Kanye West and Bianca Censori ‘split’ just days after Grammys scandal and rapper’s vile X rant
Kanye West and Bianca Censori are reportedly heading for divorce, just 11 days after her controversial appearance at the Grammy Awards.
The couple, who married in December 2022, are said to have reached the end of their relationship, with legal proceedings expected in the coming days.
Sources indicate the couple have verbally agreed to a £5 million settlement payment for Censori following the marriage’s end, Mail Online reports.
A source close to the 47-year-old rapper has confirmed the split, with divorce papers expected to be filed imminently.
Censori, 30, is currently staying at the couple’s £35 million Beverly Park North mansion in Los Angeles.
West’s current whereabouts remain unknown, though speculation suggests he may return to Tokyo, Japan, where he spent considerable time last year residing in a hotel.
The split follows a tense moment at the Grammy Awards on February 2, where Censori appeared visibly uncomfortable on the red carpet.
Reports suggest West instructed her to remove her fur coat and create a scene, which she complied with despite apparent reluctance.
Following the Grammy appearance, West took to social media platform X to praise his wife’s red carpet debut.
“My wife’s first red carpet opened a whole new world. I keep staring at this photo like I was staring in admiration that night Thinking wow I am so lucky,” he wrote.
Amid backlash, West later claimed he had “dominion” over Censori, writing: “I HAVE DOMINION OVER MY WIFE THIS AINT NO WOKE AS FEMINIST S**T.”
In the days following the Grammys, West posted anti-Semitic content on X, declaring himself a Nazi and expressing admiration for Hitler.
He purchased Super Bowl advertising space for his clothing line, promoting a £20 t-shirt featuring a Nazi swastika. The site was shut down by Shopify within 24 hours.
West has since returned to X after deleting offensive posts, claiming his actions were a “social experiment”.
His behaviour has drawn condemnation from celebrities including Isla Fisher and David Schwimmer.
In a recent interview, West claimed he had been misdiagnosed as bipolar, stating he was actually autistic.
The rapper also made unusual claims about being a former Emperor of Japan, a belief he said was shared by Censori.
