Kanye West is facing intense scrutiny from his Los Angeles neighbors, who allege that his chaotic auditions for a so-called "hooligan choir" have turned their community upside down with blaring music, Nazi symbolism, and military-style drills. According to TMZ, the 47-year-old rapper, whose marriage to Bianca Censori took a dramatic turn after his controversial incest claim, has prompted police to be called on him due to the deafening noise emanating from his casting sessions, pushing his Larchmont neighbors to their breaking point.
These tryouts have sparked nearly a dozen complaints to the LAPD in just 60 days. West, who recently courted controversy by seeking performers with specific "skin types" and a willingness to don swastikas, has plastered flyers promoting his "hooligan choir" all over the upscale residential area. These flyers contain eye-raising prerequisites: no one who is "fat," all-black attire, and a skin tone matching that of Sean "Diddy" Combs, who is currently facing federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
One particularly chilling line reads: "COMFORTABLE WEARING SWASTIKAS." Sources privy to the situation inform TMZ that the sound of Kanye's songs, notably "Carnival" and "Black Skinhead," has been blasting from outdoor speakers, causing the walls of nearby homes to shake and making daily life unbearable. Eyewitnesses report seeing "black men with shaved heads" outside the warehouse, dressed in black and standing in rigid, military-style formations. Meanwhile, Kanye himself has reportedly been absent from the location.
Even more disturbing is the sight of swastikas spray-painted on the warehouse exterior, visible to a nearby elementary school. The LAPD has launched an investigation into at least one confirmed incident of vandalism. Despite multiple complaints about noise and disturbances, neighbors claim that authorities have yet to intervene meaningfully, as per TMZ.
This report comes after Kanye's astonishing claim that he engaged in incestuous acts with his male cousin as a child. It also follows footage obtained by DailyMail.com showing Kanye and Bianca dining together in the Balearic Islands last week, despite rumors of a split. While Kanye appeared bundled up in a baggy hoodie, Bianca wore one of her signature form-fitting bodysuits, suggesting that the pair was not attempting to keep their reunion under wraps. This shocking reunion marked a dramatic turnaround, as Kanye had previously rapped about being "dumped" by the Australian architect in a new song.
Prior to reuniting with Bianca, Kanye was spotted on what seemed to be a solo trip to Japan, where he was believed to be decompressing after fleeing Los Angeles once again. Earlier in April, Kanye released a new single titled "Bianca," in which he seemingly delved into the couple's separation. The lyrics hinted that Bianca had ended the marriage, and he rapped that she allegedly "tried to get [him] committed" during their time together. The track is expected to feature on his upcoming album, reportedly titled "WW3." Although it has yet to be released, DJ Akademiks, who conducted a frenetic interview with the rapper last month, posted a sample of the tune.
In "Bianca," Kanye alleges in the lyrics that his wife began suffering panic attacks triggered by his offensive antisemitic posts on DOGE overseer Elon Musk's social media platform X (formerly Twitter). Kanye, who has recently made shocking insults aimed at Jay-Z and Beyoncé's children, tied the knot with Bianca in January 2023. At the time, the pair were reportedly still legally single, as they hadn't filed a marriage certificate.
During last month's interview with DJ Akademiks, West also vented about his custody arrangement with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, 44. The exes share four children: North, 11; Saint, nine; Chicago, seven; and Psalm, five. In a shocking revelation, he expressed regret about having children with Kardashian.
