Many Japanese were outraged after seeing photos of Bianca Censori wearing a bodysuit that exposed her butt with rapper Kanye West as they walked into a shopping mall in Tokyo this week.
The 29-year-old architect wore a thin, tight outfit that showed off her curves and had high-cut hips. Meanwhile, Kanye West covered himself up in a hoodie and baggy pants that covered his body. They held hands and walked comfortably through the shopping mall in Tokyo. According to Dailymail, when the American rapper and his wife entered a clothing store, the staff were shocked by Bianca’s revealing outfit.
Kanye and his wife also received backlash from Japanese people online. Many said Bianca violated the law on indecent dressing in public, which can result in a fine of 300,000 yen (US$2,000), according to Japan’s Criminal Code.
“As a Japanese citizen, I feel disgusted by this. This is bad behavior, unacceptable. I don’t understand why they have to expose themselves so blatantly,” one person wrote. Others agreed: “They should be charged with indecency. This is an insult to Japanese culture,” “She has no self-respect, neither does he. They have no respect for Japanese culture,” “Japanese people feel offended by this behavior. The couple should be ashamed of themselves. Show respect when coming to another country”…
Netizens from other countries also said that Kanye’s wife’s revealing outfit was disrespectful to Japanese culture – a country famous for its modest and elegant fashion style.
Kanye West and his wife arrived in the land of the rising sun earlier this week after spending several days in Italy. Last year, the rapper also took his young wife to Japan and met his wife’s family there. At that time, Bianca started to favor bodysuits but wore them with leggings. Since then, the Australian beauty’s style has become increasingly skimpy.
Kanye and his wife traveled amid the rapper being sued for 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual harassment by his former female assistant. In early June, female assistant Lauren Pisciotta – who worked for Kanye at the fashion company Yeezy from 2021 to 2022 – accused the rapper of regularly soliciting 𝓈ℯ𝓍, sending 𝓈ℯ𝓍 messages and masturbating in front of her. In the lawsuit, Lauren said the rapper called her in August 2022, bragging about having a 𝓈ℯ𝓍 party with five people the day before, including Bianca Censori – who was still an employee of Yeezy at the time and was not married to Kanye. In addition, the former assistant accused Kanye of not paying her and firing her in retaliation for her refusal to sleep with him.
