Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori’s controversial appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards could cost the rapper a lucrative international concert deal worth $20 million. The couple made headlines for their nearly-nude red carpet look, which led to security escorting them out of the event, and now, reports suggest they could lose a major concert booking in Japan.
West, who was scheduled to perform in two shows at Tokyo’s iconic Dome in May, may see those plans fall through as the Japanese organizers reassess their decision. Sources told Page Six, quoting a Daily Mail report, that the investors backing the concerts are particularly upset by the couple’s shocking fashion choice at the Grammy Awards. The incident has been described as “creepy beyond belief” by a local source, and the stunt was met with widespread horror in Japan, a country currently undergoing a cultural awakening on women’s rights.
Bianca Censori, who married West in December 2022, just a month after finalizing his divorce from Kim Kardashian, wore a completely see-through mini dress with clear heels and no jewelry for the red carpet appearance. The dress, which appeared to be crafted from sheer stockings, left little to the imagination. She completed her outfit with an oversized black fur coat, which she discarded while posing for pictures.
The shocking display did not go unnoticed, and after their red carpet moment, the couple was escorted out of the venue by police officers. Censori later made an appearance at an afterparty in a black thong bodysuit.
Sources close to the situation suggest that the backlash in Japan over the couple’s behavior is leading the concert organizers to reconsider the $20 million deal. “It is highly likely that they will pull the funding for the shows,” one source said, highlighting the negative impact the Grammy stunt has had on West’s professional endeavors abroad.
Kanye West’s Japan concert deal now hangs in the balance as investors weigh the potential fallout from his and his wife’s controversial public appearance.
