Kanye West's dark set of rules Bianca Censori must follow and moment family stepped in

As model Bianca Censori's X-rated outfit for the Grammys leads to furious backlash, the Mirror takes a look back at the wildest moments in her relationship with controversial American rapper Kanye West

Kanye West and Bianca Censori have long been surrounded by controversy.

Since their romance sparked in 2022, the pair have been known for their racy public displays, with Bianca shocking fans with her incredibly risqué clothing choices - which Ye reportedly chooses. On Sunday night, at the 67th Grammy Awards, Bianca bared all for the cameras, wearing a daringly transparent mesh slip dress that left little to the imagination.

Meanwhile, father-of-four Kanye was wearing an all-black ensemble of a T-shirt, jeans, trainers and dark sunglasses. Following the stunt, Bianca could now face jail time for indecent exposure. According to California Penal Code 314(1), a first-time offender could result in a six-month sentence or a fine of up to $1,000, with a repeat offender risking a decade on the sex offenders register.

The All Falls Down rapper married the Australian architect, who is 18 years younger, in December 2022, just two months after his divorce from Kim Kardashian was finalised. Rumours of their secret wedding emerged in January 2023, but the nuptials were confirmed in October when a marriage certificate was leaked online.

It came after Kanye released his song, Censori Overload, two years ago, where he hinted at the reason behind their marriage as he rapped: "And The Bible said I can't have any more sex till marriage."

In August 2023, Kanye and Bianca jetted off to Italy for a luxury holiday and made headlines when the rapper was caught in a compromising position with his wife while on a boat. Kanye flashed his bum to a crowd of shocked onlookers while his wife crouched in front of him. The incident led to the pair being banned by the Venetian boat rental company.

Later that year, it was reported that Kanye had a series of rules Bianca has to live by, including choosing what his wife eats, when she works out and what she wears. Bianca's friends reportedly staged an intervention in November 2023 to urge her to "wake the f**k up". A source told the Mail at the time: "She knows that she has shut out those close to her, and she is also starting to see through the smoky mirrors of her marriage."

In August 2024, the couple reportedly split and sources told TMZ that the Clique rapper had been telling his pals that he was done with his wife and wanted to be single again. Bianca's family allegedly also became very concerned about the way she was dressing in public and raised their concerns with her while they were visiting her and Ye.

A source told Mail Online: "Bianca started to see the relationship in a new light when her friends and family voiced concerns about the way she was dressing in public and Kanye felt that she wasn't as into him as she was in the beginning. There are no hard feelings, but she couldn't ignore her family when they asked her to explain the stranger parts of their relationship."

But one source blasted the split as a publicity stunt. They said: "They knew that, by doing this, it would create some buzz and make them relevant as he tries to promote his new album. They both know that people are just over them and that her naked outfits are not enough to keep people interested. Everyone has seen her naked now there is nothing to wonder about."

Weeks later, in October, the duo shut down speculation over the state of their marriage when they appeared together in Japan. The same week, Kanye threw praise on his wife when he told The Download podcast: "Number one b***. My b*** is the most influential b**** on the planet." When the host called Bianca the "best dressed", Ye replied: "Best underdressed."

That month, the American rapper hit back at allegations that he had hired a 'fixer' to follow his wife in Australia during their 'split'. Kanye was accused of sending investigators to 'tail' Bianca abroad, but his representatives later rubbished the claims. They told Page Six that many of the allegations, published by Rolling Stone, were "simply fantastical and false".

Before Kanye and Bianca became an item, he was linked to Italian-American actress Julia Fox, 34. In her memoir, Down the Drain, Julia recalled her relationship with Kanye, which lasted less than two months. But despite being short-lived, the romance left an imprint on Julia, who wrote about his "weird, twisted game", saying she felt "used" and "dirty".

Within days of meeting, Kayne had signed two of Julia's best friends up to be her stylists, with the pair taking direction from him about what his new girlfriend could wear in public. During one particularly memorable conversation, Kanye had dressed Julia in a skimpy top but felt it didn't sit right, leading him to offer to get her a boob job.

Mother to a four-year-old son, Julia later wrote: "The artist's words cut through the air, sharp and unexpected. I look at myself in the mirror, taking in my post-baby body. They're not so bad, I think to myself." Elsewhere, she claimed she felt like she had no control over her life anymore, with Kanye deciding all aspects of her public image.
