Kanye West announced he’s moving back to Chicago, but what about Kim and the kids?
The winds of change seem to be blowing Kanye West back to his hometown, the windy city of Chicago.

At an event hosted by Chance the Rapper, West announced that he’s got quite a few new initiatives underway. The G.O.O.D music exec told a group of Chicago high schoolers that he plans to move back home for good.
“I’ve got to let you all know, that I’m moving back to Chicago,” he says in a video obtained by TMZ, “and I’m never leaving again.”
That surprise announcement got the crowd amped up and chanting: “Kanye! Kanye! Kanye! Kanye!”
But has he talked to his wife Kim Kardashian at all? Asking for a friend.
West currently resides in Calabasas, California, with his wife and their children, North, 5, Saint, 2½, and 9-month-old Chicago. No word on if the whole family plans to make the big move too.
West dropped a few surprises on the crowd. The Ye rapper said that he’s also working on an album collaboration with Chance.
“It’s called Good Ass Job.” He also shared a text message screenshot of a recordable disc drive titled Yandhi and dated 9/29/18.
Even though he tweeted last week that he might also be cooking up a plan to be a visiting professor at the Art Institute of Chicago, the school has denied it.
“I will teach a course at the Art Institute of Chicago and the American Academy of Art.”

However, the school begged to differ.
“We’re flattered that Mr. West would have an interest in teaching emerging artists and designers at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. However, Mr. West is not currently teaching at SAIC, and at this time, there are no plans for him to do so,” Bree Witt, the school’s public relations director, told The Chicago Tribune.
There are however, political aspirations in West’s masterplan.
