The 67th Grammy Awards has been in the headlines for several reasons. On the one hand, where Beyonce’s big win, Taylor’s interesting accessories, and more have brought a smiles to the fans, on the other hand, the controversial look of Kanye West’s wife Bianca Censori has left everyone in shock. The moment Bianca dropped her fur coat to reveal a sheer minidress paired with basically nothing it led to an online furry.
Soon reports started doing the round that the daring stunt pulled by the couple got them a boot from the awards. However, later TMZ reported that the couple wasn’t escorted out of the event. A source close to the Recording Academy told the outlet that Kanye walked out of his own volition without the involvement of any security official or police.
Whatever the case may be, now reports are coming out that the stunt has cost Kanye West a $20 million deal to play in Japan. According to sources who spoke to the Daily Mail, the 47-year-old rapper was set to headline two performances at the Tokyo Dome in May. However, the incident at the Grammys on Sunday has caused significant concern among investors.
“Kanye is just ****ing up every opportunity that comes to him. The stunt was creepy beyond belief and has been greeted with horror in Japan,” an insider quoted.
The insider continued, “Japan is having a cultural awakening about women’s rights and the MeToo movement is really strong here. What he did is being seen as an act of coercive control which is utterly unacceptable. He has completely culturally misjudged Japan.”
It is worth noting that reportedly Kanye West was possibly hiding out in Tokyo, abandoning his multiple properties in the US, until the Diddy scandal blew over. At the same time, several of his former employees came forward with allegations of a toxic workplace environment and even sexual assault, which added to the troubles of the rapper. Reportedly, Kanye West seemed to have achieved some peace away from the public eye for several months but then surprised everyone with a bold move on Sunday night that was full of implications.
