can’t Tell Me Nothing artist has also neglected other buildings he owns, including the $6.7 million building he bought on Melrose Avenue, which was intended to be his Yeezy headquarters.

Taxes on that building, along with several condos and a house he bought in Calabasas, CA following his divorce from Kim Kardashian, all have taxes due, totaling into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. 

If those taxes and the fines being accrued are not paid, the rapper could lose those properties. 

This information comes as the Gold Digger rapper said a cease and desist letter allegedly sent to ex-wife Kim Kardashian, 44,  and reported on by TMZ, was a hoax. 

In the disputed missive, the sender claimed the reality star was not allowing him access to their children, North, 11; Saint, 9; Chicago , 7; and Psalm, 5, while also accusing her of  leaving North unattended in a car while she entered the Met Gala on Monday. 

DailyMail.com has reached out to Kardashian’s and West’s reps for comment.

In the meantime, West is facing backlash after the release of his most recent single, Heil Hitler (Hooligan Version).

The song was released on Thursday, which also happened to be the 80th anniversary of VE day, marking the allied forces WWII victory over the Nazis.

In the lyrics, West rapped that he had ‘so much anger’ inside of him adding: ‘these people took my kids from me and they froze my bank account.’

He claimed that be became a Nazi because of his custody battle, singing: ‘With all of my money and fame I still don’t get to see my children / N*****s see my Twitter but they don’t see how I be feeling / So I became a Nazi, yeah b***h, I’m the villain.’

The line, ‘N****r, heil Hitler’ is repeated 15 times in the song.

Sources close to Kardashian told DailyMail.com that she is now taking extra precautions and has hired guards to be with her 24/7 amid his erratic behavior.

The reality star has also told relatives to be careful sharing anything about her children online, the source revealed.

The Skims founder has reportedly instructed her closest allies not to post about their locations or upload photos or messages that could identify where they might be.

‘She’s absolutely horrified,’ the source told the Daily Mail. ‘Like every time things get bad with Kanye, somehow they get worse.’
