CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

The Daily Beast reports:

Kanye West has reportedly lost a $20 million deal to perform in Japan following his controversial stunt at the Grammys which saw his wife Bianca Censori appeared in a completely see through outfit. The artist, 47, faces two shows at the Tokyo Dome in May being cancelled.

A source told the Daily Mail: “Kanye is just f***ing up every opportunity that comes to him. The stunt was creepy beyond belief and has been greeted with horror in Japan.”

The country is currently undergoing a cultural shift around women’s rights, the source said, and would have viewed his actions as “an act of coercive control which is utterly unacceptable. He has completely culturally misjudged Japan.”
