Report: Kanye West wants to buy Kim Kardashian an Atlanta home

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian could soon call Atlanta home, at least part time, according to a report in Hollywood Life.
“Kanye is secretly looking to buy Kim a nice little property in Atlanta so they can be really connected. He’s from Atlanta and loves his hometown and he’s looking at places in Buckhead for Kim,” the Hollywood Life story says, quoting a friend of Kanye’s.
Kim’s no stranger to Atlanta, having spent time here earlier this year to film some episodes of “Drop Dead Diva” as a guest star. She was spotted around town at restaurants including celeb-magnet STK in Midtown while she was here.
Kardashian also headed to Atlanta soon after announcing divorce plans following her ephemeral marriage to Kris Humphries. She was in town that time, serendipitously enough, to film a role in Tyler Perry’s movie “The Marriage Counselor.”

I wish they would bring back the projects (Bowen Homes, Capitol, Bankhead, etc); thing were better when they were concentrated in a few areas. Now they are everywhere, and more are coming.

I see a reality show in the forecast. Both them are media wh****. kanye’s a very talented artist but please leave Kim where she is. Why is everyone so obsessed with this girl. She’s beautiful of course, but what’s the obsession, there are million’s of beautiful females. We donnot fuss over celebrities here in Atlanta. Stay where you are kIm

Pretty sure she has more cash than him. Perhaps she should buy someone else something for a change.

Kanye was born in Atlanta (his dad even worked for AJC), but he was raised in Chicago since he was 3. I think he connects more with the Windy City.
Either way, welcome back!

Please move somewhere else. You insufferable morons.
Then again, they could save a metric crapload on their taxes by moving here. Your dollar goes a lot further here than in L.A.

Don’t fool yourself. Atlanta is a beautiful city with great weather and landscaping. I just wonder why Kimmie is so fascinated with men of color. Atlanta is too small for Kimmie and Kanye’s egos.
Really? This is news?

Why is this even a story? Hundreds move in and out of Atl every day. We really do not need any more people, we are kind of full. Just because these guys are rich and stars it shouldn’t mean a darned thing. They will just be more bodies to add to the already over populated metro area. I can’t tell you how much I avoid downtown, Gwinette(?) or even up in Kennessaw due to the awful traffic. I’d rather have each one of my toenails pulled out with pliers then drive in this crap.

Stupidness??? Do you mean stupidity? HA! I am obviously more educated, cause I can use this wondeful gadget called a computer to look up that she never taught at Southern, but at CAU, and also that she died in 2007 while she was his manager, not a professor. Moron…. and in my final opinion, having lived in a city for only 3 yrs, is not being “raised” there….

Kanye West was born in Atlanta, Georgia,[18] where he lived with his parents. When he was three years old, his parents divorced, and he and his mother moved to Chicago, Illinois.[19] His father was Ray West, a former Black Panther who was one of the first black photojournalists at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and is now a Christian counselor.[19] West’s mother, Dr. Donda West, was a Professor of English at Clark Atlanta University, and the Chair of the English Department at Chicago State University before retiring to serve as West’s manager. He was raised in a middle-class background, attending Polaris High School[20] in suburban Oak Lawn, Illinois after living in Chicago.[21] When asked about his grades in high school, West replied, “I got A’s and B’s. And I’m not even frontin’”.[22]
West attended art classes at the American Academy of Art in Chicago, and also enrolled at Chicago State University, but dropped out to focus on his music career.[23] While attending school, West produced for local artists. He later gained fame by producing hit singles for major hip hop/R&B artists, including Jay-Z, Talib Kweli, Cam’ron, Paul Wall, Common, Mobb Deep, Jermaine Dupri, Scarface, The Game, Alicia Keys, Janet Jackson, John Legend among others. He also “ghost-produced” for his mentor Deric Angelettie, according to his song “Last Call” and the credits of Nas’ “Poppa Was a Playa”.[23]
*****What gives Atlanta a bad name is the fact that there are so many negative, narrow minded people here. Every article that is debated always seem to turn into a racial issue. In 2012 that’s what gives Atlanta a BAD NAME******************Ooops unless it’s printed elsewhere it doesn’t say his mom taught at GA Southern either but I will ask my daughter since she attends GA Southern:=). Let’s all agree to disagree without the name calling. Gees.

Kanye is from Chicago, Illinois – he’s not from Atlanta! It would be terrible if Kanye and Kim lived in Atlanta. They need to live in NYC or Europe. They will hate the south because the south is STILL the south; there are a lot of transplants here but it’s STILL the south. Hell, the DOT just rejected a KKK bid to adopt a highway – STILL the south. Kimye, keep it moving up North!

Now there’s an idea we can all get behind.

Why would anyone with enough money and options actually choose to live in Atlanta?! There are too many other great American cities. Atlanta is humid, a giant suburb, no real culture, does not server as any type of major hub for a certain industry and has no major body of water.

People from Chicago or the mid-west always screaming how great Chicago is, but anyone with anything avoid “Chi-town” like the plague…What celebrity lives in Chicago. They skip over the windy city and head to NY or Cali.
The city looks like Chit once you leave the downtown area. Its the most segregated/corrupted city in the county- bar none.
