Kanye continued his all black ensemble with cargo pants, a hoodie and sturdy boots while blocking out extra noise with headphones.
The star started his day visiting Berlin art haunts like the Pergamon Museum, Hamburger Bahnhof gallery and famed German socialite Julia Stoschek’s collection before meeting up with a local photographer named Holger to see some more.
West asked the local for a ride, but then said the car was ‘too dirty’ for him to ride in, according to Page Six.
He eventually hopped in and went to get dinner with his new pal at Lutter & Wegner.

Kanye’s big excursion comes after he sparked speculation he cheated on estranged wife Kardashian after the birth of their first two children.
The rapper’s track Hurricane has sent tongues wagging with its lyrics which allude to him confessing his infidelity, reports PageSix.
‘Here I go actin’ too rich / Here I go with a new chick / And I know what the truth is / Still playin’ after two kids / It’s a lot to digest when your life always movin” raps the 44-year-old hitmaker, who premiered his album Donda on Sunday, August 29.

‘The song is in a way his testimony of everything he did wrong and taking accountability for their marriage breakdown,’ one source said of the song’s potential meaning.
Another told PageSix the ‘new chick’ mentioned in Hurricane’s lyrics is not a nod to West’s fling with Russian supermodel Irina Shayk, who he reportedly split from last month.
‘If you look closer to the lyrics he is referring to his infidelity during his marriage with Kim, even after two kids,’ the outlet’s insider continued.
Kim and Kanye famously tied the knot on May 24, 2014 during a lavish ceremony held in Florence, Italy.
The wedding came nearly one-year after the KKW Beauty founder and the Stronger hitmaker welcomed their first child together, daughter North West, now eight.

Kardashian would then give birth to the now estranged couple’s second child, son Saint, five, in December 2015.
They would go on to welcome two more children, daughter Chicago, three, and son Psalm, two, via surrogate in 2018 and 2019.
A source revealed to E! News on Wednesday that Kim is ‘open’ to reconciling with her estranged husband and ‘is not rushing the divorce.’
‘She and Kanye are in a good place right now and she is not on a rushed timeline to push the divorce forward.’
The new information arrives after many of Kim and Kanye’s fans speculated that a reconciliation might be in the works after she made an appearance in a Balenciaga Couture wedding gown during his third public listening party for his new album Donda.

The exes were also seen together in Malibu earlier in August for lunch together, and they have continued to spend time with their four children as a family.
The source added that Kim and Kanye ‘are finally in a great place and Kim wants to enjoy this time and be a family unit.’
The Jesus Walks rapper is also reportedly looking to get back together with his reality star wife.
‘Kanye has expressed that he wants her back, and Kim is open to it, but wants to focus first on rebuilding their foundation and friendship back stronger,’ the insider continued.
