Kanye West married Yeezy designer Bianca Censori in a secret ceremony Thursday, according to reports.

While it doesn’t appear the pair’s marriage is technically legal since they have yet to file a marriage certificate, according to TMZ , they were spotted with their new rings as they arrived at the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills Thursday. West was sporting what appeared to be a wedding band on his left hand.

Meanwhile, the 45-year-old rapper briefly released a song titled “Censori Overload” — a tribute to his new leading lady.

The new track samples Donny Hathaway’s classic 1973 song “Someday We’ll All Be Free,” and was originally shared via his Instagram late-night on December 7, NME reported . It’s since been deleted but the caption shared with the song reportedly read: “Censori overload. The variable epitope library from the antigen promotes an immune response in the body.”

The track’s lyrics “address much of the last two months’ controversy,” according to Billboard , including “his strained relationship with ex-wife Kim Kardashian and his now-banned Twitter account.”

West and Kardashian, 42, settled their divorce in November after almost seven years of marriage. West dated Julia Fox at the beginning of 2022 — and she claimed to have been “delusional” while with him.

He most recently dated Brazilian model Juliana Nalú — who became “single” following West’s antisemitic remarks and praise of Adolf Hitler .

Since it appears the “Heartless” singer has settled down again, here’s everything you need to know about West’s new main squeeze, Bianca Censori:

Where did the go on their honeymoon?

The romantic getaway allegedly went down at the Amangiri , a ritzy five-star resort in Canyon Point, Utah with 34 suites and one four-bedroom Mesa home, Daily Mail first reported . The luxury spot is located on 600 acres in the Grand Circle of National Parks and Monuments. 

Ye and his bae reportedly indulged in the venue’s 25,000-square-foot Aman Spa for treatments based on the healing philosophies of the native Navajo.

Rooms range from $3,300 to $6,400 — with an average “suite” rate of $5,000. Prices for the freestanding home property — a 5,853-square-feet villa — are not disclosed to the general public.

What does Bianca Censori do for a living?

Censori is an architectural designer at West’s brand Yeezy. According to her LinkedIn profile, she’s been in the role since November 2020 — just over two years.

The Post has reached out to Censori — and former colleagues — for comment about how her change in marital status might impact her career trajectory with the brand.

How old is Bianca Censori?

In an article for iD in 2016, she listed her age as 21, clocking Censori at around 27 years old — about 15 years younger than West.

What are her Instagram or other social media handles?

An interview she did with Vogue linked to her Instagram account , which is no longer active. She also has a Pinterest account where she posts architectural inspirations.

What is Bianca Censori’s background?

Censori is originally from Melbourne, Australia, and now lives in Los Angeles.

Censori previously revealed she splits her time between the cities.

“The pandemic was the first time in a long time a lot of Australian creatives were brought back to one place,” Censori told Vogue. “Melbourne felt like this melting pot of global creativity. People began to cross disciplines and collaborate in ways I hadn’t experienced before.”

“In Melbourne I can cultivate my creativity and LA is where I apply it,” she added.

She has both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Architecture from the University of Melbourne, according to her LinkedIn.

After graduating high school, she started a jewelry brand called Nylons Jewellery, which she continued to run while she got her degrees. She went on to become a design consultant at Kelektiv and a student architect at DP Toscano Architects from July 2017 to June 2020 before starting her career at Yeezy.

She’s usually a brunette, but she recently changed her look to blond — which sparked confusion among West’s fans.

When did Bianca Censori and Kanye West meet?

It’s unknown exactly when the two met or when their relationship started, but given that Censori started working at Yeezy in November 2020, it’s thought that they met sometime around then.

Are Kanye West and Bianca Censori married?

TMZ reported that the pair got married in a private ceremony — but it doesn’t appear the pair filed a marriage certificate to make the union legally binding.

A source told the outlet that the ring symbolizes West’s “commitment” to Censori following the ceremony.

Following his controversial divorce from Kim Kardashian , Kanye West went on to give love a second chance, not just starting a new romance with his new partner Bianca Censori , but also shocking fans and online users after it was reported that the pair had decided to tie the knot in a secret ceremony that took place in Beverly Hills, in January 2023.

Born in 1995, the 28-year-old Australian architect was raised in what has been described as an affluent area, the Melbourne suburb of Ivanhoe, in Victoria. As reported by The Herald Sun, the new celebrity couple have spent some time in Ivanhoe, which could indicate that Kanye has already been introduced to her family.

Bianca grew up in a big family, with her two sisters Alyssia Censori and Angelina Censori , similar to Kim, who is known to have a close relationship with Khloé and Kourtney Kardashian. After studying for a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Architecture at the University of Melbourne between 2013 and 2020, Bianca started working at Kanye West’s fashion brand Yeezy in November 2020.

Who Is Kanye West's 'Wife' Bianca Censori? What to Know About the Woman Who Wed Ye

• Author: Jessica Sager

Kanye West is mixing business with pleasure. The artist now known as Ye has moved on from ex-wife   Kim Kardashian   and girlfriend  Julia Fox with Bianca Censori .

The openly anti-semitic rapper and designer first stepped out with Censori in early January 2023 and was reported to have tied the knot with her the same month. Since then, they've been spotted out together countless times, including in a series of outings in eye-popping outfits as they traveled to Italy and Germany . Get to know the woman who elected to have a commitment ceremony (married!) with the man who gave us "Monster"—and who's openly praised Hitler .

How did Kanye West meet Bianca Censori?

A friend of Censori revealed in a radio interview that West and Censori met the old-fashioned way: He slid into her DMs.

West reportedly told her, "‘Come and work for me,’" the friend dished, at which point she says Censori moved to Los Angeles to take him up on the offer.

Is Kanye West married to Bianca Censori?

For months, it wasn't clear what Censori and West's deal was, as it appeared they tied the knot without a marriage in January. But in early October,  The Daily Mail claimed to have uncovered a document that proves the two are legitimately husband and wife.

According to the publication, the marriage was performed under a "confidential marriage" license, meaning that while it never became a matter of public record, it is a legally binding document.

The pair's romance has been a whirlwind one, with news of their wedding coming just days after they were first spotted publicly on a dinner date. Fans of Ye pointed out, however, that his track " Censori Overload ," a play on her last name , dropped in December 2022, so it's safe to assume that he was at least interested in her for a month before putting a ring on it.

Outside of titles, their relationship is serious enough that West introduced Censori to his daughter  North   months ago now.  Cameras caught the group when they all hit up Universal Studios Hollywood together in early March 2023.

Where is Bianca Censori from?

Censori hails from Melbourne, Australia, and currently lives in Los Angeles. In June 2022, she explained to Vogue Australia   that the COVID-19 crisis brought her back home to Melbourne, at least temporarily. "The pandemic was the first time in a long time a lot of Australian creatives were brought back to one place. Melbourne felt like this melting pot of global creativity ," she said. "People began to cross disciplines and collaborate in ways I hadn't experienced before."

As The Daily Mail pointed out , Censori has two stylish and arguably Kardashian-esque sisters, Angelina and Alyssia. 

Angelina told The Herald Sun ( via the The Daily Mail ) that her family was happy with Bianca's relationship but not looking to be in the spotlight. "It’s very exciting news for both my sister and the family but we choose to have some privacy for the time being," she said.

Alyssia added that she was "super happy for them both."

What does Bianca Censori do for a living?

Censori is an architectural designer for Yeezy, but she has other hustles as well. She has her own jewelry line called Nylons. She told i-D in 2016 that the brand began with her making simple chokers from mesh.

"I started selling those and from there it slowly kept growing," she said. "Once I started architecture I still wanted some sort of creative outlet so I kept making jewelry as something to do on the side and it grew into a business!"

What does Bianca Censori do for Yeezy?

Censori is an architectural designer for Yeezy, with her official title being "Head Architect," per her LinkedIn account . While it sounds a little outside of the realm of, say, puffer coats and foam sneakers, it's worth noting that plenty of designers have been influenced by architecture in their work.

Now that Adidas and Gap have each ended their relationships with Yeezy following West's anti-semitic tirades, it remains to be seen how that may or may not impact the overall design process from the label.

Is Bianca Censori a real architect?

The same friend who dished on how Censori and West met said that she isn't sure if Censori is a "real architect." That said, it's probably at least a little sexist to assume she isn't an architect. If she is capable of the job, gets paid for the job and performs it adequately, then she's an architect.

Where did Bianca Censori go to school?

Before going to work for the man who would be her "husband," Censori studied architecture at the University of Melbourne in her native Australia. Her LinkedIn says she has both a bachelor's and a master's degree in architecture from the school.

Kanye West’s Rumored Wife Bianca Censori: 5 Things to Know About the Yeezy Architectural Designer

Bound to fall in love? Kanye West and top Yeezy employee Bianca Censori exchanged vows after he finalized his divorce from Kim Kardashian .

“Kanye and Bianca did have a small marriage ceremony, friends don’t know if it’s legal, but it’s very real to them,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly on Friday, January 13, about the union between the “Famous” rapper, 45, and Censori, 27. The couple first sparked romance rumors just days earlier when they were spotted holding hands while walking into the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Beverly Hills. West was also sporting a ring on his left ring finger. It was the first time the Chicago native had been seen in weeks following the fallout from his antisemitism scandal .

Though neither West nor Censori have addressed the relationship rumors — and the Australia native’s social media accounts are private — her sister gushed about the duo’s romance .

“It’s very exciting news for both my sister and the family, but we choose to have some privacy for the time being,” Angelina Censori told Australia’s the Herald Sun , per the Daily Mail . Alyssia Censori , another relative of the designer’s, told the outlet that she was “super happy for them both.”

For her part, Kardashian, 41, shared a cryptic message via Instagram amid the marriage rumors surrounding her ex, with whom she shares four children: North, 9, Saint, 7, Chicago, 5, and Psalm, 3.

“I’m in my quiet girl era, I don’t have much to say. Just much to do,” the Kardashians star posted via her Instagram Story at the time. The post was later deleted.

West appeared to tease his relationship with Censori — who has been the Head of Architecture at Yeezy since November 2020, per her LinkedIn profile — one month before news of their marriage broke. In December 2022, the Grammy winner posted a new song via Instagram — one that contained his rumored new wife’s last name in the title.

“Censori overload,” the “Gold Digger” artist captioned the upload at the time, per NME .

Who is Bianca Censori? Inside her unconventional marriage to Kanye West

15 November 2023, 08:18 | Updated: 11 December 2023, 09:49

By Kieran Kelly

Kanye West and Bianca Censori's 'unconventional' marriage is back in the spotlight after the Australian architect 'fled' to her native country to escape the rapper's 'controlling ways.

Listen to this article

The pair wed in January in a private ceremony, according to reports, just one month after the rapper's divorce from Kim Kardashian was finalised.

The pair's marriage is rumoured to be full of rules, with a source claiming Kanye boss 'controls everything about his spouse'.

Here is everything you need to know about Bianca Censori and her marriage to Kanye West.

Who is Bianca Censori?

Bianca Censori is an Australian architect, believed to be aged 28.

Censori earned both an undergraduate and masters degree in architecture at the University of Melbourne, which she finished in 2020.

She started at Yeezy as an architect in 2020 and rose to become head of the architecture vision at the company.

Asked about how she got into architecture, she said in 2021: "As a child I was consistently drawn to creative endeavors, mostly artistic.

"I always wanted to be a sculptor and to me, architecture is the union of art and pragmatics. It is the grandest artistic gesture that we can place onto the earth. I was drawn to it, purely, as a shift in artistic scale.”

Inside Bianca and Kanye's marriage

The couple were first spotted in public together in January and rumours swirled about whether or not they were married.

Documents obtained by the Daily Mail show the couple officially wed in December 2022, one month after his divorce from Kim Kardashian.

Their marriage has been in the spotlight ever since.

One of the most controversial aspects of their marriage are alleged rules Kanye has for Bianca, which includes when to speak and what to wear.

A source spoke to Daily Mail that claimed to be close to Bianca revealed: "Kanye has a set of rules for Bianca, which includes never speak and wear what he wants her to wear.

"She is also required to eat certain food items and to work out even though Kanye doesn’t work out. She has no mind of her own anymore and obeys him because he has convinced her that they are royal."

A source also told the publication that friends are "concerned" for Bianca as they shared: "Everyone is extremely concerned. This isn’t who she is.

"She is an incredibly outspoken and lively person who is never one to keep her mouth shut."

As the pair enjoyed time in Venice, it appeared that foods such as kebabs or ice cream and drinks like watermelon juice or soda were on the 'approved' list.

There is no sign of what is not allowed and whether its just for Bianca to follow or whether Kanye follows this diet too.

Fashion designers told Page Six that Kanye has "a whole atelier in Italy" creating the outfits he decides for his wife, including all in one body stockings that cover Bianca's entire figure and head.

One designer told the publication: "Anything he wants to make they can make it. He’s really just making it on the spot."

Bianca has reportedly 'fled' to her native Australia and is 'seeing things from an outsider's perspective' after her friends staged an intervention.

Kanye West New Wife, Bianca Censori Biography: Age, Career, Parent, Siblings, Net Worth, Instagram, Pictures

Bianca Censori  (born January 5, 1995) has emerged as a multifaceted Australian talent, captivating attention as an accomplished architect and a celebrated model and visionary entrepreneur. Her dynamic career trajectory has been further illuminated by her connection to the internationally renowned American musician  Kanye West , with whom she is rumoured to have recently tied the knot.

Bianca Censori’ s life story is intricately woven into the vibrant tapestry of Melbourne, Australia. Born and raised in this diverse and culturally rich city and she is currently 29 years of age. Bianca’s upbringing was shaped by the unique blend of her mixed family background, with her mother,  Alexander Censori , and her father,  Leo Censori , providing a strong foundation of heritage and values.

Her formative years were spent alongside her two sisters,  Angelina Censori  and  Alyssia Censori,  as they navigated the challenges and joys of growing up together. The Censori household was a nurturing environment that encouraged curiosity and creativity, setting the stage for  Bianca’s  journey ahead.

Bianca’s  educational path took her on a compelling trajectory. She embarked on her academic journey at  Carey Baptist Grammar School , an institution renowned for its commitment to holistic education. Here, she laid the groundwork for her intellectual and personal growth, honing her critical thinking skills and embracing a thirst for knowledge.

In 2012,  Bianca’s  educational chapter at  Carey Baptist Grammar School  ended, marking the end of a significant era in her life. Armed with the lessons and experiences gained, she embarked on a new adventure at the esteemed University of Melbourne. Guided by her passion for architecture, she pursued her studies with unwavering determination, immersing herself in the complexities of design, innovation, and spatial aesthetics.

In 2017,  Bianca Censori  proudly emerged as a graduate of the University of Melbourne, armed with a bachelor’s degree in Architecture. Her academic journey was a testament to her dedication and commitment to her career, and it laid the foundation for her future endeavours in architectural design.

After completing her education,  Bianca’s  career journey took a promising turn as she earned her certification as an architectural designer. Even in school, she showcased her talents by serving as a Designer Consultant at  Keletiv  for a year and a half. Following her graduation, she seamlessly transitioned into the role of a student architect, where she dedicated three years to honing her architectural skills.

In the pivotal year of 2020,  Bianca  achieved a significant milestone by landing a coveted position as a full-time Architectural Designer at  YEEZY , a renowned company owned by none other than  Kanye West . Situated in the vibrant state of California, this accomplishment marked a turning point that led her to relocate to the United States.

Beyond her architectural prowess,  Bianca  also made a notable entrance into the modelling industry, capturing attention with her striking beauty and enviable physique. Collaborating with prominent fashion brands, she showcased her versatility and elegance on the runway and in front of the camera.

Not content with stopping there,  Bianca’s  entrepreneurial spirit led her to establish her jewellery company shortly after completing her university education. As the CEO, she successfully manages the company, crafting and selling exquisite jewellery products through her online platform.

Personal Life

Bianca Censori’s  personal life has been the subject of considerable speculation, particularly regarding her relationship with renowned musician and entrepreneur  Kanye West . Although these details remain unconfirmed by the individuals involved, various sources suggest a romantic connection between the two.

Their paths reportedly converged in 2020 when  Bianca  secured a position within  Kanye West’s  firm. This professional association sparked a deeper connection, and rumours of a blossoming romance began circulating. Despite the private nature of their relationship, there have been numerous instances where they’ve been photographed together, often in the bustling city of Los Angeles.

Notably,  Bianca  has been spotted wearing a wedding ring, which has intensified speculations about a potential marriage between the two. However,  Bianca  and  Kanye  have maintained silence, neither confirming nor denying the rumours around them.

Prior to these rumoured developments,  Kanye West  was previously married to reality TV star  Kim Kardashian . Their high-profile union commenced in 2014 and spanned eight years, during which they welcomed four children into their family.

Describing  Bianca Censori  beyond her alleged relationship, she stands at a height of approximately 5 feet 4 inches (163 cm) and reportedly weighs around 57 kilograms. While her personal life remains mysterious, her apparent achievements and connection to  Kanye West  have intrigued the public, arousing heightened curiosity about her background and aspirations.

Bianca Censori’s incredible transformation before and after Kanye West ‘marriage’ revealed

Prior to her relationship with kanye, bianca’s style mirrored kim kardashian.

Bianca Censori, who seamlessly transitioned from being Kanye West's employee to his partner in a non-legally binding ceremony in Beverly Hills in January 2023, has seen a dramatic transformation in her style since aligning her life with the rapper. 

This change came shortly after Kanye, also known as Ye, finalized his divorce from Kim Kardashian, marking a new chapter for both. With a background that includes a Master of Architecture from the University of Melbourne, attained in 2020, Bianca's pre-Ye life remains largely under wraps. 

She's currently an architectural designer at Kanye's brand Yeezy, she joined the company in November 2020. She’s thought to be almost 20 years Ye’s junior - she appeared in an article for iD in 2016 with her age stated as 21 (born circa 1995). West was born in 1977.

Bianca started a jewellery company called Nylons after high school, and carried on the business during her studies. Notably, she is believed to be the daughter of Elia “Leo” Censori, a figure with a past shadowed by his imprisonment in 1982 for possession of illegal firearms.

In a no-longer-available 2021 interview with Hypebeast, Bianca opened up about growing up in Australia and why she was drawn to architecture. 

 "I was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia," she said. "As a child I was consistently drawn to creative endeavours, mostly artistic. I always wanted to be a sculptor and to me, architecture is the union of art and pragmatics. It is the grandest artistic gesture that we can place onto the earth. I was drawn to it, purely, as a shift in artistic scale."

 "As a child, I spent a lot of time with my aunt who would consistently expose me to an array of art, film, and architecture," she continued, detailing her work's raison d'être. "She really drove my love for design and instilled in me an eye for aesthetics that I was able to nurture into adulthood."

Kanye West has a noted history of influencing the fashion choices of his partners, famously revamping Kim Kardashian's wardrobe and taking Julia Fox on a lavish shopping spree. 

Bianca, now sporting a platinum blond pixie cut in stark contrast to her previous brunette locks, fully embodies the Yeezy brand's signature look of monochromatic neutrals and form-fitting silhouettes.

Prior to her relationship with Kanye, Bianca’s style mirrored that of Kim Kardashian, with a penchant for contouring, long dark hair, and eye-catching evening wear. 

However, since her involvement with Kanye, she has shifted towards a wardrobe defined by sheer fabrics and a neutral color palette, indicative of the Yeezy aesthetic.

Her transformation is evident in her choice of attire for events like Burning Man in 2022, where she opted for a chainmail bikini, a far cry from the Yeezy-centric outfits she now favors. 

Nowadays, Bianca is often seen in sheer tights, bra tops, and other Yeezy staples, rarely straying from the brand's preferred shades of black, gray, and cream.

This alignment with the Yeezy look extends to footwear, with Censori frequently seen in sock boots or going barefoot, embracing the brand's minimalist ethos. 

Her wardrobe now includes an array of second-skin bodysuits, a Yeezy staple, which she confidently pairs with see-through leotards and tights for public appearances with Kanye.

Censori's bold fashion choices have not been without controversy. Recently, her decision to wear completely see-through tights in Paris, exposing herself in public, has sparked discussions about potential legal repercussions. 

Such an act of "sexual display" could lead to a significant fine or imprisonment under French law, highlighting the complexities and consequences of her newfound public persona.

Who Is Bianca Censori? What to Know About Kanye West's Alleged New Wife

Nearly two months after finalizing his divorce from Kim Kardashian, Ye has moved on with a woman named Bianca Censori. Here's everything you need to know.

Image via Facebook

It looks like  Kanye West  has moved on from  Kim Kardashian . 

Nearly two months after his divorce from the reality star was finalized, Ye has reportedly found love again.  TMZ  broke the news on Jan. 13 that the rapper reportedly tied the knot with a mystery woman named Bianca Censori. 

According to the outlet, the couple exchanged their vows in a private ceremony. However, it’s up in the air whether or not the marriage is legal as it doesn’t appear they obtained a marriage license yet. Ye has already been spotted rocking a new wedding ring, symbolizing his new union. “Kanye and Bianca did have a small wedding ceremony,” a source told Us Weekly . “Friends don’t know if it’s legal, but it’s very real to them.”

The relationship also comes a year after his quick fling with Julia Fox last year, and his being linked to a few other women since his split from Kardashian, but none have gotten to this level of seriousness. So, the question remains: Who is this new mystery woman in Ye’s life?

The Australian native worked at Yeezy for a few years, before holding the position of Head of Architecture, per  her LinkedIn profile . Ye also dropped a song titled “Censori Overload” in December, seemingly referencing his then-budding romance with the reported 27-year-old. While the news of the rapper’s new marriage seems sudden, we’ve managed to gather a few facts about Censori. 

Here’s everything you need to know about Bianca Censori, Kanye’s West’s alleged new wife.

She is from Australia

Censori is from Melbourne, Australia, and currently lives in Los Angeles. During an interview with Vogue , the 27-year-old detailed splitting her time between the two cities. “The pandemic was the first time in a long time a lot of Australian creatives were brought back to one place,” Censori told the outlet. “Melbourne felt like this melting pot of global creativity. People began to cross disciplines and collaborate in ways I hadn’t experienced before.”

She works at Ye’s Yeezy brand

Censori has been working as an architectural designer for Kanye West’s Yeezy since November 2020. According to her LinkedIn profile, she is also the head of architecture at the company. Prior to her ties with Ye’s company, she worked as a student architect at DP Toscano Architects from 2017 to 2020.

Long before she became the head of architecture at Yeezy, Censori spent years studying the art form. She attended undergraduate school at the University of Melbourne from 2013 to 2017. She later returned for her master’s degree two years later, according to her LinkedIn. 

She was formerly a brunette

On Jan. 9, TMZ captured Ye and Censori grabbing something to eat together at the Beverly Hills Waldorf Astoria. At the time, she rocked what appeared to be recently dyed blonde hair. The two looked cozy as they sat next to each other in a booth.

Ye mentioned Censori in a song

While the news of their marriage seems sudden, Ye has spoken about Censori in the past. Back in December, the rapper dropped a song titled “ Censori Overload ,” which has also been called “Someday We’ll All Be Free,” The Source reports. In the song, the Chicago native seemingly alluded to moving on while referencing his then-marriage problems. “Wakin’ up to ‘I can’t do this anymore’ texts/And the Bible said I can’t have any more sex ’til marriage.”

Kim Kardashian reacts to news of their union

On Jan. 12, Kardashian took to Instagram Stories with a cryptic message amid reports of her ex-husband’s new marriage. “I’m in my quiet girl era, I don’t have much to say. Just much to do,” the since-deleted post read. 

Last month, Kardashian sat down for a lengthy interview with Angie Martinez where she talked about co-parenting with West. The reality star broke down in tears, saying the father of her four children isn’t the easiest person to deal with.

Kim Kardashian, Kanye West strike a divorce deal: $200,000 a month in child support

Kim Kardashian and the rapper once known as Kanye West have a divorce settlement, finally, nearly two years after she filed to end their marriage.

Nov. 29, 2022

West and Censori have been spotted around Los Angeles, but the rapper hinted at his romance with the architect back in December.

Amid backlash for his antisemitic behavior, West (who legally changed his name to Ye) quietly released a song that sampled Donny Hathaway’s “Someday We’ll All Be Free.” West shared the song and its lyrics in since-deleted Instagram posts, including one that read “Censori Overload,” a play on his reported new wife’s last name.

The rapper’s tune, which referenced an interview with Alex Jones and his controversial Paris Fashion Week moment wearing White Lives Matter shirts with Candace Owens, also mentioned not having “any more sex till marriage.”

The alleged newlyweds reportedly honeymooned at the luxury resort Amangiri in Canyon Point, Utah. Earlier this week, TMZ spotted the couple enjoying a meal at the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills.

On Nov. 29, West and reality star Kardashian settled their divorce. According to the settlement, the exes will share custody of their four young children and the rapper must pay $200,000 a month in child support to the “Kardashians” star.

Why Kanye West’s Wife Bianca Censori Is Allegedly ‘Freaking Out’ Over Him Entering The Porn Industry

Ye wants to make his mark in another industry.

Despite the various professional setbacks Kanye West has faced over the past several years, the polarizing rapper continues to pursue business ventures. He just recently made headlines, because he’s reportedly taking steps to jump into a major new enterprise. According to sources (and the rapper himself), West wants in on the porn industry and knows how he wants to proceed. What some may be wondering amid this aspiration is how West’s legally wed wife, Bianca Censori , feels about it. Well, if a source is to be believed, she’s allegedly “freaking out” for a specific reason.

29-year-old Bianca Censori worked as an architectural designer for her 46-year-old hubby before they tied the knot in 2023. Months after the ceremony, it was reported that Censori was also impacting Ye’s work and that the two had been collaborating. Interestingly enough, an insider alleged that the rapper’s spouse is now under the impression that she’ll play a key role in his plans for the adult film industry moving forward:

She’s freaking out, and with good reason. He’s been strutting her around and dressing her like she’s a porn star — and now she knows why!

The “dressing” comments shared by inTouch’s source reference the outfits that the designer has been wearing while out in public with her husband. For months now, paparazzi have captured various pics of Bianca Censori in revealing clothing amid public outings. One such excursion saw her sporting nothing but neon green tights and a tube top and, during another, she wore a condom-life outfit . Censori has also donned daring looks for photoshoots, including one that involved only body tape .

With all of this, some have wondered how much control she has over her attire, with some asserting that it’s all a publicity stunt. As for how Censori feels about her outfits compared to starring in pornos for her husband’s new entertainment banner, the source went on to say:

Bianca went along with him parading her around like she was in some kind of freaky fashion show because she thought it could turn her into a star, but skin flicks are beyond the pale.

In a since-deleted Instagram post (via Daily Mirror ), Kanye West confirmed that “Yeezy Porn” is on the way. Per previous reports, West wants this to be one division of the entertainment branch of his brand. It was also said that he’d teamed up with adult film producer Mike Moz (who was once married to pornographic actress Stormy Daniels) to help him get started in the business.

Ye’s machinations have reportedly caused strife within his company, as Milo Yiannopoulos, Yeezy’s former chief of staff, exited the company over its shift to porn . While sharing his reasoning, Yiannopoulos said that he “cannot be complicit in the production or dissemination of pornographic films and literature, for moral and religious reasons.” He also said that “such material and the kind of people invariably involved in its production” pose a danger to him personally, because he’s a “recovering addict.”

Only time will tell what happens with the burgeoning “Yeezy Porn” label and whether it actually manages to get off the ground. At this point, we can also only speculate on Bianca Censori’s true feelings and whether she’lll be tasked with assisting the productions (or starring in them) on some level.

Kanye West is an outspoken Grammy Award-winning rapper, record producer and fashion designer.

Who Is Kanye West?

Kanye Omari West was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 8, 1977. His father, Ray, was a photojournalist for the Atlanta Journal newspaper and was also politically active in the Black Panthers; he later became a Christian counselor. West's mother, Donda, was a teacher who became a professor of English at Chicago State University, and eventually, her son's manager before she died at the age of 58 from heart disease after cosmetic surgery in 2007. Her passing would profoundly affect West musically as well as personally.

Ray and Donda divorced amicably when West was three. After that he was raised on Chicago's middle-class South Shore neighborhood by his mother, and spent summers with his father. At the age of 10, West moved for a year with Donda to China, where she taught as part of a university-exchange program; he was the only foreigner in his class. After returning to Chicago, West was drawn to the South Side's hip-hop scene, and he befriended the DJ and producer No I.D., who became his mentor. West graduated from Polaris High School and won a scholarship to study at Chicago's American Academy of Art — but dropped out of college altogether to pursue music, an act that would inform the title of his first solo album years later.

Music Producer

After spending time producing for local artists, West developed a signature style, dubbed "chipmunk soul," characterized by sped-up soul samples. He then moved to New York in 2001. Here he got his big break handling the production for the Jay-Z track "This Can't Be Life," which appeared on the 2000 album Dynasty: Roc La Familia . The following year he cemented his burgeoning reputation by producing four songs on Jay Z's The Blueprint , widely regarded as one of the greatest rap albums of all time. From there, West went on to produce for other stellar talents, including the rappers Mos Def, Talib Kweli and Ludacris , and the singers Alicia Keys and Beyoncé .

But West was not content to be a backroom player. He wanted to be the headline act but initially struggled to be taken seriously as a rapper. He pleaded with Roc-A-Fella records to let him rap, but as co-founder Jay-Z later told Time magazine, "We all grew up street guys who had to do whatever we had to do to get by. Then there's Kanye, who to my knowledge has never hustled a day in his life. I didn't see how it could work." West got a similar response from other labels. "I'd leave meetings crying all the time," he recalled.

With reluctance, Damon Dash signed West to Roc-A-Fella in 2002, but he did so mostly to retain him as a producer. That October, as West was driving home from a recording session in a California studio, he was involved in a head-on car collision that left him with a shattered jaw. He wrote and recorded a song about the experience, "Through the Wire," with his jaw still wired shut following reconstructive surgery. He then wrote much of the rest of his debut album while recuperating in L.A. But once the album was complete, it was leaked online. In response, West decided to make it better: he revised and rewrote songs and refined the production, adding stronger drums, gospel choirs and strings (he paid for orchestras out of his own pocket).

'The College Dropout'

The album was finally released in February 2004 — it sold 2.6 million copies and made West a star. Titled The College Dropout , it broke the gangsta-rap mold, with themes including consumerism (he was critical of it back then), racism, higher education and his religious beliefs. On the single "Jesus Walks" he rapped, "They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus /That means guns, sex, lies, videotapes/But if I talk about God, my record won't get played." The College Dropout peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart, and West received 10 Grammy nominations, winning three awards including Best Rap Song for "Jesus Walks" and Best Rap Album. Shortly after the album was released, West founded his record label, GOOD music — an acronym for Getting Out Our Dreams — in conjunction with Sony BMG. He would put out music by John Legend , Big Sean, Common , Pusha-T and more.

'Late Registration'

West spent a year and $2 million on his sophomore album, hiring an orchestra and working with the composer Jon Brion, who had never worked with a rapper before. West, the restless bourgeois-creative, wanted to "see how far he could expand" hip hop, he told the New York Times. The results were spectacular, yielding another three Grammy wins — Best Rap Album again, plus Best Rap Song for "Diamonds from Sierra Leone," and Best Rap Solo Performance for "Gold Digger." Late Registration debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 200 — a feat West would repeat with every subsequent solo album release.

"On Late Registration , the Louis Vuitton Don doesn't just set out to create pop music — he wants to be pop music," wrote Rob Sheffield in Rolling Stone's five-star review of the album. "So he steps up his lyrical game, shows off his epic production skills, reaches higher, pushes harder, and claims the whole world of music as hip hop turf."

In September 2005, a month after Late Registration 's release, West appeared on an NBC broadcast to raise funds for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. He caused a national media storm — his first, but by no means his last — when he opined live on air that " George Bush doesn't care about Black people," articulating widespread criticism of the president for not visiting the devastated city of New Orleans right away. Bush was deeply stung by West's comment, later calling it a "disgusting moment."

'Graduation'

After touring with U2 in 2005-2006, West was inspired to make hip hop more anthemic, to be performed in stadiums and arenas. He began to draw influence from both rock 'n' roll (the Stones, Led Zeppelin, the Killers) and house music (which originated in his hometown of Chicago). This led to his third album, Graduation , on September 11, 2007. It dropped the same day as 50 Cent 's album Curtis , in what was hyped as a battle for hip-hop's soul — the erudite showman versus the bullet-scarred street thug. But with Graduation 's groundbreaking (for hip-hop) palette of layered electronic synthesizers, and sloganeering wordplay — "I'm like the fly Malcolm X /Buy any jeans necessary," he smirked on "Good Morning" — there could only be one winner. West's album sold 957,000 copies in its first six days, going straight to No. 1.

With the music industry beginning to wring its hands about the effect of the internet on its profit margins, West simply embraced the change with his video for the single "Can't Tell Me Nothing," for which he hired the comedian Zach Galifianakis to lip-sync along to the lyrics on an alternate version, creating a viral sensation on YouTube.

Mother's Death

West was on top of the world, hailed as the artist who had killed gangsta rap. And then, in November 2007, tragedy struck. His beloved mother, Donda, died from a heart attack following cosmetic surgery. During his first concert following the funeral, he dedicated a performance of "Hey Mama" to her. Months later, West broke up with his fiancée, Alexis Phifer. His next album, 808s & Heartbreak , released 12 months after his mom died, was shot through with grief, pain and alienation. West even abandoned rapping altogether, preferring to sing through an Auto-Tune vocal processor, which lent his voice a robotic tone — a technique now ubiquitous in hip hop. He classified the new album as "pop art" (not to be confused with the visual art movement) and announced: "Hip hop is over for me." (It wasn't — he won two Grammys for guest raps he made that year, on Estelle's "American Boy" and TI's "Swagga Like Us.")

Taylor Swift VMA Diss and Feud

The fragility of West's state of mind was called into question at the MTV Video Music Awards the following year. At the ceremony in Radio City Music Hall in New York, he invaded the stage during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for the Best Female Video award (for "You Belong to Me") to protest that Beyoncé should have won instead.

The reverberations from that moment are still being felt. West apologized, then retracted his apology in a New York Times interview in 2013. By 2015 they had become friends and were even spotted at dinner together. Then in 2016 Kanye rapped on his song "Famous": "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that b**** famous." Swift hit back from the stage at the 2016 Grammy Awards — this time uninterrupted — with the words: "I want to say to all the young women out there: There will be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments... Don't let those people sidetrack you."

After the Swift debacle, West took a break from music to focus on fashion. He had already been collaborating with labels including A Bathing Ape and Nike on limited-edition sneakers since 2006. He even reportedly interned at Gap in 2009, and later Fendi, to gain experience. He launched his first collection in Paris in 2011 — but it was widely panned. "You can't just dump some fox fur on a runway and call it luxury," sniffed Long Nguyen, style director of Flaunt magazine. West gave a wounded-sounding speech at the show's after-party. "Please be easy," he said. "Please give me a chance to grow." After his second collection a year later received a lukewarm reception, West announced he would no longer be showing in Paris.

He collaborated with the French label APC on a capsule collection in 2013 and signed a $10 million deal with Adidas, launching his first apparel collection Yeezy Season 1, with the brand in October 2015. The line has had a mixed reception — although his Season 5 collection in February 2017 won praise from Anna Wintour . "I liked it a lot," she told the New York Post. "A little bit more focus than sometimes we've seen from him."

'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy'

West returned to music in November 2010 with his fifth album — with paranoid celebrity and rampant consumption the dominant themes: it was a bombastic and towering monument to self-aggrandizement that sounded "like an instant greatest hits" according to Pitchfork. It was the best and worst of Kanye West rolled into one: a magnum opus that bordered on the delusional. It yielded four singles, including "Monster," on which West, Jay Z and Rick Ross were memorably battered into runners-up spots by a blistering guest verse from Nicki Minaj . West and his old sparring partner Jay Z then released a collaborative album, Watch the Throne in 2011 — it yielded seven singles including "Otis" and "Niggas in Paris"; and added three more Grammy wins to West's and Jay Z's respective hauls.

Marriage to Kim Kardashian and Children

In 2012 West released a compilation album, Cruel Summer , showcasing artists on his GOOD Music label. But that year the headlines were more concerned over his relationship with the reality-TV star Kim Kardashian, which began in April. They got engaged in October 21, 2013, after West proposed at the AT&T baseball stadium in San Francisco, and they married on May 24, 2014, in the historic Fort di Belvedere in Italy. Andrea Bocelli sang as Kardashian walked down the aisle, in front of guests that included the designer Rachel Roy, the tennis champion Serena Williams , the film director Steve McQueen and music stars Legend, Q-Tip, Rick Rubin, Tyga and Lana Del Rey . The couple have three children: daughter North (born June 15, 2013) son Saint (born December 5, 2015) and another daughter (born via surrogate January 15, 2018). The couple welcomed their fourth child, son Psalm, via surrogate in May 2019.

In February 2021, Kardashian filed for divorce from West.

Anyone listening to West's sixth album, Yeezus , which came out in June 2013, would hear little evidence that the rapper was living an idyllic existence. Sonically the album was abrasive, raw and almost entirely melody-free — West had enlisted the producer Rick Rubin to make wholesale changes just days before the release. Lyrically, West sounded paranoid and narcissistic to the point of bathos, especially on "I Am a God," which contained the immortal line "Hurry up with my damn croissants."

West claimed the album was an "attack on the commercial," and certainly it contained little that was radio-friendly — barring the magnificent glam-rock-inspired single, "Black Skinhead" (the first of only two singles from the album). Yeezus remains the only West album to have sold fewer than 1 million copies in the US. Yet it was critically well received — not least by the rock legend Lou Reed, who told Rolling Stone that "Each track is like making a movie... The guy really, really, really is talented."

Jimmy Kimmel Beef

A Twitter spat erupted that September with West and Jimmy Kimmel , after the talk-show host mocked an interview West had given to the BBC in the UK. Kimmel hired child actors to recite some of West's more bombastic quotes on his show. But West was far from amused. "Jimmy Kimmel is out of line to try and spoof in any way the first piece of honest media in years," read one of a series of angry tweets. Kimmel gleefully read out West's tweets during his next show — sparking more opprobrium from the rapper, who shared a link to a Slate article titled: "Kanye was right."

The following month West appeared in person on Jimmy Kimmel Live — the interview lasted most of the episode, and featured several free-flowing Kanye monologues, covering everything from his career to his thoughts on the paparazzi, Steve Jobs and Jesus. "I don't know if you know this, but a lot of people think you're a jerk," joked Kimmel, although he went on to praise West's character. It turned out the two had known each other prior to the spat, which was why West had been hurt by Kimmel's portrayal of him. Kimmel admitted that considering a celebrity's feelings was "not something that comes to mind when I'm cooking up a comedy sketch." By the end of the show they had cleared the air.

Collaboration with Paul McCartney, Rihanna and More Public Outbursts

At the start of 2015 West became the only rapper in history to record with Paul McCartney , releasing a single, "Four Five Seconds," with the Beatles legend and Rihanna . But a month later came another award-show disruption, this time at the Grammys, where West objected to Beck winning the Best Album award. "Beck needs to respect artistry, and he should have given his award to Beyoncé," West said after the ceremony. Months later he retracted his statement in an interview with The Sunday Times newspaper in England. "I was inaccurate with the concept of a gentleman who plays 14 instruments not respecting artistry," he said.

In March, West was announced as a co-owner of the music-streaming service Tidal, along with various other artists including Beyoncé, Jay Z, Rihanna, Madonna , Chris Martin and Nicki Minaj. In June he headlined the Glastonbury festival in the UK, despite a petition of 135,000 signatures asking for him to be removed from the bill.

'The Life of Pablo'

There was more controversy in the run-up to his seventh album, The Life of Pablo . Before its release on February 14, 2016, West hit the headlines for a series of controversial tweets - including one that proclaimed Bill Cosby , on trial for drugging and raping women, to be innocent. He started a beef with the rapper Wiz Khalifa , whom he mistakenly believed to have criticized his wife, Kim Kardashian ("I am your OG and I will be respected as such," West tweeted.). He also apologized to Michael Jordan for appearing to diss the basketball legend in his lyrics. And then the day after his album came out, West bizarrely urged his followers to lobby Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to invest $1 billion into West's "ideas." He also claimed to be $53 million in debt.

The album itself was another change of direction, and another triumph. It covered a much broader sonic sweep than Yeezus , incorporating a vast array of sounds, styles and influences, from trap to gospel to Auto-Tune crooning, to avant-pop, classic soul and dancehall. Guest vocalists included Frank Ocean , Chance the Rapper , Rihanna, Desiigner and Kid Cudi. It became West's sixth solo album in succession to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Tour Cancellation and Return to the Spotlight

On November 20, 2016, while on his Saint Pablo Tour, West stopped a concert in Sacramento to embark on a garbled rant about radio playlists, MTV, Barack Obama , Donald Trump , Beyoncé and Jay Z ("Jay Z, call me, bruh... I know you got killers. Please don't send them at my head..."). It was the second time within a week that he had ranted onstage and voiced support for Trump, and this time it sounded like a public breakdown — he did not complete the show. The following day he canceled the remaining 21 dates of his tour citing exhaustion, subsequently spending eight days hospitalized at the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles.

In February 2017, the GOOD music president, Pusha T, said in an interview that West was working on a new album. Rumors surrounding the album's development continued to surface, with some reports saying the award-winning artist had retreated to the mountains of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for creative inspiration.

West began working his way back into the news cycle in April 2018 with the announcement that he was writing a philosophy-themed book, Break the Simulation . Days later, he confirmed the rumors about new material in a rapid-fire series of tweets, declaring he would drop two albums within a week of one another in June, the second one involving longtime collaborator Kid Cudi.

The artist then caused a stir when his tweets veered toward his support for President Trump, calling him "my brother" and noting how they shared "dragon energy," even posting a selfie in which he wears Trump's "Make America Great Again" hat. West later sought to clarify things by saying he loved Hillary Clinton too and didn't agree with everything the president said. "I don't agree 100% with anyone but myself," he wrote.

In an early May interview with TMZ, West revealed that he had been addicted to opioids prior to his November 2016 onstage meltdown and hospitalization, which he began taking after undergoing liposuction because "I didn’t want y'all to call me fat." He also raised eyebrows by describing the history of African American enslavement in the U.S. as a "choice," his words again inflaming social media outrage and prompting another attempt at a clarifying explanation later.

Topping the Charts with 'Ye'

On May 31, West held an exclusive listening party in Jackson Hole for industry insiders and select celebrities, like Chris Rock and Jonah Hill , to debut his new studio effort, Ye . The seven-track album, which included contributions from Kid Cudi and Minaj, touched on issues ranging from the sexual assault accusations facing Russell Simmons , to the Tristan Thompson - Khloé Kardashian cheating saga, to the rapper's own controversial comments about slavery and being bipolar.

West expanded on the bipolar topic in a subsequent interview, confirming that he had recently been diagnosed. Echoing his track's lyrics about how it is his "superpower," he insisted that the condition fueled his creativity, but also admitted that it led to unfortunate consequences. "Think about people who have mental issues that are not Kanye West ... think about somebody that does exactly what I did at TMZ but they just do it at work," he said. "Then Tuesday morning they come back and they lost their job."

On June 12, it was revealed that Ye had debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200; it marked West's eighth consecutive chart-topping album, matching the record held by the Beatles and Eminem . Additionally, all seven tracks from Ye had cracked the Top 40, with "Yikes" charting highest, at No. 8.

Sunday Service Sessions

In early 2019, West debuted his Sunday Service sessions — performances of the rapper and associates singing gospel versions of his hit songs from various locations. Little was known about these invite-only sessions, with the public getting glimpses via social media clips.

West then brought a larger-scale version of his new project to Coachella in April for a special Easter Sunday show, in which he and a large contingent of singers and dancers, dressed in matching mauve robes, performed atop a man-made mountain.

'Jesus Is King,' 'Jesus Is Born,' 'Emmanuel' and Operas

Meanwhile, the artist continued working on a new album. Titled Yandhi , with a planned release date of September 29, 2018, the album was pushed back to November 23, before being delayed indefinitely. In August 2019, it was announced that another studio project, Jesus Is King , would be released on September 27, though that date also passed with no sign of the promised album. The gospel-tinged Jesus Is King was finally unveiled on October 25, the same day as a 35-minute IMAX film of the same title that documented one of the artist's Sunday Service sessions.

At the Hollywood Bowl in November, West debuted Nebuchadnezzar , an opera featuring Sunday Service-style choir singing with its creator reading Bible passages from off to the side of the stage. He followed with Mary , an opera based on the nativity story, before releasing the 19-track gospel album Jesus Is Born on Christmas Day.

West dropped the five-track Emmanuel on Christmas Day 2020, consisting of “ancient and Latin inspired new music,” according to the press release .

2020 Presidential Run

On July 4, 2020, West tweeted that he is running for president: "We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States."

West held his first campaign rally on July 19, 2020, in Charleston, South Carolina. With "2020" shaved into his head, he spoke about Planned Parenthood, marijuana and slavery, among other subjects, in his speech that lasted over an hour.

On October 12, he dropped his first campaign video urging voters to write his in on their ballots.

West eventually conceded and alluded to a presidential run in 2024.

Recent News

Kanye West (born June 8, 1977, Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.) is an American producer, rapper, and fashion designer who parlayed his production success in the late 1990s and early 2000s into a career as a popular, critically acclaimed solo artist. One of the most controversial and influential celebrities of his generation, West attracted notoriety with a public persona that at times overshadowed his music.

West was the child of an Atlanta -based news photographer and former Black Panther father, Ray West, and a college professor mother, Donda (née Williams) West. His parents divorced when he was three, and West was raised by his mother mainly in the South Shore neighborhood of Chicago , where she began teaching at Chicago State University . When West was 10 years old, he moved with his mother to China for a year for an education exchange program in which Donda West taught at Nanjing University. West showed artistic ability at a young age, often winning talent shows as a child. He attended Chicago State University for one year before dropping out to pursue a career in music.

Early on he demonstrated his considerable abilities as a producer, contributing to Jermaine Dupri’s album Life in 1472 (1998) before relocating to the New York City area, where he made his name with his production work for Roc-A-Fella Records, especially on rapper Jay-Z ’s album Blueprint (2001). West’s skillful use of accelerated sample-based beats soon made him much in demand as a producer, but he struggled to be allowed to make his own recordings (partly because of the perception that his middle-class background denied him credibility as a rapper). When he finally released his debut solo album, The College Dropout (2004), it was massively successful: sales soared, and critics gushed over its sonic sophistication and clever wordplay, which blended humor, faith, insight, and political awareness on songs such as “Through the Wire” and the gospel -choir-backed “ Jesus Walks.” The latter cut won a Grammy Award for best rap song in 2005, and West also picked up awards that year for best rap album and best rhythm-and-blues song (as one of the songwriters of Alicia Keys ’s “ You Don’t Know My Name”).

Abetted by his flamboyant personality, West quickly rose to stardom. His second album, Late Registration (2005), repeated the commercial success of his first—with a number of hit singles, including “Diamonds from Sierra Leone” and “Gold Digger”—and earned West three more Grammy Awards. He also gained attention for his widely quoted assertion that the federal government’s slow response to the Hurricane Katrina disaster in New Orleans in 2005 demonstrated that U.S. Pres. George W. Bush “doesn’t care about Black people”—a comment that Bush later characterized as one of the worst moments of his presidency.

As his career as a performer took off, West continued to work as a producer, with credits including songs by such high-profile artists as Nas , Mariah Carey , and Beyoncé . He also founded the record label GOOD Music, an imprint of Def Jam Records . His third release, Graduation (2007), produced the hit singles “Good Life” and “Stronger” and garnered him four more Grammy Awards. In 2008 West released 808s and Heartbreak , an album that dwelled on feelings of personal loss and regret. (His mother had died the previous year from a heart attack following cosmetic surgery .) Its sound differed radically from his previous releases, as West chose to sing (with the assistance of a vocal production tool called Auto-Tune) rather than rap his lyrics.

West spent much of late 2009 rehabilitating his image. He had rushed the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards, preempting Taylor Swift ’s acceptance speech for best female video, to declare that “Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time.” Video footage of the incident quickly went viral on the Internet, and West found himself vilified in the media. A series of apologies, some of them appearing as a stream-of-consciousness narrative on West’s Twitter (rebranded as X in 2023) feed, soon followed.

The brashness that caused him such trouble in 2009 fueled a triumphant return to music the following year, with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy , a monumentally complex exploration of the nature of success and celebrity. With potent rhymes that were in equal parts boastful and self-effacing, instrumentation that ranged from tribal drums to soaring orchestral accompaniment, and a list of guest performers that included Jay-Z, Rihanna , Kid Cudi, and Chris Rock , the album represented some of West’s most ambitious work, and it was rewarded with a trio of Grammys. He followed it with Watch the Throne (2011), a Billboard chart-topping collaboration with Jay-Z that featured the Grammy-winning singles “Otis,” “Niggas in Paris,” and “No Church in the Wild.”

In 2012 West presented Cruel Summer , a compilation album featuring him and some of the artists signed to his GOOD Music label. A year later, on Yeezus (2013), West continued to explore the dark corners of his psyche, at times filtering his observations through the provocative lens of racial politics, as on “New Slaves.” In contrast to the extravagance of his previous solo efforts, the album found him rapping over jagged minimalist arrangements evocative of house and industrial music and embellished with spare samples of soul and dancehall vocalists. Its most successful single was “Bound 2,” in part because of its racy music video featuring West and his then girlfriend, the reality-television star Kim Kardashian . (The couple, who were frequently in the public eye, were married in 2014 and eventually had four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. In 2021 it was announced that they were divorcing, and their split was finalized in 2022.)

In February 2015 West, in conjunction with German apparel company Adidas , unveiled the first “season,” or collection, of his long-awaited fashion line, YEEZY. YEEZY Season 1 featured men’s and women’s streetwear, including oversize sweaters, military- and surplus-inspired jackets, sneakers, boots, and more.

West’s fashion work continued leading up to the release of his eighth studio album, The Life of Pablo (2016); in fact, he debuted tracks from the album at his showcase of YEEZY Season 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York. The gospel-tinged album further demonstrated West’s inventiveness as a producer, but critics found it disjointed. In addition, the work itself was somewhat overshadowed by the unconventional circumstances of its release; after making an initial version of the album available online, West continued to tinker with it in the studio, calling it a “living breathing changing creative expression.” The tour supporting the album was abruptly canceled in November 2016, and West was briefly hospitalized. West’s fifth fashion collection, YEEZY Season 5, was released at New York Fashion Week in February 2017.

West was uncharacteristically quiet for several months before provocatively reemerging on social media in April 2018. He notably defended a statement he had made in a televised interview suggesting that enslaved African Americans had cooperated in their enslavement. Later that year he released the chaotic and unsettling ye , on which he declared that he is bipolar . Kids See Ghosts , a collaboration with rapper Kid Cudi, followed shortly thereafter. Like ye , it focused on mental health but to much better effect; intense and spooky, the album was widely viewed as more interesting and rewarding than West’s solo effort. His next release, Jesus Is King , was a gospel album that reflected his recommitment to Christianity ; it later won the Grammy for best contemporary Christian music album. During this time West remained involved in fashion, and YEEZY Season 6 and Season 7 were released in 2018 and 2019, respectively, though neither was shown at New York Fashion Week.

In July 2020, less than four months before the U.S. presidential election, West announced that he was running for the office as a member of the so-called Birthday Party. He did little campaigning, but he released a platform that notably called for reforming the police and legal system, reducing student debt, and having prayer in schools. Republican Pres. Donald Trump and his followers supported West’s candidacy, believing that he could lure some voters away from the Democratic nominee, Joe Biden , in what was expected to be an incredibly close election. However, West ultimately garnered only 0.04 percent of the national vote, not enough to have any effect on the outcome. In 2021 he released his 10th studio album, Donda . Named for his mother, it features collaborations with such artists as JAY-Z and The Weeknd . He also opened a private Christian school in California called Donda Academy, though the school was soon beset with numerous complaints and lawsuits. Later that year Kanye West officially changed his name to Ye.

While not a stranger to controversy, West faced particular backlash for objectionable behavior in 2022. During his YEEZY show at Paris Fashion Week in October, he and his models wore shirts emblazoned with “White Lives Matter.” Shortly thereafter West made a series of comments that were widely seen as anti-Semitic . Notably, he posted on Twitter that he was preparing to “go death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE.” Many interpreted the tweet as a reference to defcon, a U.S. military readiness system. This and other comments resulted in Instagram and Twitter locking his accounts and removing content. West subsequently announced that he planned on acquiring Parler, a conservative social media platform. However, the proposed sale never materialized. During this time a number of companies, including Adidas , ended their endorsement deals with West, and his booking agency, Creative Arts Agency, stopped representing him. It was also revealed that Def Jam Records had parted ways with West and GOOD Music, their contract having expired in 2021.

In December 2023 West posted an apology to the Jewish community on Instagram. Written in Hebrew , the statement read in part, “Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity.” Also in 2023 West teamed with rapper Ty Dolla $ign to form the duo ¥$. They released the single “Vultures” in November, followed by the album Vultures 1 in February 2024. With no record label, West distributed the album solely through streaming services. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 album chart and earned more than $1 million in its first week. Among those making guest appearances were Lil Durk, Freddie Gibbs, Playboi Carti, Travis Scott, and West’s eldest child, North West. Shortly before its release, West hinted that volumes two and three of Vultures would be released in early 2024.

Kim Kardashian’s Complete Dating History, From Ray J and Kanye West to Odell Beckham Jr.

Kim Kardashian has been in the spotlight since her teen years and was always in the upper echelon of celebrity society. While she was growing into the mom and mogul she is known to be today, Kardashian had a number of very public relationships. Luckily, it made for good TV! A lot of her experiences have been documented on her shows Keeping Up With the Kardashians and now Hulu’s The Kardashians , so there’s plenty of public records pertaining to her love life and three marriages.

Here’s her full relationship history so far.

Ray J: 2005–2006

Nick lachey: 2006, nick cannon: 2006–2007, reggie bush: 2007–2010, cristiano ronaldo: 2010, miles austin: 2010, shengo deane: 2010, gabriel aubry: 2010, kris humphries: 2010–2011, kanye west: 2012–2021, pete davidson: 2021–2022, odell beckham jr.: 2023–2024, damon thomas: 2000–2003.

Kardashian got married for the first time in 2000 at only 19 years old, eloping with 29-year-old music producer Damon Thomas. Thomas was known for his work with artists like Babyface, Faith Evans, and Tyrese. The marriage actually lasted for three years before they filed for divorce in 2003. It was finalized in 2004.

She later claimed that the day they got married, she was on ecstasy, but Thomas has denied this. He says they were only high on “young love.”

But after their divorce, Kardashian suggested Thomas was a controlling husband, alleging he made her quit her job as a shop assistant at a clothing boutique.

“He did not want me to have contact with my old boyfriends, who would be able to reach me at the clothing store,” she explained in her divorce proceedings. “He said he wanted to know where I was at all times.”

Thomas denied those allegations .

In 2005, Kardashian was working for Ray J’s older sister, Brandy. In his book Death of a Cheating Man: What Every Woman Must Know About Men Who Stray , the musician seemingly refers to Kardashian via the moniker “KK” and describes how their relationship started.

“To be honest, the whole thing started off wrong,” he wrote. “We’d known each other for a while before we dated, and there was a mutual attraction, but she was married … She let me know she wanted to get with me. She left her husband for me as soon as we started having sex, and things between us got intense really fast. After that, I felt obligated to be with her.”

He added more accusations of cheating, but it seemed like the couple were on-off before breaking up in 2006. In 2007, the former couple’s notorious sex tape was leaked by Vivid Entertainment, who Kardashian then sued.

In a 2018 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians , she again mentioned ecstasy in relation to the tape.

“I did ecstasy once, and I got married. I did it again, I made a sex tape. Like, everything bad would happen,” Kardashian said . “Absolutely. Everyone knows it. Like, my jaw was shaking the whole time.”

That same year, Ray J started talking about his former flame again, and she responded on X, formerly known as Twitter , calling him a “pathological liar.”

Nick Lachey broke up with Jessica Simpson, and six months later, his first documented date was with Kardashian . They were photographed on an outing to a matinee showing of The Da Vinci Code .

“She left about halfway through and went to the restroom, and then shockingly, there were 25 paparazzi when we left the theater,” Lachey said on Watch What Happens Live in 2019. “I think there were other things in play on our little rendezvous. Couldn’t be a nicer girl, we had a great time.”

In 2014, during an interview with radio host Big Boy , Nick Cannon recalled that he briefly dated Kardashian in 2006 when asked about previous “famous” partners.

“Mariah Carey,” he began. “Christina Milian, Nicole Scherzinger, Selita Ebanks … oh, Kim Kardashian!”

“I didn’t know that Kim Kardashian thing,” Big Boy replied. “I just forgot.”

“You just forgot because it’s been a lot of people since me,” Cannon answered at the time, somewhat ironically considering his current dating history. “She’s a great girl though! Her and her family are some of the most incredible people I’ve ever met in my life.”

It’s not clear why they split, but The Post shared a story in 2007 that they avoided one another at a fashion event.

Kardashian and Reggie Bush were together off-and-on from 2007 to 2010, breaking up first in 2009 because of mismatched schedules. They then reconciled and even began house-hunting, but schedules intervened again, and they broke up. However, Life & Style reported that he was still interested in her right up until her marriage in August 2011 to Kris Humphries. The outlet alleged he was sending her texts and leaving voicemails “telling her she’s making a mistake and that he’s the one for her.”

In April 2010, Page Six reported that soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo and Kardashian met up when the reality star was vacationing in Madrid, and then again during an event at the Beverly Hills Hotel. It didn’t last long, and he was soon seen with model Irina Shayk.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin seemingly had a more serious relationship with the TV star, beginning in early 2010. A source told People , “She’s really supportive of him. Kim and Miles have purposely tried to keep their relationship quiet and low-key.”

“Kim and Miles looked pretty happy together,” Page Six reported of a sighting in July that year. “They were canoodling all night. He’s a pretty shy and low-key guy, so he’s perfect for her.”

But things had fizzled out by September. A source told People it was “mutual” and mostly due to distance.

“There’s no huge reason except their distance apart,” the source said. “With his season and Kim’s filming Keeping Up with the Kardashians , it just slowly split them apart.”

In 2010, Kardashian went on a few dates with her bodyguard Shengo Deane after meeting in his home country of Australia. They met up again in New York City, and their dates were a plot point in Kourtney and Kim Take New York .

In late 2010, Kardashian and Gabriel Aubry were dating, according to a report from People , and were photographed at a Lakers game. Aubry had recently broken up with actress Halle Berry.

“They started seeing each other in the last few weeks,” said a source. “They have been out a few times, he’s visited her house in L.A. Sunday’s game was the first time they were comfortable enough to be seen in public together. It’s early days, but they’re getting on well.”

They dated for a short while, and he supposedly even met her family over the Thanksgiving holiday. They broke up in December.

“They still talk. They were getting to know each other, but realized they might be better off just being friendly,” a source told People .

Kardashian’s relationship with Kris Humphries was one of her most publicized. She began dating the basketball player in December 2010, and he ended up proposing to her in front of the cameras on Keeping Up with the Kardashian s. They were married in August 2011 after less than a year together, and the wedding was a huge event in Montecito, California.

In later episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, it was revealed that in the days leading up to their wedding, their relationship was already experiencing some conflict. Only 72 days after their marriage, Kardashian filed for divorce . She cited “irreconcilable differences,” and offered a statement to fans that read , “I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision. I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don’t work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best.”

Humphries, however, wanted the marriage annulled and claimed fraud. They eventually settled in April 2013 and were officially divorced in June 2013.

Kardashian later said in an interview with Andy Cohen that she knew the marriage wouldn’t work by the time she was on her honeymoon, but she felt pressured to go through with the ceremony.

“I just thought, ‘Holy shit, I’m 30 years old, I better get this together. I better get married,’” she said.

For his part, Humphries said in 2019 that their relationship was real despite rumors of the production being for the show.

“Look, I should have known what I was getting into,” Humphries explained. “I was definitely naive about how much my life was going to change. But the one thing that really bothers me is whenever people say that my marriage was fake.”

He added, “There’s definitely a lot about that world that is not entirely real. But our actual relationship was 100 percent real. When it was clear that it wasn’t working… what can I say? It sucked.”

Rapper Kanye West was interested in Kardashian long before they got married. He met her early in the 2000s while she was working with Brandy and they met on a music video shoot. They allegedly spent more intimate time together in 2008 after working on the pilot episode of a show called Alligator Boots that never aired. They became friends, but he supposedly always kept tabs on her relationships—and even told her not to marry Humphries.

“I got a phone because somebody decided they wanted to marry Kris Humphries,” he said in the finale of Khloé Kardashian’s former talk show, Kocktails with Khloé . “I wasn’t up to anything, and I looked on the Internet, and there was Kim with some extremely tall person, and I was like, ‘I need to call her or something.’”

He continued, “I started sending her pictures of certain basketball players that used to be cool, but now they wear their pants like all the way up here...‘This is your future!’’

After she and Humphries split, she flew to Paris to see West’s fashion show and they soon began dating. They announced that they were expecting a child at the end of 2012, and welcomed North West in June 2013. West proposed at San Francisco’s AT&T Park in October, renting out the whole place. They were married in May 2014 at Forte di Belvedere in Florence, Italy.

They went on to have three more children: Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.

In 2020, their relationship began to crumble, and they were reportedly living apart by December of that year. In February 2021, Kardashian filed for divorce , and she was declared legally single in March 2022 as they worked out the details of their shared property. It was finalized in November 2022 with an agreement to joint physical and legal custody of their kids. West was also ordered to pay Kardashian $200,000 a month in child support.

“If people knew what my relationship really was like, I think they would be like, ‘How did this last this long?’ But I can live with myself knowing that I tried everything humanly possible to make a situation work and so I can walk away feeling absolutely guilt-free,” the SKIMS founder said on an episode of The Kardashians .

In October 2021, Kardashian and West still appeared to have a friendly relationship, and he accompanied her in New York City when she appeared on Saturday Night Live as a host.

However, that is where she connected with comedian Pete Davidson, whom she dated for a little less than a year afterwards. West’s attitude towards his ex devolved in public, with threats made to Davidson in his music and on social media. He openly admitted to wanting to reconcile with Kardashian, but has since moved on and married his wife, Bianca Censori .

After her appearance on SNL , Kardashian was seen with Pete Davidson at Knott’s Scary Farm in Los Angeles, holding hands on a roller coaster. They made more appearances around New York together, and he traveled to Los Angeles to celebrate his 28th birthday. They attended a number of public events, including the Met Gala in 2022.

In July 2022, Davidson had to work on a film in Australia, and while Kardashian visited, it seemed like the differences in their schedules and location made it too difficult to keep dating.

“Part of the reason they split was because of their busy schedules. They both travel all the time, and it was hard,” an insider told People . A second source added, “They really hit it off and had a ton of fun together, but it feels like it ran its course.”

In a June 2023 episode of The Kardashians , Kardashian discussed the attention they got from the media.

“You obviously learn from every situation, and the one thing I learned from last situation was the media made me feel like I was in a very serious relationship so quickly,” Kardashian said. “I just want to sneak around a little bit. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to sneak!”

In September 2023, an insider told People that Kardashian and Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. were seen “hanging out” after his split from Lauren Wood. She was seen at his birthday in November.

By April 2024, it seemed to be done. An insider said, “It’s over and just fizzled out.”

Who Is Lauren Pisciotta? Kanye West’s Ex-Assistant Suing Him For Sexual Harassment.

Lauren Pisciotta, once an assistant to former billionaire Kanye West, sued the rapper Monday for sexual harassment, breach of contract and wrongful termination, alleging West masturbated while on phone calls with her and failed to pay her a $3 million severance package after abruptly firing her.

Pisciotta reportedly said she had worked on a Yeezy fashion line and West’s 2021 album “Donda” before being hired as a personal assistant later that year, working for a salary of $1 million to be available “24/7” to the rapper.

The former assistant alleged West would send her explicit text messages and photographs, a video of himself having sex with a model and instructed her to deliver him a sexual performance enhancement “honey” before his sexual encounters.

She alleged West would call her, ostensibly to discuss work matters, but would masturbate while on the phone and, in one instance, masturbated in front of her while the two were enclosed in a room that could not be opened from the inside.

Prior to working for West, Pisciotta supported herself through an OnlyFans account, which reportedly earned her $1 million annually, though West instructed her to delete the account in exchange for $1 million so she could become more “God like.”

Pisciotta said she was abruptly fired in October 2022, just one month after being promoted to chief of staff for his companies, and never received a promised $3 million severance package.

Forbes has reached out to West’s representatives for comment.

Key Background

Multiple Yeezy staffers previously accused West of showing them pornographic material and making other inappropriate, often sexualizing, remarks, according to a November 2022 Rolling Stone report . West has also previously claimed to have a porn addiction, and he stated in a now-deleted Instagram post in September 2022 that the addiction “destroyed” his family. Amid his controversial run at Yeezy, West lost his billionaire status after making numerous comments that were widely criticized as antisemitic , causing Adidas to drop their partnership with the rapper in October 2022. The partnership made up most of West’s net worth, which was once estimated by Forbes to be about $2 billion, but is now estimated at $400 million based on his music, real estate and a 5% stake in ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s Skims business.

West has publicly fallen out with other staffers in recent months, including the former Yeezy chief of staff and right-wing commentator Milo Yiannopoulos. The two clashed last month over West’s intention to launch “Yeezy Porn,” a pornographic film division at his company, Rolling Stone reported . Yiannopoulos reportedly told West in an email that he could not be “complicit in the production of dissemination of pornographic films and literature, for moral and religious reasons,” adding that pornography poses an “imminent danger to my life as a recovering addict and an unacceptable risk to my spiritual and physical health as a former homosexual.” West also announced on his Instagram story in March that he had fired YesJulz, whose real name is Julieanna Goddard, a marketer who had worked on the rollout for his album “Vultures 1” over allegedly unauthorized social media posts she had made. Goddard responded in a series of X posts , stating “f— an NDA,” and she posted screenshots of texts with Yiannopoulos that show the former chief of staff making disparaging remarks about West’s fans.
