Kanye West's Church Building in Los Angeles Under Arson Investigation

In the heart of Los Angeles, the abnormally quiet Northridge neighborhood becomes a hot spot as Kanye West's church building, owned by the rapper, goes up in flames in an event that now suspects arson.

October 2024 saw the once bustling church bust into an inferno, causing havoc for over 30 minutes before being contained to just one building. The investigation commenced shortly thereafter, spearheaded by the Los Angeles Fire Department[1].

The flames started at around 12:45 am on October 14, 2024. Suspicions arose as officials considered the possibility of a deliberate fire due to the locality of the blaze[1].

Curiously, the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety has inspected the area twice, first in January and again in March. Remarkably, these inspections were unpaid for by West[1][2]. Consequently, two liens have been imposed on the property he bought for $1.5 million back in January 2023[2].

The burned-down building was potentially earmarked for Kanye's controversial Donda Academy, which is now closed, or maybe another Yeezy venture[1].

West's neglect of his properties doesn't stop there. The $6.7 million building on Melrose Avenue, intended as his Yeezy headquarters, has also been left wanting[1].

He owes taxes not only on the condemned property but also on several condos and a house in Calabasas, CA following his divorce from Kim Kardashian. Failure to settle the payments could lead to the forfeiture of these properties[2].- The Gold Digger rapper made headlines when he questioned the legitimacy of a cease and desist letter reported by TMZ, allegedly sent to his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. In the letter, she was accused of various misdeeds involving their children[2].- Controversy continued to haunt West after the release of Heil Hitler (Hooligan Version) on May 5, 2025, the 80th anniversary of VE day. The repeated use of the slur "n*gga, heil Hitler" stirred controversy and furthered tensions in the wake of the church fire scandal[3].Sources:1. The US Sun2. Daily Mail3. TMZ
