Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s financial problems seem like they’re continuing, as the couple were seen uncharacteristically flying economy while leaving Italy, before jet setting off to Japan for more international adventures.

Earlier this week, a perplexed traveler captured a video of the famous duo while on a flight, subsequently sharing the footage on TikTok.

The passenger expressed his astonishment, writing that he was “not expecting” to encounter the well-known couple upon exiting the bathroom.

In the brief clip, Kanye can be seen donning a white towel bathrobe and napping in the footage. Meanwhile, his wife, Bianca, is occupied with her phone.

Why Kanye And Bianca Were Traveling In Economy

Ye is known for exclusively traveling via private jet (he even had access to a personal one a la his then-wife Kim Kardashian for many years). So, flying economy is an unusual move for the rapper and his entourage , especially given his celebrity status. Though Kanye was once called a billionaire, his decision to travel economy suggests his financial situation is continuing to deteriorate, as recent reports have suggested.

This isn’t the only reason Kanye and Bianca’s recent sighting has made headlines. Upon touching down in Japan, some fans were surprised by Bianca’s conservative outfit. Though she’s become known for provocative looks that get people talking (and even put her at risk of fines and jail time), Bianca was covered from head to toe in a flowy maxi dress with a dark head scarf hiding her face.

TMZ reported Kanye and Bianca was visiting Asia for new business opportunities, which could explain her more conservative outfit. Ye has allegedly been facing financial troubles for years since his controversial comments, including anti-semitic remarks, led Adidas to cancel their long-time Yeezy collab. This led to Kanye losing his billionaire status.

Kanye’s Financial Situation Continues To Decline

Since then, Ye has been hit with multiple lawsuits, some over unpaid expenses and others from former staff alleging mistreatment.

Kanye can expect his legal bill to grow, considering the recent case filed by an ex-assistant accusing him of sexual misconduct. Lauren Pisciotta has initiated legal action against Kanye, accusing him of sending inappropriate text messages prior to terminating her employment.

According to her legal filings, Lauren claims that after a year of working for Kanye, he made a peculiar demand for her to be “God like” and requested that she deactivate her OnlyFans account. In exchange for her compliance, he allegedly offered her an annual salary of $1 million, which she accepted.

However, Kanye allegedly then inundated her with sexual texts, videos, and photos. (including at least two videos of him engaging in intimate activities with a model).

Lauren says contends that Kanye promoted her to Chief of Staff for his companies, compensating her with $4 million. Despite this significant promotion, she asserts that her employment was terminated in October 2022. Although she was offered $3 million in severance pay, she claims to have accepted the offer but never received the payment. She’s now seeking financial compensation, but it remains to be seen if Kanye will have to pay up or not.
