Kanye West played an active role in the construction of his $57 million Malibu home when he visited the site on Friday.
The 45-year-old rapper had a special guest with him, OnlyFans model Monica Corgan, who did her best to keep a low profile.
Kanye’s focus on his trashed home, which he bought last year for a staggering $57.3 million, comes after he once again returned to Instagram, albeit this time without a post mocking his ex-wife Kim Kardashian or her now-ex Pete Davidson.
Checking out the site: Kanye West, 45, pulled his hoodie up to hide his face as he toured his $57 million Malibu home with OnlyFans model Monica Corgan on Friday.
Kanye was dressed casually in a minimalist all-black ensemble for the site visit.
She wore a black hoodie with cut-off sleeves, revealing a hint of bare chest underneath.
The Monster rapper had his hood up and was also wearing a black baseball cap.
He looked comical as he tugged on the drawstrings of his hoodie, crumpling it up so that there was only a small hole sticking out of his eyes.

Hidden: Rapper Monster had his hood up and was also wearing a black baseball cap. He looked comical as he pulled at the laces of his hoodie, crumpling it up so that there was only a small hole where his eyes could peek out.
Ready: Kanye teamed his hoodie with nondescript black shorts and stayed on theme with tall black socks and black and charcoal Yeezy shoes.

Walking alongside the producer was Corgan, who wore her dark hair tied back in a bun and a set of huge black bug-eyed sunglasses that hid her face.
He followed Kanye’s lead and pulled up his hood to partially cover his lower face.
Corgan, who was previously seen saving a screening of Top Gun: Maverick with West, later showed off her athletic figure as the pair entered the house. She was seen standing on a balcony soaking up the bright sunshine while wearing powder blue leggings that highlighted her toned legs and a matching tube top.
She contrasted the athleisure ensemble with a pair of black pointed heels.

Monica took off her sunglasses as she and Kanye found a shady patch elsewhere on the balcony and chatted.
He looked in high spirits, and both could be seen grinning from ear to ear at one point. The Flashing Lights rapper pulled out his phone at one point, and she leaned over to see his screen.
The home, which was originally put on the market for $75 million, was designed by renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando.
Kanye has been fascinated by Ando’s work since spotting some of his striking architecture during a visit to Japan’s “art island” Naoshima, according to Dirt.
The Malibu home, which is one of Ando’s few structures in the US, has been completely gutted by Kanye, who is far from completing renovations, TMZ reported last month.

So far, Kanye has revealed next to nothing about his connection with Corgan.
The two were first linked in June, around the time of her split from model Chaney Jones.
West and Corgan were snapped catching a screening of the Tom Cruise blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick.
The rapper returned to Instagram on Friday, just four days after taking a parting shot at Pete Davidson before deleting his account again.

‘Look at the children. Look at the homeless. As the biggest inspiration for all design,” read the simple text post she shared.
It’s unclear if the current designs he’s working on for his Malibu home tie into that philosophy, though he’s happy to share more of his creative process below.
Prior to this relatively innocuous post, Kanye halted what appeared to be a relatively peaceful phase of his divorce from Kim Kardashian.
After news broke that she and her oft-mocked nemesis Pete Davidson had broken up, she posted a meme of a fake New York Times page with a massive headline reading: “Skete Davidson Dead at 28.”
He also included a jab at his former friend Kid Cudi in tiny text at the bottom that referenced him ending his Rolling Loud set early after audience members threw bottles and other objects at him.

It can’t be helped: Before this relatively innocuous post, Kanye interrupted a peaceful phase of his divorce with Kim Kardashian with a meme mocking his ex Pete Davidson after their split.
After the publication, a source exclusively told DailyMail.com that Kim found it “horrific”.
‘Kim will not stand for this. She’s demanding that Kanye take the post down, but he won’t,” said a source close to the reality icon.
While there was no indication that the formerly married couple could get back together, Kanye’s behavior towards her and Pete, and their latest break-up shot in the comic, seems to have ended those prospects for good.
“She has been vigorously defending Pete. She will never get back together with Kanye because of the way he has treated the people she loves and respects,” the source continued.
Hours after sharing the post, it was pulled and her Instagram was once again empty.
