Kanye West ‘to relocate and start over in Europe’ because he feels ‘misunderstood’ and ‘not respected’ in US
KANYE West is considering leaving the United States and relocating to Europe, The U.S. Sun has learned.
According to a well-placed insider, the rapper feels his future in North America is “limited” due to a series of public controversies that have left him virtually canceled.
CRUSHING CONTROVERSIES
Earlier this week, The U.S. Sun revealed that Kanye’s multi-million-dollar real estate venture is literally crumbling, along with his hopes of performing live or regaining the sponsors who cut ties with him in recent years.
A $1.5 million church he owned also burned to the ground while controversial public appearances with wife Bianca, sickening online comments – including wild rants about Hitler and a slew of anti-Semitic remarks – have further tarnished his reputation.
Given these circumstances, it’s no surprise that the 47-year-old is eyeing a fresh start in Europe, as opportunities in the United States continue to dwindle.
The insider claims Kanye is frustrated by what he perceives as a lack of respect for his talents in America.
“Ye feels like his present and future are being limited in the U.S. in many ways,” the source said.
“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.”
The U.S. Sun has also extensively reported on Kanye’s repeated attempts to perform in Europe, with venues in Italy, France, and even Russia, rejecting his proposals.
Additionally, botched plans to purchase large plots of land in Africa and Europe to host his own festivals have been revealed.
Despite these setbacks, Kanye is reportedly making moves to secure a European Union visa and is even exploring the possibility of obtaining Italian citizenship through his wife, who has ties to the country.
The U.S. Sun understands the couple remain together, after claims circulated about divorce proceedings being launched, although the relationship remains very much on the rocks.
He is also considering applying for business or entrepreneur visas in Latvia, Romania, and Slovakia.
“He sees the EU as his next oasis of freedom and entrepreneurship,” the insider said.
“He feels welcomed there and wants to do everything in his power to relocate and run his projects from Europe. In the U.S., it seems like everyone is turning their back on him.”
The U.S. Sun also spoke to a European investment and administration consultant, who claims he’s been asked to explore “opportunities” for the disgraced music star.
“Kanye is very motivated to find a new home overseas and achieve his goals,” the consultant said.
“Whichever European country grants him a visa or citizenship, he’ll take it. He feels like no one in the U.S. wants to work with him anymore. He’s frustrated but doesn’t want to remain inactive.
“He’s obsessed with Europe and will do everything he can to move there.”
‘SIGNIFICANT OBSTACLES’
The controversial rapper, who insists he is still a billionaire despite losing multiple endorsement deals due to his offensive remarks, continues to focus on monetizing what remains of his fame.
Two well-connected sources said that Kanye’s team approached them six months ago with an ambitious plan to make money by leasing private jets.
One insider, a consultant in the private aviation industry, revealed that Kanye plans to lease the jets to wealthy clients—including CEOs and celebrities—who can afford the yet-to-be-determined premium ticket prices.
The two aircraft reportedly being considered are a $38 million Gulfstream G650ER and a $40 million Dassault Falcon 900LX.
Kanye is expected to spend at least an additional $20 million on extensive interior upgrades, which will include $40,000 Italian leather seats, a fully stocked bar, and other luxury amenities.
His Yeezy brand, meanwhile, is focused on fulfilling outstanding orders, which are being shipped from a Los Angeles warehouse following the shutdown of his website.
But Kanye’s latest tirades on X are expected to create significant obstacles for his efforts to relaunch the business.
Many investors and companies have distanced themselves from him, making it increasingly difficult for him to rebuild.
Despite this, insiders say Kanye remains determined to press forward, even after declaring himself a “Nazi” and praising Hitler during his controversial posts on X.
“He knows that almost no one in America wants to work with him anymore due to his controversies and political views,” the source explained.
“He sees doors closing one after another in the U.S. and views Europe as a land of opportunity, where he can pursue his projects, make his art and music, and reestablish himself as a successful entrepreneur, all while living freely and authentically.”
The U.S. Sun contacted a rep for Kanye, but he refused to comment.
Kanye is a ticking time bomb - I've never known him to be this self-destructive: Opinion
The U.S. Sun’s Assistant Editor (Exclusives) Katy Forrester writes about Kanye’s recent scandal after he leaned into anti-Semitic rants and staged an embarrassing Grammy’s stunt:
KANYE’S public meltdowns are nothing new, and many die-hard fans have stuck by him amid his mental health battles, while others have tried to separate the art from the artist.
But in my years covering Ye, I have never known him to be this self-destructive, blowing up what was left of his empire after spending two years building back his reputation. Even fan sites are now logging off after supporting him for years.
Unfortunately, I can’t say his recent meltdown surprises me. His life behind the scenes has been chaotic since his split from Kim Kardashian. He is a ticking time bomb.
Ye previously expressed his frustration at Kim for dressing provocatively. He focused on religion and wanted to relocate to Wyoming full-time.
But his life now couldn’t be any different. He’s often seen parading his wife Bianca Censori around almost naked, and his former assistant claimed he turned his Yeezy office into a “sexual playground” where orgies were the norm, which he denied.
During his hateful rants on X, he posted several adult videos and I fear his porn addiction is out of control.
When he recently revealed on a friend’s podcast that he had come off meds for bipolar and instead believed he was autistic, it was clear things may go south.
He has suffered from manic episodes for years, and I believe he should be medicated, have a regular therapist, and stay clear of drugs and alcohol.
Now his marriage to Bianca Censori is in trouble, and although the lifestyle may be fun, I doubt being around him at the moment is.
Many in his inner circle are enablers, except for a few who have tried to save him from himself and sadly failed.
A public pile-on could only backfire in these circumstances, although I stand by the Jewish community and think his comments have been unforgivable.
Kanye needs to step back from public life, he needs to get help, and he needs to get to the root of his issues once and for all.
He is a 47-year-old man who has already ruined his legacy and needs to be responsible for his own actions, not only for his sake, and for the sake of his children.
