Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s whirlwind marriage is reportedly coming to an end, just 11 days after Censori made headlines with her near-nude appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards. The divorce follows a string of controversies surrounding West, including his recent anti-Semitic remarks and erratic social media outbursts.
Details of the Split:
Sources close to the couple reveal that a verbal agreement has already been made, with Censori set to receive a $5 million payout as part of the divorce settlement. It’s also been reported that the couple has physically separated, with Censori residing in their $35 million mansion in Beverly Park North, Los Angeles. As for West, his whereabouts remain unclear, with speculation suggesting he may return to Tokyo, where he spent much of the previous year.
Grammy Incident and Public Backlash:
Their relationship became particularly strained at the Grammy Awards on February 2, 2025, when West allegedly instructed Censori to remove her fur coat on the red carpet, leaving her in a nearly naked state in front of cameras. While sources claim Censori appeared uncomfortable, she reportedly complied with West’s demand. West defended the stunt, later calling it “art” and comparing it to the cover of his upcoming album, Vultures 2.
The Anti-Semitic Tirade:
Following the Grammy incident, West’s anti-Semitic tirade on X (formerly Twitter) reignited public outrage. West openly praised Hitler and the Nazis, which led to widespread condemnation from Hollywood figures, including Isla Fisher and David Schwimmer. Further fueling the backlash, West tried to sell a $20 T-shirt featuring a Nazi swastika, prompting Shopify to shut down his store within 24 hours.
Censori’s Public Image and Concerns:
Since their December 2022 wedding, Censori has often appeared in public wearing revealing outfits, leading to accusations that West was using her as part of a shock-value publicity stunt. Despite this, West has insisted that Censori dresses on her own terms, once posting on X, “I HAVE DOMINION OVER MY WIFE…BUT SHE DOESN’T DO ANYTHING SHE DOESN’T WANT TO.”
Legal Issues and Other Scandals:
Reports also suggest that the couple’s behavior, particularly West’s controversial actions, might have been intended as a distraction from his legal troubles. West faces serious accusations of drugging and sexually assaulting his former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, during a party with music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. West has vehemently denied these allegations, calling them baseless.
A Quick and Tumultuous Romance:
West and Censori’s relationship began in 2021, when West hired her as an architectural designer for his Yeezy brand, shortly before his divorce from Kim Kardashian. What initially seemed like a strong relationship, marked by a private wedding and luxury honeymoon, has quickly descended into a highly controversial and publicly scrutinized marriage. Now, just over a year later, their high-profile union appears to be coming to a dramatic and abrupt end.
