The bad-boy rapper is in the French capital for fashion week and has been grabbing headlines, while wife Bianca Censori once again stunned onlookers with her brazen, barely there outfits.
Back in the United States, however, a storm is brewing with ex-assistant Lauren Pisciotta suing Kanye, 45, who has been virtually canceled by the music industry following internet rants about Jesus and Hitler.
She claims he demanded the deletion of her OnlyFans account for $1 million, before sending a stream of vile messages and acting inappropriately with her.
A legal representative claims the allegations are “baseless” and that “Ye will be filing a lawsuit against Ms. Pisciotta, who actively pursued him sexually to coerce employment and other material benefits, then engaged in blackmail and extortion when her advances were rejected.”
He has, according to sources who’ve spoken to The U.S. Sun, also been snubbed by multiple concert organizers all over the world who want nothing to do with him.
But we’ve been told by an insider that Kanye put his difficulties to one side in France, and hosted a ridiculously lavish dinner party in an exclusive area of Paris.
Around 30 people were invited to a private apartment in the Quartier Saint Germain des Pres.
The group, according to the source, consisted of friends, French collaborators, and music and sports industry contacts all in town for the annual fashion parties.
“Kanye loves to be a great host,” the planner who works extensively in the fashion and music industry told The U.S. Sun.
There was, naturally, no expense was spared with over $40,000 spent on fine wine.
Five bottles of Pinot Noir, costing a cool $3,950 each, were procured, along with ten $1,000 Bordeaux bottles, and $7,440 worth of top-quality Dom Perignon champagne.
If that wasn’t enough, there were also six bottles of Cristal Brut.
“He isn’t afraid to spend tons of money on food and drink,” the insider continued.
“He loves Paris and French cuisine.”
The food on hand to soak up all the alcohol was similarly lavish and costly.
A hefty order of 12 portions of Caviar Petrossian – which costs $320 per 30 grams, $3,100 of smoked salmon, and $1,340 of French-reared steak were all on offer.
The planner revealed Kanye “always asks for the top meats and products” when in town and admitted this isn’t the first time there have been such excessive demands.
KANYE’S CONCERT WOES
The U.S. Sun has extensively reported on Kanye’s doomed attempts to resurrect his live music career following a string of controversial incidents that have left him virtually untouchable.
According to our insiders, he has tried – and failed – to snare arenas in Europe, South America, Southeast Asia, and Australia.
Kanye even floated the crazy idea of playing at some of the seven wonders of the world – including India’s Taj Mahal, the Great Wall of China, and the pyramids in Egypt.
The U.S. Sun revealed plans to buy huge plots of land in Europe and Africa to stage mini-festivals.
And we also detailed plans for a possible gig in Russia, which was quickly blown out of the water.
Kanye was warned that any association with Russia during their invasion of Ukraine could have huge ramifications for his future.
An insider claimed many countries that have already cut ties with Russia will make it tough for the rapper in his forlorn search for venues.
“He is the kind of person that we love, ” said the source.
“He doesn’t count how much he spends, as long as everyone involved has a great time.”
Kanye has no qualms about spending huge amounts on fine dining experiences – he allegedly once paid legendary Italian chef Massimo Bottura $150,000 to host a party in Italy, according to the insider.
The U.S. Sun reached out to Kanye’s representatives but didn’t hear back immediately.
