Kanye West recently bought a new mansion in the same neighbourhood as estranged wife Kim Kardashian following their split, for $4.5 million.
While some thought the 44-year-old rapper’s behaviour was slightly out the ordinary, especially so soon after the couple split, the Yeezy designer has opened up as to why – and it makes a lot of sense.
In a teaser clip for Hollywood Unlocked with Jason Lee, Kanye revealed the reason he moved was to be as close as possible to his four children, North eight, Saint, six, Chicago, three and two-year-old Psalm, as he knows first hand what it was like not to see both his parents when he was growing up.

An insider previously shared: “[Kim] wants Kanye to be a big part of the kids’ lives. [He] will be invited to all holidays and family celebrations.”
Kim filed for divorce in February in 2021, six years after the former couple tied the knot.
It has been reported the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star paid Kanye $23 million for his share of the Hidden Hills property they had previously bought together.
Kim has since moved on with boyfriend Pete Davidson, while Kanye has been cosying up with Julia Fox.
