‘Replica of his childhood home. Modular house of 900 m². Including both crosses from the tour.’
The auction will start in October.

TMZ reported that I spoke to someone from the company, who told them that the set has been in a warehouse in Chicago.
It is currently in several pieces, but the manufacturing company will reassemble it for the new owner for a fee.
The house was used for his listening parties in Miami and at Soldier Field in Chicago.
The 2021 Donda album is named after the rapper’s late mother, who died at the age of 58 from coronary artery disease and complications following cosmetic surgery in 2007.
Donda West was a civil rights activist and lifelong educator.
She was the former chair of the English Department at the University of Chicago before retiring in 2004 to work with her son.
Her death resulted in a new law, signed by then-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, requiring all patients to obtain medical clearance before undergoing elective cosmetic surgery.
Kanye lost several lucrative financial partnerships last fall after making some very public anti-Semitic remarks.
Gap, Balenciaga, his representatives at CAA, Foot Locker and Adidas all cut ties with him.
However, demand for some of its Yeezy products has remained steady.
Adidas reported that it had more than $425 million worth of inventory between April and June of this year, according to Adidas. BBC news.

A portion of the proceeds would go to charities that fight hate, such as the Foundation to Combat Anti-Semitism and the Anti-Defamation League.
Adidas reported that it had approximately $1.3 billion worth of Yeezy stock in storage after the company’s relationship with Kanye ended.
A cobbler executive argued that it was better to sell the inventory than to destroy it.
Adidas will continue to sell its remaining stock.
