Kanye West birthday party: When it comes to Kanye, subtlety is not in his vocabulary. Now known as ‘Ye’, the rapper has made headlines by getting himself into feuds and beef with various celebrities.
Known for his diverse talents as a rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer, Kanye has had a great career but also faced downfalls due to controversies. Kanye was formerly married to Kim Kardashian but even when their eight-year-long marriage came to an end in 2021, they continue to co-parent their four adorable children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.
Hailing from Chicago, Kanye’s journey in the music industry began when he dropped out of Chicago University after just one year to pursue his dreams.
At his 46th birthday party, West pulled out all stops – his star-studded bash has become the talk of the town, as women dressed provocatively served sushi on their bare bodies.
To those who aren’t familiar with the concept, at Kanye’s birthday, the spotlight shone on a uniquely Japanese tradition called ‘nyotaimori’, or ‘body sushi’. This practice, involving naked sushi tables has made appearances at Western parties before, particularly at sleazy bachelor parties!

The video of this particular incident went viral, causing a wave of backlash towards the ‘Donda’ rapper. The footage showed women lying naked on tables, serving as human platters for food. Among the attendees of the extravagant birthday bash were Kanye’s rumored current wife, Bianca Censori, and his daughter with Kim Kardashian, North West. The event sparked a mix of shock, curiosity, and disapproval from onlookers, who couldn’t help but express their thoughts on social media.
Netizens expressed their discontent about the event with comments like, “misogyny at its finest” and “this feels problematic”. One individual shared their concerns about the potential physical and psychological toll on the women hired as human tables, stating, “I wonder, these women who are used as tables – do they undergo physical and psychological stress training like astronauts? I imagine myself in their position, at some point experiencing a terrifying panic attack and running away.”
In a similar vein, we have seen Samantha, a daring character from the beloved chic flick ‘Sex and the City’, taking the bold spin on this Japanese practice to surprise her boyfriend on Valentine’s Day- but that appeared to be consensual and done in good faith! While the concept itself is not entirely uncommon, Kanye’s version of the tradition may have added an element of ickiness to his lavish birthday affair.
Kanye threw his birthday bash in Los Angeles on Saturday. The event made headlines not only for its extravagant and controversial nature but also for the sight of Kanye’s alleged current wife, Bianca, holding hands with their daughter, North West.
