KANYE West splurged over $50,000 on a dinner party in Paris for friends and associates as the controversy caused by his former assistant’s 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual harassment lawsuit refuses to go away.

The bad-boy rapper is in the French capital for fashion week and has been grabbing headlines, while wife Bianca Censori once again stunned onlookers with her brazen, barely there outfits.

Back in the United States, however, a storm is brewing with ex-assistant Lauren Pisciotta suing Kanye, 45, who has been virtually canceled by the music industry following internet rants about Jesus and Hitler.

She claims he demanded the deletion of her OnlyFans account for $1 million, before sending a stream of vile messages and acting inappropriately with her.

A legal representative claims the allegations are “baseless” and that “Ye will be filing a lawsuit against Ms. Pisciotta, who actively pursued him 𝓈ℯ𝓍ually to coerce employment and other material benefits, then engaged in blackmail and extortion when her advances were rejected.”

He has, according to sources who’ve spoken to The U.S. Sun, also been snubbed by multiple concert organizers all over the world who want nothing to do with him.

But we’ve been told by an insider that Kanye put his difficulties to one side in France, and hosted a ridiculously lavish dinner party in an exclusive area of Paris.

Around 30 people were invited to a private apartment in the Quartier Saint Germain des Pres.

The group, according to the source, consisted of friends, French collaborators, and music and sports industry contacts all in town for the annual fashion parties.

“Kanye loves to be a great host,” the planner who works extensively in the fashion and music industry told The U.S. Sun.

There was, naturally, no expense was spared with over $40,000 spent on fine wine.

Five bottles of Pinot Noir, costing a cool $3,950 each, were procured, along with ten $1,000 Bordeaux bottles, and $7,440 worth of top-quality Dom Perignon champagne.

If that wasn’t enough, there were also six bottles of Cristal Brut.

“He isn’t afraid to spend tons of money on food and drink,” the insider continued.

“He loves Paris and French cuisine.”

The food on hand to soak up all the alcohol was similarly lavish and costly.

A hefty order of 12 portions of Caviar Petrossian – which costs $320 per 30 grams, $3,100 of smoked salmon, and $1,340 of French-reared steak were all on offer.

The planner revealed Kanye “always asks for the top meats and products” when in town and admitted this isn’t the first time there have been such excessive demands.

“He is the kind of person that we love, ” said the source.

“He doesn’t count how much he spends, as long as everyone involved has a great time.”

Kanye has no qualms about spending huge amounts on fine dining experiences – he allegedly once paid legendary Italian chef Massimo Bottura $150,000 to host a party in Italy, according to the insider.

The U.S. Sun reached out to Kanye’s representatives but didn’t hear back immediately.
