Kanye West's £16m fallout: Bianca Censori's Grammy scandal
According to foreign media reports, Kanye West has lost a contract with his Japanese partners valued at approximately £16 million. The reason? Bianca Censori, at his urging, stripped naked on the red carpet during the Grammy Awards ceremony.
Kanye West, known for his controversial statements and actions, once again exceeded the boundaries of acceptability with his Japanese business partners. After he encouraged his wife, Bianca Censori, to strip naked during this year's Grammy ceremony, he lost a contract worth £16 million.
Bianca's behaviour, which was fully controlled by the West, sparked outrage among investors in Japan. It was considered inconsistent with the growing awareness of women's rights and the strong MeToo movement in the Country.
Kanye West loses a multimillion-pound contract
According to the Daily Mail, Kanye West already feels the initial consequences of his actions. The rapper lost a contract for concerts scheduled in May and has been banned from performing at the Tokyo Dome, one of the most important stadiums in Japan. His losses are estimated at around £16 million.
The investors in Japan who are backing the concerts are extremely upset by this. It is highly likely that they will pull the funding for the shows. He has greatly misjudged the tolerance of the Japanese people towards these activities. He's just not welcome any more. This will be a big blow for him because he has been living in Japan for around a year now, almost full time, and I guess he did not see this coming, reports the "Daily Mail."
The decision by his Japanese partners to terminate the contract is reportedly particularly painful for West, who was counting on lucrative performances at the Tokyo Dome. Are you feeling disappointed?
