Kanye West slammed as ‘GOAT of bad parenting’ with controversial birthday bash Mon 12 June 2023 13:15 Updated Mon 12 June 2023 17:25 Eve Edwards
William Harris Kanye West knows how to throw a birthday bash but could the latest party for the rapper’s 46th be his wildest yet?
On June 8, Kanye West, now legally known as Ye, celebrated his 46th birthday. But the main event wouldn’t arrive until a few days later, when the rapper and his family, as well as a number of Hollywood stars, joined forces to party the night away. Ye threw his most recent birthday bash on Saturday, June 10 at a venue in Los Angeles.
Let’s take a look at some of the wildest moments from Saturday night’s party as pictures let fans in on the fun.
Kanye West serves up sushi at 46th birthday party
One of the more controversial aspects of Kanye’s latest birthday celebration was the decision to serve sushi. You might be wondering how the Japanese food staple could stir controversy, but Ye decided that he couldn’t just have a regular platter for his party.
Instead, the rapper included the Japanese practice Nyotaimori, which involves the eating of sushi or sashimi off of a nude woman’s body. For any Sex And The City fans out there, you might remember Samantha (Kim Cattrall) decided to do such a ‘food presentation’ on Valentine’s Day in the 2008 flick. Let’s just hope, for Samantha’s sake, that we won’t see a repeat after it was announced Kim Cattrall makes a cameo in And Just Like That.
Ye dubbed the ‘GOAT of bad parenting’ by party critics
The inclusion of nudity at a party where Ye’s eldest daughter was in attendance inevitably drew criticism from some netizens.
“Right in front of North West!” one Twitter user proclaimed, after seeing clips of the Nyotaimori presentation. “The GOAT of bad parenting,” they added. Other critics
North West, 9, was pictured outside of the event and was not spotted close to any of the nude models.
Reality Titbit and GRV Media have contacted Kanye West’s representative for comment on these criticisms but did not receive an immediate response.
Right infront of North West. The GOAT of bad parenting. No cap!
