The definition of a “performance” seems to be increasingly blurred these days. Fans were left without the traditional experience of a listening party.
When you think of a “performance,” you typically imagine an artist showcasing their music live. However, Kanye West is perhaps the biggest artist challenging that conventional notion today.
Recently, a video emerged of him at a Japanese pro wrestling event, where he was seen miming “CARNIVAL” in the ring. Despite the unconventional nature of his appearance, seeing Ye, even amidst his controversial public persona, remains a significant event.
According to some reports, Alexander Wang organized this event in collaboration with Joshi promotion TJPW, with Ty Dolla $ign also in attendance over the weekend.
The online reaction to this spectacle was mixed, as it was a peculiar sight without proper context, but many seemed to enjoy the experience nonetheless.
Meanwhile, Kanye West faces various challenges upon his return to the United States, including legal issues. A former employee has recently filed a lawsuit accusing him of sexual harassment, along with other disturbing allegations involving non-consensual advances and inappropriate communications.
