Kanye West’s naked Grammys stunt with his Australian wife, Bianca Censori has allegedly cost him millions after he lost a lucrative deal to play multiple gigs in Tokyo.
The rapper, who has been living in Japan, had signed a $US20 million ($32 million) deal to play two gigs at the Tokyo Dome
But sources now claim Japanese investors are likely to pull funding from the show as the controversial star has “’greatly misjudged the tolerance of the Japanese people”.
“The stunt was creepy beyond belief and Kanye has been greeted with horror in Japan,” the source told The Daily Mail.
“Japan is having a cultural awakening about women’s rights and the MeToo movement is really strong here,” the source said.
“What he did is being seen as an act of coercive control which is utterly unacceptable. He has completely culturally misjudged Japan.”
It came as wild footage of a Grammys after-party showed Censori, dressed in a skimpy black leotard, dancing provocatively with West.
The Melbourne-born Censori, who married West in 2022 after his divorce from Kim Kardashian, laughed and sang a karaoke version of Adele’s Rolling In The Deep, just hours after they shocked the world with their Grammys red carpet display.
Australian body language expert Dr Louise Mahler described Censori’s near-nude display on the red carpet, where she caused a frenzy in a sheer mini dress that showed off her naked body, as “disturbing”.
“There is something wrong here,” she said. “This is clearly a magnificent female body but look at what is going on. Turning up at a red carpet with no clothes on is a highly provocative act that one would imagine takes nerves and a sense of humour.
“However, looking at Bianca’s face, this is not a woman enjoying herself. Her eyes are wide and even appear frightened.
“Her lips are pursed but her face is dropped with no humour lines or even expression. As she shows us her back, her head is slightly dropped reminding me of someone who may be being displayed as property. She is ‘doing the business’ with no glow of excitement in the event.”
Dr Mahler noted West’s “army sergeant” demeanour as he watched his wife on the Grammys red carpet.
“Whatever is going on here it is certainly provocative, definitely not funny and despite the sheer beauty of Bianca’s body, somewhat disturbing,” she said.
She said the image of Censori facing towards West, with her back to the cameras, was “disturbing.”
“If their intention was to be provocative, they have achieved their goal, but not in the way they had intended as all this disturbing ‘show’ will do is raise concern for Bianca Censori and raise serious questions over the control that Kanye West holds over her,” she said.
KANYE’S ‘CREEPY’ COMMANDS TO AUSSIE WIFE BIANCA
It came as a lip expert claimed that West told Censori to “make a scene” moments before she dropped her fur coat on the Grammys red carpet and bared all.
West is believed to have made the “creepy” demand for Censori to “drop” her coat and turn to the cameras on the red carpet.
Now, a lip-reader has analysed TikTok footage of the couple talking at the side of the red carpet moments before she dropped her fur coat to reveal all.
And, according to The Daily Mail, she believes West was behind the nude stunt.
Nicola Hickling, the founder and lead analyst at LipReader, told the Daily Mail that West said to the Melbourne-born Censori: “You’re making a scene now.
“Make a scene, I’ll say it’ll make so much sense.”
Censori can be seen nodding her head in the clip as West leans in.
According to Hickling, he then tells his wife: “Drop it behind you and then turn, I got you.”
Hickling claims that Censori replies, “Alright let’s go.”
Censori arrived at the event in a black fur coat and headed straight to the red carpet with West.
She then slowly removed her coat from behind to reveal her bare butt before turning around to face photographers.
Censori’s body was fully exposed, as just the completely see-through piece of fabric covered her body.
West stood next to his wife in an all-black outfit and sunglasses.
Photographers could be heard gasping: “Wow, what a reveal!”
Fans watching at home were horrified by the look, with one saying online: “This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen.”
“This is bad … actually, this might even be criminal,” another viewer said.
A third critic commented: “How is she allowed in public? There are kids around, and she should be mortified.”

One more noted: “Ye will do anything for attention. No one cares about him anymore and this is what he pulls. Sad.”
But despite the backlash, West was proud of his wife’s red carpet look.
Posting a picture of the dress on Instagram, West said: “Custom Couture Grammy dress for the most beautiful woman ever My love my best friend My wife.”
The music and fashion mogul – who was previously married to Kim Kardashian – also shared 13 photos of his wife to social media.
Censori, meanwhile, posted a photo of herself in the dress with West kissing her neck on her social media.
It was later alleged that West and Censori were told to leave the awards ceremony.
“Kanye and Bianca were not believed to have been officially invited to the Grammys. They’ve both since been kicked out,” a source told The Sun.
However, a second source close to West insisted they “absolutely had tickets” as he was nominated for Best Rap Song and only ever planned to get photographed with Censori and leave.
West was reportedly seen being escorted out by police after walking the red carpet, leading many to believe it was because of Censori’s outfit.
A third insider told The U.S. Sun: “He doesn’t care [that he was kicked out]. He went to get photographed on the carpet and is now having a watch party.”
Kanye also hosted his own after-party with pal Justin LaBoy at a former market in East Los Angeles, with a team setting up hours ahead of the doors opening at 10pm.
