Kanye West and Bianca Censori are reportedly calling it quits just 11 days after her shocking nude appearance on the Grammys red carpet.
Sources claim the couple has already reached a verbal agreement, with Censori set to receive a $5 million payout following their brief marriage, which began in December 2022.
A source close to the rapper confirmed that the two have now split and expect a legal filing to make it official in the coming days. Censori is said to be staying at their $35 million Beverly Park mansion in Los Angeles, while West’s whereabouts remain uncertain. Some speculate he may return to Tokyo, where he spent much of last year.
Grammy stunt sparked backlash
At the Grammy Awards, Censori appeared visibly uncomfortable as West instructed her to shed her fur coat, making a dramatic scene on the red carpet. Friends of the rapper insisted the moment was meant to be “art” and a recreation of his Vultures 2 album cover.
After the event, West took to social media, praising Censori’s boldness and calling himself lucky to have a wife who was “smart, talented, brave, and hot.” However, criticism poured in, with many accusing him of controlling and exploiting her for publicity.
Controversial actions and fallout
In the days following the Grammys, West sparked further outrage with an anti-Semitic rant on social media, declaring himself a Nazi and expressing admiration for Hitler. He then ran a Super Bowl ad promoting his Yeezy brand, which featured only one item: a $20 T-shirt bearing a swastika. Shopify shut down his store within 24 hours, and he was banned from X (formerly Twitter) before later returning and deleting most of his offensive comments.
Hollywood stars, including Isla Fisher and David Schwimmer, have publicly condemned West’s behavior. Meanwhile, Censori has remained silent, adding to speculation about their marriage breakdown.
Signs of trouble in the marriage
West has repeatedly insisted that he has “dominion” over his wife but claims he never forces her to do anything against her will. However, concerns have grown over Censori’s well-being, especially as she has frequently appeared in public in increasingly revealing outfits since their wedding.
Some sources suggest that their split is yet another publicity stunt, with West trying to divert attention from ongoing lawsuits, including sexual assault allegations against him.
A short-lived marriage
West and Censori met when he hired her as an architectural designer for Yeezy before his divorce from Kim Kardashian. In December 2022, they exchanged vows in a private ceremony, though no legal documents confirming their marriage were ever filed.
Despite their whirlwind romance, cracks soon appeared. Reports last year claimed they had briefly separated, only to reunite amid claims of West’s controlling behavior. Now, with Censori reportedly staying behind while West disappears from the spotlight, it seems their tumultuous relationship may finally be over.
