Kanye West’s NSFW fashion stunt at the 2025 Grammys on Sunday might have caused a commotion online and in-person, but its impact has now extended beyond Los Angeles and into international territory. And now, he just might have to pay a hefty price for it.
As you’re well aware by now, Ye made his grand return to the Grammys after a 10-year hiatus where he was accompanied by his new wife, Bianca Censori. And it was the latter who turned their regular red carpet walk into a complete spectacle when she took off her coat and revealed an ultra-sheer “dress” that exposed nearly all of her body.

Naturally, photos of the duo began to circulate online and as a result, investors in Japan told the Daily Mail that they’re strongly considering backing out and taking back the $20 million they shelled out for the two shows Ye is slated to perform at the Tokyo Dome in May. Per a statement from a source, they told the outlet:
The stunt was creepy beyond belief and has been greeted with horror in Japan. 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.
Investors are also reportedly “highly upset” over the stunt according to the source, who also added that Ye’s move will make it awkward to return to Tokyo where he’s apparently been living out of one of their hotels for the past year.
“He has greatly misjudged the tolerance of the Japanese people towards these activities. He’s just not welcome any more,” they told the outlet.
If the investors do pull their money and Ye is barred from performing in Tokyo, we’ll more than likely hear from him in rant form on social media about it and we’re sure he’ll have plenty say.
