Bianca Censori, the wife of rapper Kanye West, publicly defended her husband's right to express himself, even as the couple faces intensifying scrutiny over antisemitic social media posts, ongoing divorce speculation, and new legal allegations linking Censori to explicit material shared with staff.
"I respect Kanye West and his right to speak his mind but I'm not a follower of opinions," Censori wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter. "I stand on my own values, even if it means going against the loved ones. Agreeing with everything someone says isn't strength, it's silence. I choose clarity."
The post came as West, 47, continued to provoke backlash for inflammatory statements and controversial imagery. In February, he posted Instagram photos of himself wearing a sweatshirt featuring a swastika, while holding handbags - one bearing an image of former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama.
While public outrage grew, rumors of a split between West and Censori, 29, resurfaced. Reports of a breakup first emerged in October 2024, with TMZ citing sources close to the couple. However, the pair were seen together shortly after in Tokyo, raising questions about the relationship's status. "They are working through it. Their relationship is definitely rocky," an insider told Us Weekly. "Bianca knew what she was getting herself into when marrying Kanye, but as months went on, the lifestyle took a toll on her."
By March, sources claimed Censori was "struggling to get free," citing concerns about West's alleged control. "I think Bianca wants to break up, but it's not easy. Kanye controls so many aspects of her life," one source said.
West alluded to relationship tensions in lyrics from his latest album WW3. On the track "Bianca," he raps: "My baby she ran away / But first she tried to get me committed / Not going to the hospital 'cause I am not sick I just do not get it." He continues: "She's having a panic attack and she is not liking the way that I tweeted / Until Bianca's back I stay up all night I'm not going to sleep / I really don't know where she's at."
As personal tensions mount, Censori now finds herself named in a lawsuit filed against West and his company. The suit, brought by eight former employees of the YZYVSN app team, alleges they were subjected to a hostile workplace, unpaid labor, and inappropriate exposure to sexual content.
According to the filing obtained by Us Weekly, Censori is accused of sending "a YZYVSN worker a file sharing link of hardcore pornography." The alleged incident occurred after West floated the idea of launching a Yeezy Porn division. The lawsuit claims no safeguards were put in place to shield underage workers - some as young as 14 - from explicit materials tied to the proposed venture.
Milo Yiannopoulos, West's former chief of staff, responded forcefully to the claims. "I've been authorized by Bianca to stress that any allegation that she showed or caused to be shown any pornographic material to minors is offensive, disgusting, abhorrent and categorically and wholly false," he said in a statement to Us Weekly. He dismissed the accuser as a "wannabe" who was never formally employed by Yeezy and called the lawsuit "tragic, desperate [and] attention-seeking."
Yiannopoulos further stated, "The most tragic and thirsty lie imaginable," insisting that Yeezy Porn "does not exist." He added, "I made sure of that by falling on my sword and quitting over it," referencing his resignation in May after West announced plans for the pornographic venture.
