You can’t tell him nothing – but you can tow his vehicle.
Kanye West was dealing with the inconvenience of having his vehicle towed, as a photographer snapped images of the rapper’s custom Maybach being hauled away from the Château Marmont on Tuesday.
New images obtained by Daily Mail show the luxury car owned by the 48-year-old Runaway rapper being put on the back of a tow truck and hauled away from the hotel.
The venue – where Saturday Night Live legend John Belushi tragically overdosed in 1982 – remains a favorite haunt of Hollywood celebrities, but parking remains limited.
The Bully artist was spotted with partner Bianca Censori earlier Tuesday in Los Angeles, after traveling to New York City earlier this month to attend the trial of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who he has professed support for publicly on multiple occasions.
Daily Mail has reached out to West’s rep Milo Yiannopoulos and the tow company listed on the side of the truck for further comment on the item involving the vehicle.
West has remained in the crosshairs of controversy for much of the year amid a torrent of tweets propagating antisemitism, though he renounced those beliefs in a tweet last month.
‘I am done with antisemitism,’ he said in a May 22 tweet that garnered 167,000 likes from the influential artist’s network of more than 33.2 million followers.
The stance came in stark contrast to Ye’s controversial one four months earlier: He posted multiple images swastikas, and plastering them on a number of clothing items he intended to sell.
On February 11, the shop on West’s Yeezy Website – which he advertised with an expensive ad in the Super Bowl – was taken offline by Shopify after he was selling a white shirt with a black swastika in the center.
West spoke more about the controversy in a series of tweets February 20 – promising to wear the swastika shirt onstage at the 2026 Super Bowl.
‘Next year I’m performing at the superbowl wearing my wittle T shirt,’ he said. ‘People with money bought my wittle t shirt.’
He added that Shopify ‘gave [him his] account back’ after taking down his store after controversy erupted over the shirts, but that he was ‘not going to use it.’
The Anti-Defamation League said in a post on X/Twitter February 10: ‘As if we needed further proof of Kanye’s antisemitism, he chose to put a single item for sale on his website – a t-shirt emblazoned with a swastika.
‘If that wasn’t enough, the t-shirt is labeled on Kanye’s website as “HH-01,”which is code for “Heil Hitler.”
‘Kanye was tweeting vile antisemitism nonstop since last week. There’s no excuse for this kind of behavior.’
The organization added, ‘Even worse, Kanye advertised his website during the Super Bowl, amplifying it beyond his already massive social media audience.’
Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor, the founder and executive director of CyberWell, an online anti-Semitism watchdog group, told Dailymail.com February 11 that the organization made efforts to go over West’s head and have the page removed.
‘CyberWell reached out Shopify’s compliance and safety teams to alert them to flagrant abuse of Shopfiy’s services by yeezy.com in violation of the terms of use,’ Cohen Montemayor said.
Podcaster Van Lathan, who famously clashed with West in a heated discussion in the TMZ newsroom in May of 2018, was critical of the rapper’s latest series of tweets in a post on the platform February 20, calling him ‘the slow kid in the Black community’s class.’
‘I’m glad you’re rich,’ Lathan wrote. ‘It seems to be the only thing you care about. Money is dope you can do a lot of stuff with it. Sincerely. We need it, as a community.
‘One thing that’s more valuable than money is people. I’m sure you’d agree no dollar amount can measure North’s laugh, I’m sure you’d go broke to bring your mother back. I would for my dad, who I lost in ‘21.’
Lathan told West he was ‘trapped in an infant’s bubble, where [he] can be reckless and careless and people excuse it because of affection.
‘We realize this, and try to ignore you, until the baby picks up something sharp like Nazism, domestic abuse, etc. then we gotta child proof things until you stop crying.’
Lathan, who cohosts the podcast Higher Learning with Rachel Lindsay, continued, ‘You’re right about one thing, I am a slave to capitalism. We all are. Gotta work.
‘But No one is more of a slave than the man who puts money over dignity. No one. So I’ll be a slave, and you be what you are, which is the slow kid in the Black community’s class. Keep eating boogers Kanye.’
