The gutted-by-Ye house that has riveted readers the world over thanks to a slew of headlines in recent months may have found a new owner.

Indeed, as first claimed by the abode-based investigative arm of TMZ, the Malibu property in question has gone into escrow as of late last week, though it’s not currently clear how much the potential new owner is looking to hand over for the heavily headlined spot.

The four-bedroom home spans 4,000 square feet and was originally going for a reported $53 million. By April of this year, however, the Vultures artist formerly known as Kanye West had reportedly knocked off an estimated $14 million. Worth noting is that Ye, prior to the much-discussed gutting that was speculated to have complicated this potential sale, was first reported to have paid just over $57 million for the property back in 2021.

The space has also been at the center of legal developments in the Ye-iverse, including a lawsuit we reported on in September of last year in which an ex-employee alleged they were unfairly fired after expressing safety concerns about the ultimately-never-finished project.

As for what’s next for Ye and company, it appears as though the repeatedly delayed Vultures sequel could be arriving very soon, at least in some form. Wednesday, a message appeared on the official Yeezy site, reading, "All orders fulfilled. Vultures 2 coming Aug. 2."
