Kanye West loses Tokyo gigs after Grammys stunt

Kanye West’s shocking Grammys stunt with wife Bianca Censori has backfired, costing the rapper a $20 million deal for two concerts in Tokyo. Japanese investors pulled the plug on the shows, citing cultural concerns over his behavior.

Fallout from Grammys controversy

West, 47, had been living in Japan for much of the past year, but sources say his investors were horrified by his latest antics. The rapper was seen issuing commands to Censori, who was barely dressed, as they staged a bizarre red-carpet appearance.

“Japan is having a cultural awakening about women’s rights and the MeToo movement is strong here. What he did is being seen as an act of coercive control,” an insider revealed.

His actions have also sparked outrage in the U.S., where critics slammed his disregard for the Grammys’ charitable efforts for Los Angeles wildfire victims.

A downward spiral

West’s career continues to suffer setbacks. His highly anticipated album “Bully” has been indefinitely delayed, and his cryptocurrency project has taken priority over his music, insiders claim.

Meanwhile, concerns about his influence over Censori grow, with reports of strict rules governing her clothing and diet. The couple’s behavior has drawn comparisons to his past controlling tendencies in his marriage to Kim Kardashian.

What’s next?

With Japan seemingly turning its back on him, West’s options for global performances are shrinking. Investors are now questioning whether his controversial antics have permanently damaged his brand.
