In a surprising turn of events, Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Sensori, were spotted flying commercial, leaving fellow passengers in disbelief.
The unexpected sighting occurred on a recent flight, where a TikTok user named Brandon Doggett captured the moment and shared it online.
In the clip, the couple was seen squeezed into the first row of a small aircraft, but it was clear they were not enjoying the perks of business class.
The video, which quickly gained traction, showed West, 47, trying to catch some z’s while sporting a white robe adorned with monograms, paired with matching pants and shoes.
Beside him, Sensori, 29, appeared absorbed in her phone, dressed in an oversized beige dress.
Doggett humorously remarked in his post, “Was not expecting to see Kanye when I walked out of the bathroom to say the least sick.” Another viewer chimed in, noting the iconic nature of their choice to fly economy in such outfits.
Interestingly, the couple’s attire matched what they wore earlier at Narita International Airport in Japan, indicating that the video was likely filmed the same day.
This choice of budget travel comes on the heels of reports detailing the disarray of West’s Calabasas estate.
Recent photographs revealed that the sprawling 320-acre property is now deserted, with parts of it torn down and left to decay.
Despite owning this lavish estate, it seems West has opted for a more economical lifestyle lately.
Following the fallout from his controversial statements in October 2022, which led to the loss of his billionaire status, he has reportedly been living in a modest apartment.
Although he still possesses a five-bedroom, four-bathroom home in Hidden Hills valued at $4.5 million, West and Sensori are said to be renting a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom penthouse in West Hollywood for $20,000 a month.
While it remains uncertain if financial troubles are looming, West certainly has a mountain of legal bills to contend with.
He is currently facing lawsuits from several former employees, including one for sual harassment filed by an ex-assistant.
This lawsuit alleges that West made inappropriate comments about his sual exploits, a claim that his legal team has dismissed as baseless.
Despite the ongoing legal battles and the recent changes in his lifestyle, this isn’t the first instance of West choosing to fly economy.
Over the years, he has been spotted on commercial flights numerous times, often without any clear explanation for his choices.
Fans have shared their own encounters with the rapper on social media, recounting moments when they found themselves seated near him on planes.
One Twitter user recalled seeing West just six rows ahead, humorously noting the proximity to the bathroom.
Another Instagram post from November 2022 showed him posing with a flight attendant, captioned with a casual mention of his economy flight to Miami.
As the world watches West navigate these turbulent times, one thing is certain: his decisions continue to spark intrigue and conversation.
Whether it’s his choice of travel or the legal challenges he faces, Kanye West remains a figure that captivates public attention, even during the most mundane moments.
With every appearance, he reminds us that even celebrities can find themselves in relatable situations, like flying economy.
