Kanye West has reportedly lost a lucrative $20 million concert deal in Japan following his latest headline-grabbing antics at the Grammy Awards.
The 47-year-old rapper was scheduled to perform two major shows at the Tokyo Dome in May. However, Tokyo-based investors have now pulled their support in response to his controversial red-carpet behavior, sources claim.
Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s Grammys Appearance Causes Backlash
West attended the Grammys alongside his wife, Bianca Censori, who wore a sheer mesh outfit covered only by a black fur coat, without any undergarments.
According to lip reader Nicola Hickling, as reported by Resist the Mainstream, West was seen giving Censori direct instructions on the red carpet. He allegedly told her, “You’re making a scene now,” before adding, “Make a scene, I’ll say it’ll make so much sense.”
Shortly after, the couple left the event and got into a waiting limousine.
Japanese Investors Withdraw Support Over Women’s Rights Concerns
West’s actions have sparked significant backlash in Japan, where discussions on women’s rights and the MeToo movement are gaining momentum. According to the Daily Mail, a source in Tokyo stated, “Kanye is just ruining every opportunity he gets. The stunt was disturbing and has been met with outrage in Japan.”
Another insider added, “Japan is experiencing a cultural shift regarding women’s rights. What Kanye did is being seen as an example of coercive control, which is completely unacceptable. He has seriously misjudged Japan.”
Kanye West No Longer Welcome in Japan?
Adding to the controversy, reports indicate that West has been living in a Tokyo hotel for the past year. However, with growing public and investor disapproval, his presence is becoming increasingly unwelcome.
A source told the Daily Mail, “He’s just not welcome anymore.” This sentiment played a major role in the decision to cancel his concerts, a move that was reportedly not taken lightly.
American Investors Also React to West’s Actions
The outrage isn’t limited to Japan. American backers are also upset, especially given the context of the Grammy Awards. The event featured billboards urging charitable donations to help victims of the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles.
A source close to West told the Daily Mail, “It was incredibly disrespectful to the Grammys. Pulling a stunt at what was essentially a fundraiser—especially considering the crisis in LA—was beyond tone-deaf and offensive.”
Kanye West’s Music Career Takes a Backseat to Cryptocurrency
While West was once a dominant force in the music industry, his focus has reportedly shifted elsewhere. His highly anticipated album Bully was originally set for release before Christmas but is now indefinitely delayed. According to the Daily Mail, West remains unsatisfied with the project and has instead been prioritizing his cryptocurrency ventures.
Controversy Over Bianca Censori’s Outfits and Kanye’s Alleged Control
For nearly two years, Censori’s revealing fashion choices have raised eyebrows, with speculation that the couple engages in an exhibitionist-voyeuristic dynamic. West has previously referred to his wife as both an artist and an art form.
This is not the first time their fashion statements have caused an uproar. During Paris Fashion Week last year, Censori wore only a fur bolero jacket, stilettos, and sheer tights, relying solely on a modesty patch for coverage. West fueled this trend by declaring on Instagram that “no pants this year” would be the new style direction.
Beyond fashion, reports suggest that West exercises significant control over Censori’s lifestyle. Sources claim he has issued strict rules governing her diet, clothing, and behavior. Some insiders have voiced concerns about what they perceive as an unhealthy level of submission in their relationship.
Conclusion
With mounting backlash, severed business ties, and growing concerns about his influence over Censori, Kanye West finds himself at the center of yet another controversy. Whether he can recover from the fallout remains to be seen, but for now, his once-promising Japan tour has been completely derailed.
