Kanye faces fallout: $20M Japan contract scrapped
According to foreign media reports, Kanye West lost a contract with his Japanese partners worth $20 million. The reason? Bianca Censori, at his urging, stripped naked on the red carpet during the Grammy Awards ceremony.
Kanye West, known for controversial statements and actions, once again crossed the line of tolerance with his Japanese business partners. After he had his wife, Bianca Censori, strip naked during this year's Grammy ceremony, he lost a contract worth $20 million.
Bianca's behavior, entirely controlled by the West, sparked outrage among Japanese investors. It was inconsistent with the growing awareness of women's rights and the strong MeToo movement in the Land of the Rising Sun.
Kanye West loses multi-million dollar contract
As a result, according to the "Daily Mail," Kanye West is already feeling the consequences of his actions. The rapper lost a contract for May concerts, receiving a ban on performing at the Tokyo Dome, one of the most important stadiums in Japan. The losses he will incur are estimated at up to $20 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 the Japanese partners to terminate the contract is reportedly particularly painful for West, who was counting on lucrative performances at the Tokyo Dome. Feeling sad?
