From fully naked appearances on the red carpet to disturbing photoshoots on a boat, there have been many red flags in the relationship of Bianca Censori and Kanye West
Bianca Censori and Kanye West have reportedly split, marking the latest twist in their disturbing, turbulent marriage. The couple tied the knot two years ago, two months after the rapper’s divorce from Kim Kardashian was finalised.
Since then the musician has been in a seeming psychological and emotional spiral, accompanied by ever-present rumours about how much he controls his wife. In March, Kanye shared a photo of a person dressed in a Ku Klux Klan outfit on X, accompanied by the caption “Outfit of the day”, which the platform removed within hours.
The star’s latest worrying rants saw him don a black KKK-style hood as he claimed he had never wanted kids with ex-wife Kim Kardashian. He also took aim at Jay-Z and Beyonce’s children and in his new song BIANCA, he revealed his bizarre tweets had meant Bianca tried to have him “committed”. The 47-year-old star alleged his wife “ran away” and suffered from panic attacks after his rants, in lyrics saying: “Bianca, I just want you to come back/Come back to me/I know what I did to make you mad”.

“My baby she ran away/But first she tried to get me committed/Not going to the hospital ’cause I am not sick I just do not get it,” the song reveals. “She’s having a panic attack and she is not liking the way that I tweeted/Until Bianca’s back I stay up all night I’m not going to sleep/I really don’t know where she’s at.”
Throughout the course of Kanye’s relationship with Australian architect Bianca, who is 18 years his junior, worrying red flags have emerged about his controlling nature. Elsewhere in his new song, Kanye claimed to have used a tracking app to follow his 30-year-old beau. “She hop in the car and she ran/My b—- just don’t understand/Sometimes it just feel like it’s planned,” he rapped.
Kanye wrote about Bianca at the start of their relationship too, with a track Censori Overload hinting why they had walked down the aisle in a secret wedding in January 2023. “And The Bible said I can’t have any more sex till marriage”, the lyric went.
At the 67th Grammy Awards this February, Bianca bared all for the cameras in a completely transparent slip dress, dropping her, black fur coat to reveal her naked body. Kanye stood fully clothed by her side.
Bianca sporting extremely revealing clothing – and a vacant or uncomfortable facial expression – while her husband remained covered up was a common, disturbing sight throughout the course of their relationship. Speaking after the Grammys, chartered psychologist Dr Louise Goddard-Crawley told the Mirror why Bianca’s outfit could be a worrying sign.
“Reports of Kanye West allegedly imposing ‘rules’ on her, alongside concerns from family and friends, raise the possibility that this is more than just a bold fashion choice,” she said. “If Kanye does have a strong say in how Bianca presents herself, dressing in an extreme way might not be a personal choice but a way to maintain his approval or avoid conflict. It’s common in controlling relationships for one person’s preferences to dictate the other’s behaviour, sometimes to the point where their identity changes.”
The psychologist was referring to constant rumours that Kanye controlled most aspects of his wife’s life. “Kanye has a set of rules for Bianca, which includes ‘never speak’ and ‘wear what he wants her to wear’,” a source told the Daily Mail. “She is also required to eat certain food items and to work out even though Kanye doesn’t work out.”
In his new track BIANCA, on his album WW3, Kanye disturbingly called him and Bianca to “the new Cassie and Diddy”, referring to the disgraced music mogul who was accused by his singer ex of controlling and abusing her for a decade. An undisclosed settlement was reached after Cassie filed a lawsuit accusing Diddy of rape and sex trafficking.
Another worrying moment in the Gold Digger star’s latest relationship came in August 2023, when the couple jetted off to Italy and took a boat trip. Flashing his bum to a crowd of onlookers, not to mention the paparazzi, the rapper was caught in a compromising position with his wife crouched in front of him.
And Bianca isn’t the first of the musician’s partners to undergo a complete restyle. Actress Julia Fox wrote about her two month relationship with Kanye in her book Down the Drain, saying he had played a ” weird, twisted game” which left her feeling “used” and “dirty”.
Julia said within days of meeting Kanye, he had signed two of her best friends up to be her stylists, with the pair taking direction from him about what his new girlfriend could wear in public. During one memorable conversation, Kanye had dressed his girlfriend in a skimpy top but felt it didn’t sit right, leading him to offer to get her a boob job.
“The artist’s words cut through the air, sharp and unexpected. I look at myself in the mirror, taking in my post-baby body,” wrote Julia. “They’re not so bad, I think to myself.” Elsewhere, the actress claimed she felt like she had no control over her life anymore, with Kanye deciding all aspects of her public image.
When Kanye got together with megastar Kim, she was open about him transforming her appearance. In a 2018 interview with W magazine, she said: “I always thought I had really good style — until I met my husband.
“And he told me that I had the worst style. He was really nice about it and cleaned out my whole closet.” While the duo were out at a Lakers game, the rapper arranged for Kim’s wardrobe to be emptied and refilled with his designer picks.
“Kanye did the same thing he is doing with Bianca to Kim throughout their marriage,” a source told the Mail in 2023. “The difference is that when Kanye dressed Kim, he was respected as a person – as an artist.”
In February this year, following his latest online antisemitic rant, it was reported Bianca was encouraging Kanye to become a dad once more – he already has four kids with Kim. “Bianca is encouraging Kanye to have a baby, believing it will save their marriage and heal their relationship,” a source told the Daily Mail. “Bianca feels that having another child will calm Kanye down and prevent him from putting himself or her in danger with his actions”.
Instead, the couple look to have gone their separate ways to the assumed relief of Bianca’s family, who have previously voiced their concerns about the relationship. In Kanye’s new song, he raps: “Her family, they want me locked up/They want me to go on retreat/They want me to run and meet/They want me to [?]”.
