Kanye West's Yeezy housing project in Calabasas, LA, could be brought to a halt after the rapper failed to obtain the correct permits.
TMZ have shared a video of the dome-structures that have been erected on his 300-acre estate in Calabasas.
The Yeezy housing project was laucnhed by Kanye West last year as an experiment aimed at low income/homeless people.
His dome structures look quite similar to the huts on Tattooine from Star Wars.
According to TMZ, West wouldn't need building permits if the structures were temporary, but upon two inspections by the L.A. County Dept. of Public Works, they deemed the structures permanent.
Kanye West has until 15 September to gain the correct permits, otherwise the structures will be torn down.
