Rumors swirled on Thursday alleging Bianca Censori had separated from controversial rapper Kanye West after two years of marriage, but the rapper’s spokesperson quickly denied the claims.
"They’re in Los Angeles, enjoying Valentine’s Day together," the spokesperson said. "Any updates on their personal lives will come directly from them, not anonymous gossip sources. This is the fifth or sixth time the media has falsely reported their split."
A chaotic two weeks
Speculation about the couple’s relationship followed two tumultuous weeks for West, whose public antics have overshadowed his once-celebrated music career. At the Grammy Awards, where he was nominated, he made a dramatic return after nearly a decade, accompanied by Censori.
The real shock came when she removed her oversized fur coat to reveal a sheer dress that left nothing to the imagination. The stunt drew criticism, especially since the event aimed to raise funds for Los Angeles wildfire victims. "It was disrespectful to the Grammys," a source close to the organizers said. "Kanye only cares about promoting himself."
Sources suggest that Censori’s provocative outfits are not just West’s doing. "She enjoys the attention," one insider said. However, others claim that West pressured her to wear the revealing outfit at the Grammys despite her initial reluctance. "She was anxious and tried to back out, but Kanye insisted," a source told the New York Post.
Following the red carpet spectacle, West boasted to paparazzi, "We beat the Grammys." He later posted Google search results showing that "Bianca Censori dress" had over five million searches, surpassing interest in the actual award winners. " For clarity February 4th, 2025 [sic], my wife is the most googled person on the planet called Earth.," he wrote.

Controversial statements and Nazi imagery
The controversy didn’t end there. In a podcast interview with Justin Laboy, West claimed he had been misdiagnosed as bipolar and was recently identified as autistic." I went to this doctor… My wife took me to do that," he said. “She said, ‘Something about your personality doesn’t feel like it’s bipolar, I’ve seen bipolar before.' And I’ve come to find that it’s really a case of autism that I have.”
West also revealed he had stopped taking medication prescribed for bipolar disorder. " It’s finding stuff that doesn’t block the creativity, obviously that’s what I bring to the world. It’s worth the ramp-up, as long as y’all get the creativity.”
He then reignited his antisemitic rhetoric. West said he declined an invitation to U.S. President Donald Trump’s inauguration because he was asked to apologize for past antisemitic comments. "They wanted me to say again that I’m not antisemitic."
Shortly after, West posted on his X account, writing "I’m a Nazi" and "I love Hitler," prompting backlash. Jewish-American actor David Schwimmer called on Elon Musk to ban West from X (formerly Twitter), citing the rapper’s 32.7 million followers — twice the global Jewish population.
West later deactivated his account, thanking Musk for allowing him a platform. Meanwhile, his online store briefly listed a $28 T-shirt featuring a Nazi swastika. Shopify removed the product, saying, "The seller violated our policies."
The rapper’s music agent, Daniel McCartney, dropped him, saying, "His hateful rhetoric is unacceptable."
Adding to the bizarre saga, posts allegedly from Censori’s verified X account surfaced, expressing concern for West, supporting Israel and calling for the release of hostages. However, her spokesperson denied the account’s authenticity and requested its removal.
Where does this leave West?
West’s latest controversies have further damaged his already tenuous reputation. While some speculate Censori might be reconsidering their relationship, others believe she remains willingly part of his chaotic world.
