- Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from Kanye West back in February 2021.
- The 44-year-old rapper has been desperately trying to get her back ever since.
- His latest move was to buy a house directly across the street from Kardashian’s home.
Kanye West, as the kids say, is down bad. With his ex-wife Kim Kardashian now dating Saturday Night Live star, sentient Staten Island ghoul, and “B.D.E” originator Pete Davidson, the 44-year-old Donda rapped has reportedly bought a house right across the street from Kardashian’s home in Calabasas, California.
Now, to be fair to Kanye, the reason that he reportedly bought the home is that so he could be close to his children and have them over as often as possible, which is what any good father would do. But because this is 2021 and social media, for better or for worse, still exists, Kanye was instantly turned into a meme. And, like usual, the memes are absolutely glorious.

According to the source, the 44-year-old rapper purchased the home for a whopping $4.5 million — putting down more than $400,000 for the house that initially was listed for $4,079,000.
The source called the home, built in 1955, a “teardown,” and added the deal was made solely to be in close proximity to Kardashian West, 41, and their children. [via People]
Kanye’s purchase comes just a few weeks after he publically begged Kardashian to return to him during his Free Larry Hoover concert with Drake at the LA Memorial Coliseum on December 9.
West dedicated his hit song “Runaway” to Kardashian, singing the lyrics, “I need you to run right back to me, baby. More specifically, Kimberly.”
West and Kardashian were married for seven years — the pair got married in 2014 after dating for two years — until Kim K. filed for divorce back in February of 2021. Kanye has put on a full-court press in the months since trying to get her back, as he even recently said that God will bring the pair back together.
“[But] when God —who has already won and is so — brings Kimye together, there’s gonna be millions of families that are going to be influenced and see they can overcome the work of the separation, of trauma the devil has used to capitalize to keep people in misery while people step over homeless people to go to the Gucci store,” West said back in November.
Say what you will about Kanye, but the man is clearly in love, and that’s something to be respected. How he handles that love, though, is another story entirely.
