Kanye West was taking 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, OnlyFans model Monica Corgan, who did her best to keep a low profile.
Kanye is focused on his run-down home, which he bought for a whopping $57.3 million last year, after returning to Instagram, but this time without a post mocking his ex-wife Kim Kardashian or now-ex Pete Davidson .
Checking in on the spot: Kanye West, 45, pulled his hoodie tighter to cover his face as he visited his $57 million Malibu home with OnlyFans model Monica Corgan on Friday
Kanye dressed casually in an all-black, minimalist ensemble for the on-site visit.
He wore a black tank top hoodie with cropped sleeves that revealed a hint of his bare chest underneath.
The monster rapper had his hood pulled up and also wore a black baseball cap.
He looked weird as he tugged at the drawstrings of his hoodie and wadded it up so that there was only a tiny hole left for his eyes to peek out of.

In a nutshell, Kanye paired his hoodie with understated black shorts and stayed on topic with heeled black socks and black and charcoal Yeezy shoes.

Walking alongside the producer was Corgan, who had dark hair tied back in a bun and wore huge black bug-eyed sunglasses that hid her face.
She followed Kanye’s example and pulled up her hood to partially cover her face.
Corgan, who was previously spotted caching a screening of Top Gun: Maverick with West, later showed off her slim, athletic physique as the pair entered the home. She was seen standing on a balcony and basking in the bright sun while wearing powder blue leggings that accentuated her toned legs and a matching tube top.
She contrasted the athleisure ensemble with a pair of pointed black heels.

Monica took off her sunglasses as she and Kanye found a shady spot on another part of the balcony and chatted.
He seemed lively, and both were seen at one point smiling from ear to ear. The Flashing Lights rapper once pulled out his phone and she leaned over to see his screen.
The home, originally listed for $75 million, was designed by renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando.
Kanye has been fascinated by Ando’s work since observing some of his stunning architecture during a visit to Japan’s “art island” Naoshima, according to Dirt.
The Malibu home, one of Ando’s few buildings in the US, has been completely gutted by Kanye, who is nowhere near completing the renovations, TMZ reported last month.

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

“Look at the children. Look at the homeless. As the greatest inspiration for all designs,” read the simple text post he shared.
It’s not clear if the current designs he’s working on for his Malibu home are related to this philosophy, though he’d love to share more of his creative process later.
Prior to this relatively harmless post, Kanye brought to an abrupt end what appeared to be a relatively peaceful period in his divorce from Kim Kardashian.
After it was revealed that she and his often-mocked nemesis Pete Davidson had split, he posted a meme of a fake New York Times front page with the massive headline “Skete Davidson Dead Aged 28.”
He also included a dig at his former friend Kid Cudi in tiny text at the end, indicating that he ended his Rolling Loud set early after onlookers threw bottles and other objects at him.

After the post, a source exclusively told DailyMail.com that Kim found it “appalling.”
“Kim won’t take it. She’s demanding that Kanye step down, but he won’t,” said a source close to the reality icon.
While there was no indication the formerly married couple might get back together, Kanye’s behavior towards her and Pete — and his final goodbye shot at the comedian — appears to have ended those prospects for good.
“She defended Pete vigorously. 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 he shared the post, it was removed and his Instagram went blank again.
