The latest headline grabbing act by rapper Ye transpired at his 46th birthday in Los Angeles, California over the weekend.
While a sushi dinner shared with loved ones—including daughter North and possible wife Bianca Censori—sounds like a lovely way to celebrate, the fashion by which the raw fish was presented raised some brows on social media.
Ye and Censori—a Yeezy architectural designer—got married in a non-legally binding ceremony in January.
Ye opted for the Japanese experience nyotaimori—"body sushi"—and, yes, there is footage.

Viewers thought Ye went a little too far with this one given his rants about the Kardashians sexualizing his children.
North West will turn 10 on Thursday, June 15, 2023.
\u201c@DailyLoud The grossest display of misogyny ever. Gluttonous misogyny.\u201d— Daily Loud (@Daily Loud) 1686565135
\u201c@tarastrong @DailyLoud Gross is right. Sushi of all things, too.\u201d— Daily Loud (@Daily Loud) 1686565135
\u201c@tarastrong @DailyLoud Yup that\u2019s totally misogynistic\u201d— Daily Loud (@Daily Loud) 1686565135
\u201c@DailyLoud This is so wrong!\u201d— Daily Loud (@Daily Loud) 1686565135
A few felt the display was artistic and found nothing wrong with the birthday celebration.
\u201c@tarastrong @DailyLoud It's ancient Japanese tradition btw\u201d— Daily Loud (@Daily Loud) 1686565135
\u201c@tarastrong @DailyLoud Nobody forced that girl to do anything.\u201d— Daily Loud (@Daily Loud) 1686565135
\u201c@DailyLoud That's called "nyotaimori", or body sushi. It's not cheap by any stretch, obviously, and it's often done more for the ambiance than for actual consumption.\n\nAnd this is actually one of the more normal celebrity parties that I've seen recently.\n\nHappy 46th birthday, Kanye.\u201d— Daily Loud (@Daily Loud) 1686565135
Although some didn't think it was appropriate with his nine-year-old daughter in attendance.
\u201c@DailyLoud His daughter was attending the birthday btw \ud83d\ude2d\u201d— Daily Loud (@Daily Loud) 1686565135
\u201c@DailyLoud And the daughter was at the party\u2026allegedly.\u201d— Daily Loud (@Daily Loud) 1686565135
\u201c@DailyLoud While his daughter was present DONT make sense to me\u201d— Daily Loud (@Daily Loud) 1686565135
We guess it's his party and he'll dine how he wants to.
