Kanye West appeared to pause a drive through gorgeous coastal Malibu to take a phone call on Monday.
The 44-year-old superstar rapper was spotted standing at the side of a sleek black Dodge Charger with his phone held aloft and a pair of Apple AirPods Max placed over his temples.
The hitmaker was spotted without his new love interest Julia Fox, 31, who was back in New York City on Monday to celebrate her son Valentino's first birthday.
Giving his full attention: Kanye West, 44, appeared to pull his Dodge Charger to the side of the road in Malibu on Monday to take a phone call
Kanye was dressed casually in a long-sleeve black shirt, while he wore textured black leather pants that were nearly identical to pairs he was seen wearing on Saturday and again on Sunday.
He also seemed to have worn the same set of tall black boots.
The Monster rapper had his silver headphones — which cost $549 from Apple's website — perched on his head while he leaned against his car and held his phone in his hand while chatting.
It's unclear if he put the headphone on to take a call, as they weren't placed over his ears, or if he had been wearing them prior to pulling over. It's illegal in California to wear headphones or any kind of ear plugs while driving, except in special circumstances.

Safety concerns: It wasn't clear if he used his pricy Apple headphones to take the call, or if he'd previously been wearing them. It's illegal in California to drive with headphones on
Kanye was coming off a busy weekend which saw him facing drama with his estranged wife Kim Kardashian, 41, as he tried to attend their daughter Chicago's fourth birthday party.
In a video he shot while driving on Saturday, the producer groused passive-aggressively about about not being 'allowed to know' the location of the party.
'There's nothing legal that saying that this is the kind of games that's being played, it's the kind of thing that really has affected my health for the longest and I'm just not playing, I'm taking control of my narrative this year,' he complained.
'I was supposed to be in Miami recording my album. My whole schedule is all based around on me being able to take my kids to school, me being there for them, making sure that I'm in their life, that's the whole point...' Kanye continued.
But he was later seen in video posted to Instagram by Atiana De La Hoya — the daughter of Travis Barker's ex-wife Shanna Moakler — as he appeared to have a friendly conversation with Kim's mother Kris Jenner.
Rough weekend: On Saturday, Kanye complained in a video from his car that he wasn't 'allowed to know' the location of his daughter Chicago's birthday party, though he eventually made it
Still made it: He was later seen chatting with Kris Jenner at the party. Kanye revealed that he only got there because Travis Scott told him the time and address
