American rapper, singer, songwriter Kanye West turned 46 on June 8. In a lavish party held in Los Angeles, there were reports of sushi being served on nude women’s bodies. Several photos, and video clips are being circulated on the internet claiming to be from Kanye West’s party.
The Party Details
The clippings show a model clad in a bikini lying on a table surrounded by food with trays of sushi on her chest, waist, and torso. This has received severe backlash with netizens calling him a misogynist.
The paparazzi had earlier clicked photos of Kanye West’s new wife Bianca Censori walking hand in hand with North to the party. North West is the eldest daughter of Kanye with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian. Rumored to have attended this party, the netizens are baffled that a 10-year-old girl had to see such inappropriate sights. Treating a human woman like a plate is kinda misogynistic,” a netizen wrote”. He wasn’t moved by the fact that North West was in attendance” wrote another tweeter.
About this Japanese practice
The practice of serving sushi or sashimi over a naked woman’s body is however not a new concept. It stems from the ancient Japanese practice Nyotaimori. Several countries like China have banned the practice condemning it due to public health concerns and moral issues.
Other controversies
Kanye West is not new to controversies. He recently commented in support of Hitler and the Nazis which cost him his ties with Adidas, Balenciaga, and Gap. He appeared at a Paris Fashion show wearing a t-shirt with the slogan ‘ White Lives Matter’ a rebuke to the Black Lives Matter movement. West is said to be running for US President in 2024. He has spoken extensively about his struggles with mental illness, but this kind of misogynist and erratic behavior is disappointing to the fans.
