American rapper and record producer Kanye West and American media personality, Kim Kardashian may have become ex-couple but there is surely some other connection that can be expected.

However, netizens and fans are doubting that Kanye had taken this upfront step for co-parenting his children well.

Kanye’s new home was built in 1955 and with four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a guest studio next to the garage with another room and bath. There’s also rumored to be wall-to-wall carpeting and an ’80s atmosphere, so Kanye is likely to renovate.
