Kanye West's Malibu Mansion Allegedly Planned as Toilet-Free Off-Grid Shelter

In a civil trial about Kanye West’s $57.3 million Malibu Tadao Ando house, a contractor’s lawyer says West wanted the home gutted into an off‑grid shelter with no plumbing or toilets, and even a ground-hole for waste. West’s team countered that the contractor slept on-site to finish the job and disputed the notion of a simple camping‑style family experience, noting the project involved removing marble and custom fixtures and led to the property being put back on the market.
