LOS ANGELES. CA. (THECOUNT) — Kanye West is moving to Chicago, but will also maintain residency in California, TMZ is reporting.

West made the announcement Monday at a Windy City event with Chance the Rapper, saying, “I gotta let y’all know that I’m moving back to Chicago and I’m never leaving again.”

Sources close to Kanye say he and Kim have already found a home in Chi-Town and that’s where we know he wants to establish his permanent residence, but they are keeping all of their properties in L.A. Tmz says, West will move his Yeezy offices from Calabasas to Chicago.

In addition to the house they just built, they have multiple properties in L.A., including 300 acres that Kanye is developing, and that project is still a go.

The move has nothing to do with West fleeing Los Angeles, where he lives with Kim Kardashian West and their 3 kids, reports say.

It’s a little confusing, but we’re told Kanye views it this way … that he will have a home base in Chicago, but apparently he believes he can have more than one home base.

You’ll recall … Kanye launched Donda’s House — named after his mom — in Chicago in 2013. It’s a place for artists to develop their skills and collab with others, reports TMZ
