Kanye West and wife Bianca fly economy after rapper lost his billionaire status

Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori were recently spotted flying economy, but the rapper is no billionaire anymore.

You know Kanye West for incredible music and songs like Runaway and Stronger. On the other hand, that’s certainly not all you’ll know the 47-year-old hip-hop icon for. The rapper has been no stranger to controversy and backlash over the years for comments made in interviews and on social media. For so many fans, he’s almost taken on the aura of a mythological figure, and certainly not one you’d expect to bump into while stepping onto a flight. But actually, you may want to revise your expectations…

Kanye West and Bianca Censori unexpectedly spotted on economy flight

A TikTok user by the name of Brandon Doggett recently surprised his followers by posting a video of Kanye and his 29-year-old wife Bianca Censori seated in economy on a flight.

“Was not expecting to see Kanye when I walked out of the bathroom to say the least,” he said, capturing a quick video of the famous couple as he’s walking the aisle of the plane. Dressed in all white, the video shows Kanye appearing to be asleep while his wife is scrolling on her phone.

Some stills [in the tweet above] show them boarding the plane wearing the same outfits.

Brandon wouldn’t have expected to see Kanye there due to the man’s wealth and status. However, he’s certainly not as wealthy as he once was. CBS News reports that he had a staggering $2 billion net worth in 2022 but ultimately lost his billionaire status after losing $1.5 billion following the termination of his partnership with Adidas.

All the same, they reported in 2023 that he still had an impressive $400 million net worth—likely far more than anybody else who was flying economy with him on the recent flight.

Kanye West fans think ‘flying economy’ moment is ‘iconic

Reacting to Brandon’s TikTok, fans have been quick to argue that Kanye still does it like no other.

“Flying economy in those outfits – iconic,” one commented, others praising the looks. But not everybody was taken with their fashion choices. “Is she wearing the emergency slide?” one asked about Bianca’s outfit.

More laughs are spilling onto Twitter too. “Recession claims another victim- Kanye and wife forced to fly economy class,” somebody joked in a tweet.

Others have defended him and praised him for flying commercial over private.

“Economy or not it’s still a plane,” one argued on X/Twitter. “At the end,” another began, “he’s just a human being like us all enjoying a nap.”
