Report Notes Ye Selling His Malibu Mansion Because Walls Are Gray
The home was designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando.
According to reports, Ye is now selling his Malibu mansion because the walls are gray.” Still in the middle of renovations, Ye put the home on the market for $53 million USD, despite purchasing it for $57 million USD back in 2021.
“Ye prefers earth tones, muddy colors from silt to loam but never too cold and nothing visually draining like a clay,” said a source. “Architects and designers working for Ye have in the past been dispatched to collect soil samples from the UK, France and elsewhere as color references for his iconic looks.”
Adding, “Unfortunately, the concrete settled into more of a cadet gray and he was hoping for a warmer tone, more of dovetail gray or coachman’s cape. Ye would only visit the house at sunrise and sunset, when he said the color didn’t irritate him so much. Eventually, he stopped going altogether.”
Originally designed by Tadao Ando, upon purchasing the Malibu mansion Ye designed to take out the walls, doors, windows, and plumbing to achieve a minimalist design. It is also interesting to note that the home is in the middle of a lawsuit between Ye and former contractor Tony Saxon. Saxon is suing for labor code violations, $1 million USD in unpaid wages, and damages, noting that he served as “project manager, caretaker, and 24/7 security.” Also sharing that Ye “wanted no electricity. He only wanted plants. He only wanted candles. He only wanted battery lights. And he just wanted to have everything open and dark.”
