Kanye West Real Name

Where Was He Born?

Kanye West real name is exactly the same. Most rappers can't get away with this in the entertainment industry. Normally there is an alias to portray a harder or street image.

His middle name is Omari and many people never knew or even hear that.

This rapper has had his fair share of exclusive media from almost dying in a car crash to ruining a very special Taylor Swift moment.

The big question in the streets is…Where Was Kanye West Born?

The answer is NOT Chicago, Illinois. He was raised in Chi-Town from the age of 3 years old after his parents divorced. Yeezy is a southern boy.

His birth place is none other than Atlanta, Georgia.

The super producer could have easily been in the ranks of Outkast, TI the rapper or Young Jeezy but he chooses to represent Chicago.
