Kanye West traversed the Bay Area from north to south last week.

He first popped up in San Francisco to make a surprise appearance during Teyana Taylor's Sept. 5 show at the Regency Ballroom. West apparently jumped onstage while Taylor performed "Hurry" from the 2018 album he produced. He stayed onstage through the rest of the set, even participating in Taylor's tribute to Colin Kaepernick.

West appeared a few days later at Hillsdale Mall in San Mateo, to the shock of many local Twitter users. One woman said she saw the 41-year-old rapper and entrepreneur purchasing a pair of Rainbow flip flops.

"I wish I was went to hillsdale today. No one has ever used that sentence in the history of the Bay Area!! Not until @kanyewest blessed that mall with his presence," tweeted @adriandoom on Saturday.

Later that day, West donned a tuxedo and headed to San Francisco City Hall for the civil ceremony of Sujay Jaswa, the former CFO of Dropbox, and Eleni Greenwood, an obstetrician-gynecologist at the University of California, San Francisco.

The nuptials began Friday with a welcome party at Cavallo Point in Sausalito and ended with a traditional Indian wedding reception at the Fairmont San Francisco, according to the couple's wedding website.

Social media photos of the event show West posing with Silicon Valley investors Anthony Schiller, Ben Horowitz and Drew Houston. Lars Ulrich of Metallica, a longtime Bay Area resident, also attended the wedding.
