Kanye Westwas a busy man this past weekend in Miami.
In town to celebrate annual Art Basel festivities the rapper stepped out solo this year as wifeKim Kardashianchose not to attend.
While making the rounds of restaurants, music events and nightclubs — even giving a surprise performance at the posthumous album release party forXXXtentacion—West, 41, appeared to be having a good time.

“He was down for mostly music events,” says a Miami source. “Over the weekend he stopped into Bar Bevy and grabbed dinner withJonathan ChebanatSwanin Miami’s Design District, did an impromptu performance of his new song with XXXtentacion and partied late into the night at Story withLil Wayne.”
West, who’s had a rollercoaster year during which he opened up about hisstruggles with his mental health, has been sticking close to Kardashian in recent weeks.
Still, “Kim was never planning to come,” says the source of Kardashian, who in the midst of the weekend posted a throwback picture from her last trip to Miami.
“Found this pic from my last Miami trip,” she captioned the image. “Take me back please, it’s pouring rain here.”
While some in West’s circle were initially concerned for him going into the hectic Basel weekend alone, the source says worries all but faded as the weekend wrapped up. West was even spotted enjoying himself while learning a new skateboard trick during a block party.

“Early on he was sounding a bit weird and had that look in his eye again, but he really finished out the weekend relaxed and in good spirits.”
Adds another source, “He was totally chill and normal. He was on his best behavior.”
