Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s whirlwind marriage appears to be over just over a year after they tied the knot.
The couple, who wed in December 2022, is reportedly heading toward divorce, according to sources close to the pair. Allegedly, the couple has come to a verbal agreement that Censori will receive a $5 million payout following their brief union.
The news comes just days after Censori’s controversial appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards on February 2. The incident quickly raised eyebrows as Censori appeared uncomfortable on the red carpet.
According to insider reports, West instructed his wife to drop her fur coat and “make a scene,” an action which many viewers interpreted as a public spectacle.
West reportedly viewed the moment as an artistic statement connected to the cover of his upcoming album Vultures 2, but Censori’s uneasy demeanor fueled speculation that she might not have been fully on board with the stunt.
A lip reader’s translation of the couple’s red carpet exchange has added more fuel to the fire. Allegedly, West told Censori to “start making a scene now,” before she removed her coat to reveal a sheer dress underneath.
“Drop it behind you and then turn, I got you,” he reportedly said, to which Censori hesitantly replied, “All right, let’s go.”

This interaction has raised concerns over the dynamic of their relationship, with some public figures calling out West for exerting control over Censori.
The incident sparked a wave of support for Censori, with many labelling her a “hostage” and “victim” of West’s coercion.
The rapper later took to X (formerly Twitter) to respond to critics, defending his actions, claiming he had full control over the situation, and even posting a definition of “coercion.”
As of now, Censori is staying in the couple’s luxurious Beverly Hills estate, while reports suggest West may be returning to Tokyo, where he spent much of the previous year.
