Kanye West Loses His Luxury Vehicle In Embarrassing Scene After Diddy Backlash

Kanye West recently suffered an embarrassing fail after his vehicle was reportedly seized in Los Angeles.
The controversial rapper has been on the receiving end of fans' wrath after he showed support for Sean "Diddy" Combs, 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.
Kanye West's Maybach Gets Towed
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.
Diddy's Son Comes To Visit The Rapper
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."
Kanye West Denied Entry Into Court
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.
50 Cent Slams Courthouse Appearance
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.
A Mental Health Retreat For The Couple
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."
