After Kanye West and his wife’s provocative appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards caused a stir, Japanese investors are reportedly looking to cancel the rapper’s $20 million performance contract.
A source revealed to Dailymail that investors for Kanye West’s two upcoming shows in Tokyo are unhappy with the rapper’s actions: “Investors in Japan, who are backing the concerts, are extremely disappointed about this. It is likely that they will withdraw their capital.”

Kanye is being criticized for ruining all his chances with his wife and him making a bizarre, “shocking” appearance in Japan on the evening of February 2. Sources say that women’s rights and the #MeToo movement are being taken seriously in Japan. That’s why Kanye may no longer be welcome in the land of the rising sun – where he has been for nearly a year.
“The rapper’s actions are seen as coercive control over his wife and are unacceptable,” the source said.

Kanye West also received a lot of criticism from the audience for his ridiculous appearance on the red carpet at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Many people thought that Kanye was manipulating his young wife and that they both “looked like they were crazy”. They called for Kanye and his wife to be banned from appearing on red carpets after this annoying act.
Kanye and his wife arrived and left quickly at the 2025 Grammy Awards on Sunday night local time, but shocked everyone with their revealing red carpet appearance. As architect Bianca Censori stood in front of a crowd of photographers, she turned around and slowly removed her fur coat to the floor, revealing her entire body. She then turned around, nearly naked in sheer fabric, no underwear. After a few minutes of showing off for the cameras, Kanye and his wife walked out together. Some sources said they were asked to leave the event.

Lip reader Nicola Hickling believes Kanye West ordered his wife to strip on the red carpet. Based on Kanye’s mouth movements, the expert guessed the rapper told his wife: “Now you’re going to cause a scene. Go ahead, I think this will make a lot of sense.” After his wife nodded, Kanye is said to have said: “Put your shirt behind your back and turn around, I’ll take care of everything.”
A source revealed to The Sun that Kanye West considers his wife’s outfit “art” and thinks the Grammy Awards are too dull and boring to stay and watch.
Kanye West has not been to the Grammys since 2015, despite being nominated and winning multiple times. This year, the 47-year-old rapper is nominated for Best Rap Song.
