Kanye West was seen out in public for the first time on Thursday following his recent hospitalization for exhaustion and sleep deprivation.
The “Life of Pablo” rapper was snapped at the “Rick Owens: Furniture” exhibition at the MOCA Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, and Italian artist Giovanni Leonardo Bassan posted the photo on Instagram (which appears to have since been deleted but was captured on People.)
Still appearing understandably tired, West, 39, is perched on a wooden seat sporting a new bleached crop with a baggy sweater and jeans.
The Grammy winner and husband of Kim Kardashian was admitted to a hospital under his own will last month after abruptly canceling the remaining dates of his Saint Pablo tour.
West was released from UCLA’s Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital on Nov. 30, after spending a week — including Thanksgiving Day — at the facility, People reported.
The rapper had previously demonstrated some erratic behavior, including ranting about Beyoncé and Jay-Z and ending concerts early. The remaining dates of his tour have been canceled indefinitely after a disastrous Sacramento show.
West was more than an hour late for the date, performed only a few songs, then went on a profanity-laced tirade about Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Drake and Hillary Clinton before dropping the mic and walking off stage.
Forbes' 10 Highest-Paid Hip-Hop Artists of 2016: See Who Beat Out Kanye West (Photos)
Kanye West might dominate the headlines lately, but in terms of money-making, it hasn't been a particularly robust year for the "Life of Pablo" rapper.
Forbes released its list of highest-paid hip-hop acts of 2016 on Wednesday, and West didn't manage to crack the Top 10, taking in a relatively paltry $17.5 million -- his lowest showing since 2011. Which rappers beat out West in the quest for hip-hop riches? Read on to find out...
10. Thanks to a label roster that continues to include Lil Wayne, Drake and Nicki Minaj, Cash Money Records kingpin Birdman padded his nest with $18 million.
9. Kendrick Lamar released "Untitled Unmastered" earlier this year and he definitely wasn't unrewarded, taking in $18.5 million.
8. Pharrell Williams' production work and TV gig on NBC's "The Voice" helped him amass $19.5 million.
7. Pitbull hit a personal best on the list this year with $20 million due to performances and numerous endorsements ranging from Playboy to Norwegian Cruise Lines.
6. Lone female entry Nicki Minaj managed her share of money-making with $20.5 million, thanks to dates on The Pinkprint Tour and deals with MAC and K-Mart, among others.
4. Drake's latest album "Views" helped him pull in $38.5 million -- which in his homeland of Canada translates into an even more impressive $49.6 million.
3. Dr. Dre hauled in a healthy $41 million, thanks in part to Apple's buyout of Beats, a new album and the successful N.W.A biopic "Straight Outta Compton" which he executive-produced.
2. Despite not releasing an album over the last 12 months, Jay Z nabbed $53.5 million, lining his pockets with cash from Roc Nation, Armand de Brignac champagne and D'Usse cognac.
1. List-topper Diddy hauled in $62 million, mostly from non-musical endeavors including his deal with Ciroc vodka.
