According to Billboard, Kanye bought his childhood home for around $225,000 last year. The house was purchased in the early 1980s by his late mother Donda West, and was sold in 2004.

Kanye West's manager said last week that he will "absolutely" release Donda after this week's listening party in Chicago.
