AceShowbiz - Kanye West, the rapper and fashion mogul known for luxury and high-end lifestyle, recently made headlines for an unexpected reason: flying economy class. A TikTok video shows West and his wife, Bianca Censori, seated in the first row of an economy class flight.
The couple, adorned in distinctive outfits - a monogrammed white robe for West and a large beige dress for Censori - sparked immediate intrigue and speculation among fans.
The choice to fly commercial comes amidst reports that West has been facing financial strain. Photos recently surfaced showing his 320-acre Calabasas estate in a state of ruin, and he has been residing in a modest two-bedroom penthouse in West Hollywood, despite owning multiple properties. West also lost his billionaire status in 2022 following fallout with business partners over controversial remarks.
Additionally, West is dealing with legal issues, with several former employees suing him for various reasons, including a sexual harassment lawsuit from ex-assistant Lauren Pisciotta. Pisciotta claims West sent her explicit texts and videos, allegations that West's attorneys have labeled as "baseless."
This isn't the first time West has opted for a less extravagant mode of travel. In the past, several fans have reported seeing him in economy class. One Instagram user shared a photo of West in economy on a flight to Miami in November 2022 while another fan mentioned spotting him in economy in October 2021.
Despite the speculation, it's unclear if West's recent travel choice signifies financial difficulties or if it's merely a personal preference. Regardless of the reasons, the sight of a high-profile celebrity like Kanye West in economy class has certainly left an impression on fans and onlookers alike.
