On February 2, the 67th edition of the most prestigious music awards, the Grammys, took place. The Recording Academy annually honors the most influential artists, songwriters, and performers. Despite the event’s friendly nature, controversy is never far behind. In fact, the most talked-about moment of the night was the appearance of rapper Kanye West alongside his wife, Bianca Censori, on the red carpet.

An hour after news of the breakup surfaced, Kanye broke silence on Instagram sharing a post that defined «coercion.» Titled «Is the coercion,» the post stated: «Yes, coercion is illegal. «Coercion is the act of forcing someone to do something against their will through threats or intimidation. «It can involve physical harm, psychological abuse, extortion, blackmail, or sexual assault.» Strangely, the post was deleted just minutes later.

A Scandalous Appearance

More than their presence—especially since Kanye had been banned from attending—it was what happened that ignited a media firestorm. The architect removed her fur coat, revealing herself completely naked, with only a sheer Lycra piece covering her. Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian’s ex-husband stood by her side, never removing his sunglasses, seemingly objectifying her like a trophy he had won.

Undoubtedly, Kanye West and Bianca Censori became the most talked-about couple of the night due to their red carpet appearance. Her daring outfit dominated headlines. However, that was as far as it went—they did not have an invitation to enter the ceremony.

What is the Reason for Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s Breakup?

Following the uproar, the couple has been under intense scrutiny. Rumors swirled on social media that Kanye forced his wife to expose herself in such a manner. Finally, what many suspected has happened—they are getting a divorce. A source close to both celebrities confirmed the news to the Daily Mail: «They have already separated and are awaiting legal filings to officially end their marriage in the coming days,» a source revealed.

Apparently, Bianca, who had already caused concern among her circle due to Kanye’s excessive control over her, had «had enough» of the rapper’s behavior, such as his delusional racist tweets (including the one where West claims to be a ‘Nazi’).

“She’s had enough. The swastika shirt was the last straw. She told him that’s not who she is, and that she can’t be associated with that,” a source told the New York Post on February, 15.

The source stated, “It reflects on her, and she doesn’t want any part of that circus. He believes that she’ll come back to him, he’s saying that she’s just ‘mad at him,’ but right now she’s told him that she’s completely done.”

For now, reports suggest that Kanye and Bianca are already living apart. Bianca is believed to be staying at her Beverly Park North home in Los Angeles, while Kanye’s whereabouts remain unknown. He may be headed to Japan, where he shared a residence with his still-legal wife.

It appears they have verbally agreed that, once the divorce papers are signed, Kanye will transfer a $5 million settlement to Bianca. Their marriage was short-lived, as they wed in December 2022.

Kanye and Bianca’s Representative Denies the Breakup

Reports that Kanye West and Bianca Censori are divorcing after separating just days after Bianca’s bold nude look at the 2025 Grammys and Kanye’s antisemitic social media outburst are completely untrue, their longtime representative told The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday.

“Ye and Bianca are in Los Angeles, about to enjoy Valentine’s Day together. Announcements about their private life will come from them directly, not unsourced rumor in the tabloid press,” Milo Yiannopoulos, the couple’s longtime rep, told THR on Thursday afternoon. “Is this the fifth or is it the sixth time the press has wrongly reported that Ye and Bianca are separating? I’ve lost track.”

Yiannopoulos also previously spoke out about the rumors that Kanye was controlling what Bianca Censori wore, including the possibility that he had «forced» her to go nude to the Grammys gala.

“There is a person controlling what Bianca Censori wears. The name of that person is Bianca Censori,” he revealed to THR.
