Rapper Kanye West has bought a mansion in Hidden Hills, California that's right across the street from his ex-wife, reality TV star Kim Kardashian. At the time, West said he has to be "next to my children as much as possible," which may explain the purchase of the home near Kardashian's.

The five-bedroom home is just over 3,650 square feet, and reportedly cost West $421,000 over the home's asking price. It includes a swimming pool and a stable for horses. The couple originally lived in Kardashian's house together, which West designed over a number of years. After the couple split, West gave his interest in the home to Kardashian.

This is one of several real estate transactions West has made in recent months. In September, the musician purchased a $53.7m beach house in Malibu.
