Kanye West stops traffic in shiny all-chrome Mercedes-Maybach before heading to A$AP Rocky’s house

Kanye West stops traffic in shiny all-chrome Mercedes-Maybach before heading to A$AP Rocky’s house

Kanye West was driving in style on Friday when he took his all-chrome Mercedes-Maybach for a spin in Los Angeles — but it appears to have been a major headache for other drivers stuck behind him.

The 47-year-old rapper was pictured driving around the city in the shimmering silver luxury sedan — which he was seen with late last year after his ex-wife Kim Kardashian had previously driven one of the silvery vehicles — before he drove over to his friend A$AP Rocky’s home, according to TMZ.

Kanye appeared to be showing his support for his fellow rapper who is currently in the midst of a high-profile ᴀssault trial in LA, where his love Rihanna joined him in court.

However, on his drive to Rocky’s home, he and his bodyguards appear to have created a traffic jam for other drives to allow him to drive unimpeded.

PH๏τos tracking Kanye’s drive show West’s bodyguards apparently stopping their SUV’s to block two lanes of Sunset Boulevard.

The bodyguards kept cars from pᴀssing for well over a minute as the disgraced rapper drove on without anyone following him.

Driver’s couldn’t even get around the bodyguards’ vehicles, as they stopped next to each other at a section of the iconic road that featured double yellow lines separating the directions of traffic, as well as bollards designed to prevent vehicles from attempting to cross over. 

Drivers who were close enough to the start of the unnecessary jam to see how it started were reportedly upset and frustrated to see private vehicles blocking them for no clear reason.

Kanye appeared to spend much of the evening at A$AP Rocky’s home.

The younger rapper is on trial for two felony counts of ᴀssault with a firearm for allegedly shooting his former friend A$AP Relli in 2021.

Rocky has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and his partner Rihanna, with whom he shares two young children, has been supporting him at the courthouse in Downtown Los Angeles. 

Prior to heading to Rocky’s home, Kanye had been seen driving around LA with his manager, John Monopoly, and the two even visited a studio in West Hollywood, suggesting that the hitmaker may be working on new music.

His day in LA comes just after he and his wife Bianca Censori arrived in the US after an extended stay in Japan.

The two were spotted at Tokyo International Airport on Thursday, shortly before flying home.

Kanye’s time in Tokyo marked an extended period away from his family.

He shares four children with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian —  North, 11; Saint, eight; Chicago, seven; and Psalm, five — but he had previously not been seen with his children since September of last year.

However, earlier this month he and Bianca were seen spending time with his kids at a 7-Eleven in the Tokyo.

However, his daughter North wasn’t pictured with the group, and it’s unclear if she had joined him in Japan. 

Despite the two being almost inseparable, Bianca appeared to sit out Kanye’s trek around LA. 

While catching up with his pals, Kanye met up with A$AP Rocky’s cousin, fellow rapper and A$AP mob member A$AP Nast (real name: Tariq Devega).

Nast posted pH๏τos of himself and the Yeezus rapper hanging out on Instagram, though it wasn’t clear if they saw each other at Rocky’s house. 

Kanye was seen in the same outfit he wore around LA, a puffy white-and-gray jacket with red text over the chest, along with a white hoodie, a white graphic T-shirt, white jeans and black waxed leather boots.

The classically styled boots were a surprising choice, as the Flashing Lights rapper has primarily favored large rain boots and chunky designs made of synthetic materials in recent years.

He had lately displayed a particularly disheveled look with longer hair and a bushy beard, but he looked more clean cut with a buzzed hairdo and a closely trimmed beard.

‘i guess the money should of changed him,’ A$AP Nast captioned pH๏τos of himself and Kanye posing. ‘i guess of should of forgot where i came from.’

One pH๏τo featured Kanye snarling to show off his silvery fixed prosthodontics as he and Nast flashed their chains.
