Kanye West is getting the hell out of dodge.According to published reports, the Grammy Award winning hip-hop music wunderkind has put his posh Beverly Hills home on the market ... only nine months after purchasing it.
No telling if the sudden death of his mother, Dr. Donda West, factored into the equation but the 'Touch the Sky' rapper's abode is up for sale.
The blog Real Estalker reports that the house that the six-bedroom house sits on a 0.79-acre lot, has four baths and is in what is called tear-down condition. The sale price of $8.699 million also includes plans to build a new house on the property.
West reportedly purchased the property in February for $7,150,000 but never moved in.
His beloved mother, who was to rest in Oklahoma on Nov. 20, died at an Los Angeles area hospital on Nov. 10 after undergoing cosmetic surgery the day before.

Certainly don't think Kanye West reads these blogs, but I would like to express my heartfelt sentiments and say I am really sorry for his loss. His mom I am sure was not only the love of his life, but his best friend in the world. I can only imagine the pain he has had to deal with inside, I feel for him as I lost both my mother and dad.
We never really know why things like this really happen. I hope that Kanye West stays strong to get through the times ahead, but most of all, my advice to Mr. West would be to Humble himself before Yah/God and to Always, no matter where he goes, what he does or what he accomplishes in life...
"BE HUMBLE IN ALL THINGS"
When we become arrogant and high minded in the things we say out of our mouths and do, I believe Yah/God sometimes has his own way of bringing us back down to reality.
My strong heartfelt advice to Kanye West is:
"Be Humble"
By being humble in all things, our father in heaven can elevate you to heights beyond what you could ever imagination in life!

Kanye is hurting in the worst way. Don't be shocked by anything he does in the next six months. He could clean out his closets or he may come out of one? Wordmasters shock the world to relieve the pain in their lives. Does it truly matter what Kanye does? Don't be surprised. He has a hole in his heart that can only be filled by a new love. Do you think he's going to get married? What girl can fill his Mother's shoes? Will they ever be good enough? Will they ever earn his respect? Coming out deals with a deeper pain, but that's totally up to him. Who knows what he will do? I'm not saying Kanye is. I don't care. Time will tell. In his prior statements, I think he doth protest too much. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and their preference. Kanye is hurting now and anything could happen. Stay tuned! I won't talk about you if I don't care. I love Kanye, but I'm not gay. Who wouldn't want to hang out with him?

this is misleading "No telling if the sudden death of his mother, Dr. Donda West, factored into the equation". This house was on the market before his mom passed. This was probably worded in this manner in order to pull more clicks but misleading none the less.

Kanye, Im sorry to hear about your mom.Eveyones lost is not the same. Your mother was and still is your heart. God will take great care of her while she is in his care. Stay strong young man and try not to be angry at God. We all have a pupose, and God has a reason even though we do not know what it is. He will still be by your side and he will not forget you.I Know you are very angry now and you really don't want to hear this, but it is true.So may God keep you and bless you, and make you strong. You will know when it is time.Only you will know the time.

Mr. Kayne I cant say I know what you are going through. But I do know that Jesus is the only one who can carry you, replace the pain and hurt, comfort you, and help you to get pass what you are going through. Prayer is the answer...Get to know Jesus... I will be praying for you and your family.
God Bless!!!
