Kanye West has stirred reactions over his 46th birthday celebration.
The controversial American rapper, who turned 46 on Thursday, June 8, celebrated his day over the weekend, with food being served off the body of three naked women.
According to a series of photos and videos shared to social media, West’s party included the Japanese practice, nyotaimori. It’s often referred to as ‘body sushi’.
The bizarre practice – Nyotaimori, is a Japanese practice where sushi or sashimi is served from the naked body of a woman.
Fans were up in arms over the incident and took to Twitter with their outrage, writing, ‘treating a human woman like a plate is kinda misogynistic big dog.’
Another critic chimed in, calling it ‘the grossest display of misogyny ever. Gluttonous misogyny.’
‘In what WORLD is treating women like objects for male consumption (literally) not misogyny?’ a third person argued.
Twitter users were equally concerned about how safe it was to actually eat raw fish served…on a person.
‘ItS cALlEd nYotAiMoRi. It’s called unsanitary, but whatever man do what ya want,’ one user commented.
The June 10 bash—which included celeb guests Chlöe Bailey, Ty Dolla $ign, and Freddie Gibbs—featured a luxe selection of sushi and sashimi.
Kanye’s 9-year-old daughter, North West, and his new wife Bianca Censori were in attendance at the event, the pair were photographed holding hands with Censori, as they made their way into the ‘All of the Lights’ rapper’s party.
