<p id=”par-2_57″>Kanye “Ye” West has become one of the most controversial figures in music. In 2025, his posts on X have ranged from antisemitic to <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/kim-kardashian-allegedly-complained-momager-life-north-west-kanye-west-feud-diddy-track.html/”>hateful toward his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian</a>. West also claimed to have “dominion” over his wife, Bianca Censori, following their notable Grammy Awards stunt that involved her walking on the red carpet naked. </p>
<p id=”par-3_80″>Due to his recent controversies, a source says West is considering leaving the United States in the hopes of making a life for himself in Europe. “Ye feels like his present and future are being limited in the US in many ways,” an insider told <a href=”https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/13777512/kanye-west-relocate-europe-not-respected-us/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The U.S. Sun</a>. “He’s looking for a way out to develop his businesses and his life. He’s targeting Europe because he sees it as a place where he can truly be himself and feel appreciated.”</p>
<p id=”par-4_35″>The publication notes West hopes to secure a European Union visa and may also try to get Italian citizenship thanks to Censori’s heritage. He might also apply for business visas in Latvia, Romania, and Slovakia.</p>
<p id=”par-5_16″>The insider explained how West thinks of Europe as a potential “oasis of freedom and entrepreneurship.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_35″>“He feels welcomed there and wants to do everything in his power to relocate and run his projects from Europe,” they explained. “In the US, it seems like everyone is turning their back on him.”</p>
<p id=”par-7_42″>The publication also spoke to a European investment and administration consultant who said West would jump at the first opportunity to gain a visa or citizenship overseas. “He’s obsessed with Europe and will do everything he can to move there,” they claimed.</p>

<p id=”par-8_68″>Kanye “Ye” West might hope to start over in Europe following the chaos he caused in 2025. However, he allegedly had a hard time getting concert venues to bring him to the stage in 2024. <a href=”https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/10539930/kanye-west-vultures-1-europe-venues-concerts-controversy/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The U.S. Sun</a> reported that West approached promoters in Madrid, Berlin, Cologne, Munich, and other cities in Australia, Asia, and the Middle East to tour his album, <em>Vultures 1</em>. The rapper was denied. </p>
<p id=”par-9_54″>A music source told the publication that West will have a “very hard” time performing in Europe. “His reputation and the controversies in the last few years are the main reason for this,” they explained. “Now, almost no companies that manage arenas or stadiums want to allow him to do shows on their venues.”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-kanye-ye-west-might-ve-also-lost-opportunities-in-japan”>Kanye ‘Ye’ West might’ve also lost opportunities in Japan</h2>
<p id=”par-10_69″>Kanye “Ye” West spent much of 2024 in Japan with Bianca Censori. He recorded his upcoming album, <em>Bully</em>, while abroad, and returned to the US in 2025. West adores Japan and talks highly of the locals. Unfortunately for him, his controversial online presence and Grammy stunt might’ve cost him opportunities in the country. An insider told <a href=”https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14354787/Kanye-West-loses-20-million-deal-Tokyo-naked-Grammys.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>DailyMail.com</a> that <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/kanye-west-lose-20-million-deal-play-japan-due-bianca-censoris-nude-grammy-outfit.html/”>people in Japan were horrified</a> by West and Censori’s Grammy moment.</p>
<p id=”par-11_39″>“Japan is having a cultural awakening about women’s rights, and the #MeToo movement is really strong here,” they claimed. “What he did is being seen as an act of coercive control, which is utterly unacceptable. He has completely culturally misjudged Japan.”</p>
<p id=”par-12_19″>The insider noted that investors backing West’s Japan concerts also hated the stunt and may remove the rapper’s funding.</p>
