KANYE West's Grammys after-party has been described as being more like a "cult gathering" than a celebration, as fans crowded an old market hall in East Los Angeles.
The rapper caused a scene on the red carpet earlier on Sunday with his wife Bianca Censori who dropped her fur coat and appeared almost naked.

Kanye allegedly hosted a watch party during the ceremony before heading over to his after-party with his longtime pal Justin Laboy, who hosts the podcast The Download.
The event ran from 10 pm until 2 am and insiders told The U.S. Sun it was only fun for die-hard Kanye fans who wanted to be in his presence.
"It was a really young crowd and people were mostly just stood around holding their cell phones trying to video Ye, some people left saying it was whack and not worth staying," one source said.
"Ye has his interview with Justin projected on a large screen and then played new tracks, it wasn't really a party atmosphere.
"The only time people were seen dancing was when Bianca sang along to Adele's Rolling In The Deep."
Kanye played at least one new track featuring his daughter North West and confirmed in the podcast preview that his new album, Bully, will finally be released on her birthday, June 15.
Kanye was then seen posing for the paparazzi next to his all-chrome Mercedes Maybachs and signing autographs.
At one point, he is said to have hesitated when he was presented with a photograph of him interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the Grammys.
RED CARPET SCENE
He eventually agreed to sign it and appeared happy to be chatting to fans after the party and be back in Los Angeles after spending months in Tokyo, Japan.
Earlier in the night, Bianca wore a completely see-through dress and posed up a storm on the red carpet.

Kanye stood beside her fully clothed in a black t-shirt and jeans with designer shades.
They then quickly left the event and jumped into a limi with security as rumors swirled they'd been kicked out.
A source close to the pair later told The U.S. Sun that they had tickets to the event and just planned to pose for the paparazzi and leave, saying they weren't forcibly removed.
The official dress code for the venue is "proper attire, including shoes and shirts, must be worn at all times."
The website adds, "We reserve the right to deny entry to or remove any person wearing attire that we consider inappropriate."
Bianca, 30, covered up slightly more for the after-party seen in a black sheer thong one-piece as she put on a steamy display licking Kanye and dancing around.
Despite the backlash over Bianca's red carpet outfit look, Kanye was proud of the look.
He posted a photo of the dress on Instagram and wrote, "Custom Couture Grammy dress for the most beautiful woman ever My love my best friend My wife."
OUTFIT OUTRAGE
He shared 13 photos of his nearly naked spouse in the outfit to X, while Bianca also posted a photo of herself in the dress with Kanye kissing her neck.
The stunt marks the first time Kanye has attended the award show in years, after previously insulting the Recording Academy during one of his many public outbursts.
In September 2020, Kanye furiously slammed the music industry, sharing numerous tweets about the politics of recording contracts.
Alongside the messages, he shared a video that appeared to show him urinating on one of his 21 Grammy awards.
"Trust me ... I WON'T STOP," Kanye wrote alongside the video of the Grammy in the toilet.
Viewers and commenters online were immediately shocked by the look.
"This is the worst thing I've ever seen," one wrote.
"This is bad... actually, this might even be criminal," another viewer said.
"How is she allowed in public? There are kids around, and she should be mortified," a third critic commented.
"Ye will do anything for attention. No one cares about him anymore and this is what he pulls. Sad," one more noted.
Kanye West was ‘desperate’ to pose with Taylor Swift at Grammys: sources
Kanye West was reportedly desperate to get a photo op with Taylor Swift at Sunday night's Grammys.
A well-placed source has told The U.S. Sun that the controversial rapper was asking everyone on the red carpet when Swift was arriving.
"No one wanted to help," the insider exclusively told The U.S. Sun, " they didn't want to create a potentially weird situation."
"They were quizzing staff about which entrance she was coming to and how she would be getting to her seat," they added.
"He wanted to try and bump into her and chat in front of the cameras.
"He wanted to chat with Taylor and get some sympathy from the masses again. It didn't work."
LEGAL DRAMA
But Bianca wasn't the only one flashing the flesh on the carpet, with many other stars posing in revealing looks.
Kanye and his wife also almost had a run-in with his ex, Julia Fox, who paired her sheer slip dress with a cropped black leather jacket and boots.
Chrissy Teigen also wore a mesh black dress with paneling and no bra as she posed with her husband John Legend.
Kanye resurfaced in the US last week, his first trip home in six months.
Before coming back to Los Angeles, he was pictured reuniting with his four children with ex Kim Kardashian in Japan.
He dropped by A$AP Rocky's house and also posed for photos with A$AP Nast in front of an American flag on Instagram.
The rapper has returned to tons of legal drama, as his ex-assistant Lauren Pisciotta is still trying to serve him with a sexual assault lawsuit, while he has not hired a lawyer for several other cases.
It is unclear if he is back home to finally handle his legal issues, or move into his new $25m Beverly Hills mansion.
Kanye and Bianca purchased the property shortly before moving out of their $10,000-a-month West Hollywood apartment.
