Kanye West Barricades His L.A. Home With 50-Foot Wall Amid Kim & Kompany Twitter Beef And Irina Shayk Romance

Kanye West is blocking out all the negativity – on social media and in real life.
Shortly after news broke that he had unfollowed his estranged wife Kim Kardashian and all of her famous siblings on Twitter, paparazzi snapped images of a plastic 50-foot wall surrounding the 44-year-old rapper's massive home in Los Angeles, California.
It's unclear whether the barricade was erected for protection from paps, burglars, nosey fans or soon-to-be ex-family members who may still have keys, but with Kanye, nothing is off the table.
The musician-turned-designer's odd display – as well as his decision to not keep up with the Kardashians' tweets (he still follows Kim on Instagram) – comes on the heels of his first public appearance with 35-year-old supermodel Irina Shayk, who he has been secretly dating for months.
Earlier this week, Kanye celebrated his birthday with Bradley Cooper's ex in the romantic region of Provence in southeastern France.
According to eyewitnesses, the two were seen smiling and walking around a luxury boutique hotel, looking very much like a couple.
On Wednesday, they returned back to United States, where they were photographed for the very first time together, solidifying their relationship status.
