Kanye West and Bianca Censori are reportedly heading for divorce, just 11 days after the model made headlines by appearing nearly nude alongside her husband at the Grammys.
According to a source close to the rapper, West, 47, and Censori, 30, have parted ways, with legal filings expected in the coming weeks, as reported by MailOnline.
Censori is said to be receiving a $5 million (£3.98 million) payout and is currently staying in the couple’s $35 million (£27.9 million) mansion in Beverly Park North, Los Angeles. Meanwhile, speculation suggests Kanye may be living in a Tokyo hotel, though his exact whereabouts remain unconfirmed.
Fallout from Kanye’s Latest Controversies
Reports indicate that Censori has been left deeply unsettled by West’s recent antisemitic remarks and inflammatory posts on social media platform X. Allegedly, she has now refused to continue working on their $25 million (£20 million) art film, which was already stirring controversy—particularly after Kanye briefly sold a T-shirt featuring a swastika design online.
The couple, who tied the knot in December 2022, attracted widespread attention at the Grammys on February 2 when Censori walked the red carpet in an entirely sheer dress. The backlash intensified after West took to X, where he declared himself “a Nazi,” professed admiration for Hitler, and made unsettling claims about having “dominion” over his wife.
Following the uproar, West erased all content from his website except for a single product listing—a T-shirt with a swastika, priced at $20 (£16.15). However, as of Tuesday, the site has been taken down, displaying an error message stating, “Something went wrong” and “This store is unavailable.”
Industry Backlash and Business Fallout
Many observers have suggested that Kanye’s actions at the Grammys reflected coercive control over Censori, sparking further concern over their relationship dynamic.
In response to his controversial merchandise, a Shopify representative confirmed to People Magazine that West’s online store had been removed for violating the platform’s terms and conditions.
“Kanye’s shop did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms, so we removed it from Shopify,” the company stated.
The fallout from West’s latest controversies has already cost him lucrative opportunities. He reportedly lost a $20 million (£16 million) deal to headline two concerts at the Tokyo Dome in May after outraging the Japanese public with his Grammys stunt. Many in Japan perceived his actions as “completely unacceptable” and an example of coercive control.
