Kanye West faces critisism for celebrating his 46th birthday for serving Sushi on women
Kanye West faces criticism as he had a birthday party with Sushi being served on the bodies of unclothed women.
Kanye West finds himself in the midst of controversy yet again. The renowned rapper and songwriter, celebrating his 46th birthday on June 8, is facing severe criticism following the release of a few video clips from his birthday celebration. The extravagant party, graced by his rumoured girlfriend Bianca Censori and his daughter North West, has come under fire as sushi was being served on the bodies of unclothed women.
The controversial practice in question, known as Nyotaimori, originates from Japan and involves the serving of sashimi or sushi directly from a naked woman's body. Kanye West's inclusion of this custom at his birthday celebration has ignited a debate on cultural appropriation and objectification, drawing criticism from various quarters.

They contend that Kanye's decision to incorporate Nyotaimori into his party not only disrespects Japanese culture but also disregards the potential harm it can cause by further objectifying women.
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.

They contend that art often pushes boundaries and sparks conversations, even if it may offend certain sensibilities.
