Kanye West may be dropping out of major events like the Grammys and this year’s Coachella, but he still seems to be staying busy! The “Jail” rapper (who just won a best rap song gramophone for that track!) was spotted out in Beverly Hills Monday wearing a black hoodie sweatshirt over a black t-shirt and black jeans, also sporting his signature Balenciaga croc boots. In other photos, the rapper appeared to be congregating with members of his team at a construction site, so although he’s cutting himself out of major events, he may just be continuing to plan major events of his own!

Abel Tesfaye, 32) is not a fan of the Recording Academy after they completely shut out his After Hours album, but that didn’t stop the Academy from awarding him Best Melodic Rap Performance. The Weeknd won for his contributions to Kanye West’s “Hurricane,” a track off of Ye’s Donda that also features Lil Baby. Neither the Weeknd nor Ye, 44, were on hand to collect the award, which was handed out in a ceremony before the Apr. 3 broadcast.

Kanye West, who has won 22 Grammys in his music career, has managed to pick up five nominations again at the awards this year.Despite getting a nod from the awards, the organisers announced last week that Kanye would not be allowed to perform at the 2022 awards due to his recent "erratic and troubling public behaviour," according to an insider.

Previously, Kanye has claimed he wasn’t just a "billion-dollar man" but a $10billion (£7.6billion) man, during an interview on Hollywood Unlocked.
