Kanye West Loses His Luxury Vehicle In Embarrassing Scene After Diddy Backlash
The controversial rapper has been on the receiving end of fans' wrath after he showed support for , who is on trial for sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
West appeared at the New York courthouse, where the case is ongoing. Now, days later, a six-figure asset was taken away with no explanation.
On Tuesday, West's custom Maybach vehicle was seized in the parking lot of the Château Marmont. The Donda Academy founder is a regular at the 5-star hotel where A-listers in Hollywood often reside.
Photos taken and shared online show the chrome-plated luxury vehicle being placed on the back of a tow truck and taken away. One hotel staff member could be seen standing by while the Maybach was being strapped onto the truck.
The reason behind the seizure remains unknown. However, the Daily Mail reports that the Château Marmont is known for having a limited parking space problem.
It could have been an illegal parking situation or a more serious issue, such as repossession of the luxury vehicle, which is reportedly worth around $450,000.
West's camp is yet to address the incident, and the towing company hasn't responded to requests for comments.
Hours after the incident, West received an unlikely visitor in the person of Christian Combs.
The son of disgraced rapper Diddy was photographed with his entourage outside the Château Marmont. Per the publication, the 27-year-old looked in good spirits, donning a red shirt with camouflage three-quarter shorts.
In one image, Christian was seen making a call, but West was not pictured during the meeting.
Amid his vocal support for the Bad Boys Records founder, Ye often offers public encouragement to Diddy's son. The pair seems to have formed a bond, sharing a hug outside the courthouse last week.
In the March 2025 song, "Lonely Roads Still Go To Sunshine," the incarcerated rapper appreciated West for his support, saying:
"I just wanna thank you so much for just taking care of my kids, man. 'Cause ain't nobody reach out to me."
West backed his support with action when he unexpectedly showed up at Diddy's sex trafficking trial last Friday.
Causing quite the scene, he arrived with Christian, dressed in an all-white ensemble and black sunglasses. Ye, as he is fondly called, even stopped to shake hands with a fan before heading inside the Manhattan federal courthouse.
When asked by reporters if he was there to support Diddy, the former husband of Kim Kardashian answered "yes." Unfortunately, West was restricted to watching the trial on a TV screen in one of the overflow rooms.
According to reports, the "Gold Digger" rapper wasn't listed among the approved names of Diddy's family and friends allowed to be in the trial. It seems that prompted him to leave the court less than an hour after his arrival.
West's unexpected appearance sparked backlash, with 50 Cent being one of the most vocal critics.
The "Candy Shop" rapper, known for his trolling expertise, shared an A.I. image mocking the Yeezy founder. Trying to imitate West's outfit, the doctored image showed 50 Cent in an all-white suit ensemble.
In the accompanying caption, 50 Cent took a jab at his colleague's wife, Bianca Censori, referencing the obscene outfit she wore to the Grammys.
"We are wearing white in honor of the freak offs. Damn Ye, you should have brought your dirty little wife with that Grammys outfit! @50centaction," it read.
Before West's New York appearance, he had been holed up at a high-end wellness facility in Mallorca, Spain, sources say.
As The Blast reported, the "Can't Tell Me Nothing" artist and Censori have been retreating at The Balance Rehab Clinic for a reported fee of $170,000 per week.
The luxury wellness center is described as "a safe haven where you can find recovery, peace, rest, and happiness" on its official website.
Insiders say the couple's stay is linked to a wrongful termination lawsuit filed against West by former employee Benjamin Provo.
"He's bleeding money and credibility," a source alleged. "He needs to prove to fans and the corporate partners he has left that he was off his rocker when spewing such filth and going to rehab seems like just what the doctor ordered – literally."

Historian Won't Back Down at Prince Harry Legal Threat But Makes Key Change
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Stories about Prince Harry getting into a fist fight with Prince Andrew have not been removed from a biography despite Harry saying it never happened, the author told Newsweek. Historian Andrew Lownie's new book Entitled charts the rise and fall of Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson with eye popping details about Jeffrey Epstein, mistreatment of staff and more. Yet it was a few passages about Prince Harry that wound up giving publisher William Collins, an imprint of Harper Collins, a legal headache after the book suggested Harry gave Andrew a bloody nose in a fist fight in 2013. The book also suggested Andrew said Meghan Markle was an "opportunist" and told Harry marrying her was a mistake. Meghan Markle sits with Prince Harry and Prince Andrew during the Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey, in London on March 11, 2019. Meghan Markle sits with Prince Harry and Prince Andrew during the Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey, in London on March 11, 2019. Kirsty Wigglesworth -Why It Matters Harry strongly denied the account and, as revealed by Newsweek, sent a legal letter to the Daily Mail, which serialized the book, as well as the publisher. What To Know Lownie told an upcoming episode of Newsweek's The Royal Report podcast: "Harry wasn't in my book at all. And I think when the book came in, the publisher said, maybe just out of interest, what was the relationship between Andrew and Harry? "So I went to my source and they gave me that little paragraph talking about the two altercations in 2013 and then over Megan in 2017. And I put it in and I didn't think any of us thought that it was anything but a sort of passing moment. "I mean, I don't remember the lawyers even raising it but clearly he took umbrage at the suggestion that he had defended his wife's honor and instead of just asking for a correction or anything, sent off legal letters to Harper Collins, my publishers. "I had to double down with my source and make sure it was accurate, which we believe it is. Collins have responded in a responsible way, they've added a line actually, and I recorded the line for the audiobook a couple of days ago, just saying that Harry denies these allegations. And I I hope that will be the end of it. "I mean, I don't think it's defamatory. I think it actually presents him in quite a positive light and certainly there was no desire to cause offense. It was just a sort of reflection." What Prince Harry's Camp Said After the book was serialized in the Daily Mail earlier in August, Harry's team told Newsweek: "Such are the gross inaccuracies, damaging and defamatory remarks made in the Daily Mail's story, I can confirm a legal letter from Prince Harry's counsel has been sent to the Mail." An earlier statement, also sent to Newsweek, read: "I can confirm Prince Harry and Prince Andrew have never had a physical fight, nor did Prince Andrew ever make the comments he is alleged to have made about the Duchess of Sussex to Prince Harry." What Happens Next The book was released on Thursday and time will tell whether Prince Harry does file a lawsuit. Jack Royston is chief royal correspondent for Newsweek, based in London.

WWE star Logan Paul, model Nina Agdal married in extravagant Italy wedding
WWE star Logan Paul and model Nina Agdal got married during a ceremony in Lake Como, Italy, on Friday, according to a video shared by his younger brother, Jake, on Instagram. It marked a return to the area where Paul proposed in July 2023, which was just over a year after the couple was spotted at a restaurant in London with friends. And the ceremony that, according to TMZ, was officiated by Mike Majlak — the 'Impaulsive' podcast co-host — caused Jake to become emotional, as he captioned the video with, 'I've seriously been crying.' Advertisement 4 Logan Paul and Nina Agdal were married Friday. Screengrab via Instagram 4 Nina Agdal and Logan Paul are pictured at their wedding Friday. Screengrab via Instagram Paul and Agdal welcomed their first child, Esmé, in September 2024, and she was in attendance at the ceremony, too, along with Jake and his fiancée, Jutta Leerdam. During the ceremony, Paul donned a white jacket, a black bow tie and black pants, and the pair of couples posted for a photo afterward. Advertisement Paul and Agdal were spotted in Cernobbio on Wednesday paddling separate canoes and swimming, and Paul also shared a series of photos and videos — including one of the couple practicing their dance for the ceremony — to reveal that it was his 'wedding week.' 4 Logan Paul, Nina Agdal, Jutta Leerdam and Jake Paul are pictured at the wedding ceremony. Screengrab via Instagram When Paul proposed to Agdal at Hotel Passalacqua last year, Agdal was 'completely blindsided by the proposal and was visibly surprised' — and the ring was the wrong size, a witness told the Daily Mail at the time. Advertisement Then, Paul reportedly called Jake and said, 'Bro, you have a sister,' the outlet added. 'Today is the day I ask the love of my life to marry me,' Paul said in a 2023 YouTube video that provided a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the proposal. 'Fourteen months ago, I fell in love with the most beautiful human being I've ever seen in my life, and I have been waiting for this day ever since.' 4 Nina Agdal and Logan Paul were married in Lake Como, Italy, on Friday. Screengrab via Instagram Advertisement Paul's fame has skyrocketed after making his in-ring WWE debut in 2022, and he spent time on the field pregame at Yankee Stadium two weeks ago ahead of WWE SummerSlam — posing with Aaron Judge and getting the superstar to sign a baseball. But before Paul faces John Cena in a singles bout at WWE Clash in Paris on Aug. 31, he took a break for the extravagant ceremony.

Kanye West's former Malibu mansion back on the market for $34.9 million — three years after rapper gutted the architectural gem
Kanye West's hollowed-out former home is back on the market for the fourth time in five years. The concrete Malibu mansion designed by world-renowned starchitect Tadao Ando relisted this week for $34.9 million, just months after going into contract. West made headlines in 2022 after he gutted and subsequently abandoned the iconic residence. This most recent listing, first reported by marks yet another period of uncertainty in the box-like home's unhappy history. Advertisement 7 Kanye West, who legally changed his name to 'Ye,' paid $57.25 million for the rare property in 2021. AFP via Getty Images 7 Efforts to reverse West's handiwork, pictured underway in June, have reportedly stalled. Celeb Aerials / BACKGRID The Montana-based luxury developer and builder Andrew Mazzella entered into contract in March for the half-restored home. Advertisement The deal between Mazzella and the crowd-funded firm that took the property off of West's hands has reportedly dragged on ever since, Mansion Global reported. Mazzella told the outlet that the unique property is 'a very complicated construction project,' and said that negotiations are still ongoing. 'I consider my business style to be that of Trump, Musk and Carl Icahn combined, so it's not an easy process,' Mazzella told Mansion Global. Pritzker Prize-winning architect Tadao Ando designed the minimalist four-bedroom home, dubbed 'Little Ando,' in 2013. Ando is the mastermind behind Jay-Z and Beyonce's own Malibu manse, a record-setting property called 'Big Ando.' Advertisement West bought 'Little Ando' for $57.25 million in 2021. West, who had his legal name changed to 'Ye,' then gutted the rare Ando home. The controversial music mogul reportedly sought to turn the abode into his own personal 'bomb shelter,' and 'bat cave.' The rapper soon deserted the effort, however, leaving the concrete shell open to the elements between 2022 and 2023. 7 The facade of the glass and concrete marvel prior to West's ownership.

GC Images The crowdfunded real estate firm Belwood Investments snapped up the property in 2024 for just $21 million — $14 million less than what West originally asked. The firm, helmed by developer Steven 'Bo' Belmont, began an ambitious restoration of the property, installing all new framing, plumbing, roofing and electrical work. Belwood's 500-plus investors were set to receive an early payday after the firm listed the semi-restored property for $39 million earlier this year. It quickly entered into contract with Mazzella's company Andrew Mazzella Ventures LLC in March for an undisclosed sum upwards of $30 million, the Wall Street Journal reported. Mazzella made a cash offer on the still-windowless 'Little Ando,' the outlet reported, with plans to finish and relist the property for between $55 to $65 million. Now, however, the fate of the architectural gem is in limbo once more. 7 The back of the bunker-like property when West purchased it in 2021. @CelebCandidly / MEGA 7 Belwood listed the home part-way through the restoration project. Celeb Aerials / BACKGRID Advertisement The deal between Belwood and Mazzella was set to close in May, Mansion Global reported, and construction is currently halted. Mazzella told the outlet that the parties are 'still negotiating,' and that he would keep looking for other investment opportunities if this deal falls through. As of Wednesday, the three-story home is up for grabs for $34.9 million. Jason Oppenheim of the Oppenheim Group and Mauricio Umansky of the Agency still hold the listing. Oppenheim represented West in the previous sale to Belmont.
