Kanye West took a leaf out of ex-wife Kim Kardashian‘s book as he was spotted driving an identical luxury car while out with wife Bianca Censori in Japan this week.

The rapper, 47, flashed a beaming grin as he parked his mirrored Mercedes-Maybach car while heading to lunch with Censori, 30.

While his marriage to Kardashian, 44, may be firmly in the past, the car is the same one Kardashian owns and has been spotted posing with in 2019 and 2021.

West has been a longtime fan of the lavish cars which cost around $200,000 each and in was reported in 2021 he bought Kardashian five 2021 Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600s amid their divorce.

In 2023 Kardashian’s fleet of luxury vehicles was seen parked at her home and  toward the back of the line was a sporty SUV, a 2022 Custom Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600, which cost an impressive $250,000.

Kim shares four 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren with her ex-husband Kanye West – North, 11, Saint, ten, Chicago, six, and Psalm, five.

The pair were married from 2014-2022.

This comes amid dad West‘s apparent absence from their four kids’ lives — two years after he and his ex-wife reached a joint custody agreement.

That’s because he’s been hunkered down in Japan with his much-younger wife Bianca Censori, 30, amid mounting 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual assault and abuse lawsuits — including from his former assistant.

He was last seen spending time with his 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren in September as they attended his album listening party in China.

North and Chicago recently appeared in the rapper’s music video for his new song BOMB off his Vultures 2 album — though it was later determined that the daughters’ cameos were AI generated.

DailyMail.com previously reached out to reps for West for comment on him not being seen with his 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren in several months but did not immediately hear back.

Last month, Kim admitted she feels like a single parent these days while appearing on her close pal Zoe Winkler’s What The Winkler? podcast.

Zoe said Kim’s parenting situation is ‘insane,’ to which reality star replied, ‘Yeah.’

Kim also told Winkler, who is also a mother, that she doesn’t talk about raising her kids a lot because it comes with ‘a lot of judgment’.

‘You and I have mostly connected on parenting and judgment, and you know, feeling like sometimes you’re in this alone,’ she shared.

And Kim added that she is ‘basically raising four kids by [herself] here.’

The reality TV star went on to say that she feels like a ‘pit stop of a race car driver’ because she juggles so much and admitted to feeling overwhelmed.

‘Even though we have great support systems and we have people around us, but sometimes in the middle of the night when [the kids are] all sleeping in your bed, kicking you and crying and waking up, like, it is…,’ she said, before trialing off.

‘It’s not something I talk about a lot because I feel like there is always a lot of judgment. Or people will always jump to the, “Oh, but you have the resources to have nannies and to have help.”‘
