Kanye West, who now goes by Ye, and Bianca Censori are reportedly headed for a divorce after less than two years of marriage. According to an article by TMZ published on Monday, October 7, 2024, citing "multiple sources with direct knowledge," the pair have been reportedly telling those around them that they split a few weeks ago.
As news of Ye and Bianca's alleged split went viral, internet users were quick to comment. One stated they would be celebrating for Censori.
Many continued to express their support for Bianca, wanting to know the inner workings of their relationship. Here are some comments seen on X:
"her tell all in a few years will be INSANE," @dammitdymond commented.
"nobody can tell me that this woman was in this marriage without some undue influence. i’m really glad she’s out." a user remarked.
"Pete davidson has the opportunity to do the funniest sh*t ever," one quipped.
Others joked about Cencori's eccentric dressing since her marriage to the rapper.
"she probably went out wearing a normal shirt and he was like this is f**king over," another joked.
"Bianca being able to put on normal clothes for the first time in years," @Rsprake1 added.
"Kanye has given Bianca clothes. Bianca is a free elf!" a fan wrote.
Kanye and Bianca were last spotted together on a shopping spree in Tokyo two weeks ago
Per TMZ, following their split, Censori down to her hometown in Australia to spend time with her family and friends. Kanye reportedly has been telling those close to him that he plans to divorce her and live in Tokyo.
While it remains unclear what caused the alleged rift in their relationship, the Vultures artist has been seen flying solo recently. Last week, the publication spotted Kanye enjoying a meal at a Jamaican restaurant in Japan. West was also seen chilling at a wrestling match in Tokyo without Bianca on September 30.
The last time paparazzi caught the couple together was on September 20 at a supermarket in Tokyo along with two of Kanye's four kids (with Kardashian). The following day, the couple was seen shopping with Ye in the city.
Censori is an Australian model and architect who heads the architecture department at Kanye's clothing and apparel company Yeezy. While the exact time the pair's relationship became personal remains unclear, they were first linked together in December 2022 when the rapper released a song titled Censori Overload.
A month later, it was revealed they tied the knot in a private ceremony (just months after his divorce from Kim Kardashian was finalized). Since then, the couple has made several public appearances together, but their unusual outfit choices, especially Censori's, have sparked the most discussion.
Netizens believe West allegedly forces his wife to wear the clothes. In September 2023, comedian Kathy Griffin, in a lengthy TikTok rant, accused the rapper of "controlling" his wife, whom she speculated has "no voice."
Around the same time, Daily Mail reported that Cencori's friends were "extremely concerned" about her behavior as "this (referencing the couple's NSFW pictures aboard a water taxi in Venice) wasn't who she was." The article added that they were trying to "save" her but couldn't due to the "blockades" Ye has "put around her."
Neither Kanye nor Bianca Censori have publicly reacted to the alleged reports.
