Kanye West Backs Out of a $14 Million Miami Apartment for Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian wasn’t too thrilled about the $14 million Miami luxury condo that Kanye West bought her for Christmas, and so the rapper is now in the awkward position of having to pull out of the purchase. According to Page Six, the stunning 4,700-square-foot beachfront apartment recently returned to the market after West backed out of the deal, for which he laid down a $600,000 deposit.

He had originally bought it for Kardashian as a surprise after seeing it during Art Basel, but according to the report, the purchase is now a no-go; as a result, West will lose his six-figure deposit—but, thankfully, not a penny more. While reports point toward Kardashian’s discontent, West is spinning a different narrative, blaming his decision on “leaks” surrounding the sale. Insiders said that this reasoning doesn’t make sense, given that West was quite public about his purchase. He was hounded by paparazzi when he showed up at the “billionaire beach bunker” and even brought along an entourage and a film crew while checking out the property.
