Today host’s immediate regret over ill-judged segment about Kanye West

Today Extra host Sylvia Jeffreys has struggled through an awkward segment discussing a rap star’s birthday party, which featured naked women covered in sushi, saying she ‘probably shouldn’t have done’ the segment.

Controversial rapper Ye West, formerly named Kanye, celebrated his 46th birthday with an extravagant Los Angeles party over the weekend.

With his 10-year-old daughter North West in attendance, nude or semi-nude women were positioned around the event posing with sushi strewn over their bodies.

In a video shared to Twitter, North was seen gagging as she caught sight of the spectacle, before the lens moves on and casts its gaze over the hybrid art installation and possible health code violation.

The 10-year-old proceeded to pick up some sushi (from a non-sentient platter) and feed it to Ye’s new partner and Melburnian, Bianca Censori.

While on air on Tuesday morning, Ms Jeffreys said she felt the performance was inappropriate, especially in the presence of Ye’s young daughter.

‘That is absolutely disgusting that you can objectify women like that,’ she said.

‘But also the fact that Kanye allowed his 10-year-old daughter to attend that party. What you do as an adult you do as an adult, but to bring your 10-year-old daughter to that is appalling.’

Nova’s Tim Blackwell, who was present on the show at the time, made the moment temporarily uncomfortable.

‘Be careful, those girls will end up smelling like fish,’ he said.

Proceeding to make a joke about sashimi ‘slipping down’ somewhere inappropriate, the guest proceeded to say the segment had now given him ‘ideas’ for his own birthday party.

Ms Jeffreys replied that she would not be attending said party, wrapping up the story by expressing the show ‘probably shouldn’t have done that segment’.

The Japanese practice Nyotaimori is often referred to as ‘body sushi’, and is the samurai-era practice of eating sushi from the naked body of a woman.
