Kanye West and Bianca Censori were reportedly escorted out of this year's Grammy Awards after the rapper's wife stripped completely naked on the red carpet.
However, the reason behind the controversial stunt has now emerged. On Sunday night, there was commotion and confusion as Kanye had been nominated for two awards at the 67th Grammy's ceremony.
The duo's appearance on the red carpet in Los Angeles left onlookers completely stunned. Rapper Kanye, 47, was heard whispering to his partner which prompted her to immediately remove her fur coat and reveal she'd arrived at the ceremony in a nude mesh dress without underwear.
Bianca, 30, slowly dropped her cover-up to flash her bare bum before spinning around to give stunned press photographers the full glimpse of her naked body.

While concerned fans watching the live stream from home also demanded the couple be reprimanded for their actions as they branded them 'creepy and disturbing.'
A lip-reader has now revealed their bizarre interaction that took place before Bianca - who kept a straight-face throughout - dropped her coat. The pair were seen talking on the red carpet in a now viral video posted to TikTok. According to Nicola Hickling, the founder and lead analyst at LipReader, West was telling his wife to take off her coat and reveal all.
According to Hickling, Kanye gave his wife five words of praise before things took a turn. "You're making a scene now," Kanye tells Bianca as the photographers begin to snap their arrival. Bianca then silently nods her head.
Kanye continues to encourage her: "Make a scene, I'll say it'll make so much sense." Bianca again nods her head in agreement. Then Kanye tells her: "Drop it behind you and then turn, I got you." "Alright let's go," Bianca tells him, according to the lip reading expert. Australian designer Bianca then drops her coat to reveal her naked body underneath.
It was alleged the pair were quickly asked to leave due to not being invited, with claims saying they had been were led out by cops. However, the pair were seen leaving the Crypto.com Arena and getting into a silver chrome car shortly after they arrived. Bianca was again covered up by her black coat.

Page Six said they were told the look “was an attempt to replicate the album cover of Kanye's 2024 album, Vultures. On the cover, Bianca is seen standing backwards wearing nothing but thigh-high boots and a tiny bit of fabric covering her behind.
It comes as there were fears that Kanye and Bianca had put themselves at risk of jail time for the show-stopping moment at the Los Angeles ceremony. According to California Penal Code 314(1), indecent exposure is defined as a person "expoising his or her naked body or genitals in front of anyone who could be annoyed or offended by it."
It also stipulates that the act must be "willful and lewd" to be considered a crime. To be found guilty, a person must "intentionally expose your genitals or naked body; expose yourself in front of someone who might be offended or annoyed by it; intend to direct attention to yourself; and intend to sexually gratify yourself or offend someone else when you do it."
Other fans were spotted the moment a young child was seen leaning in from the side of the red carpet to get a glimpse of Bianca's outfit. One user said: "the fact that it’s okay for Bianca Censori and Kanye to do that in front of the child behind them in line….wow."
The shocking red carpet scenes overshadowed the night where Beyonce made Grammy's history by winning the top prize of album of the year, with the gong evading her four times. While performances came from many of the nominees, including stars such as Charli XCX, Chappell Roan, Billie Eilish, Janelle Monáe, Stevie Wonder, Lady Gaga, Chris Martin, Doechii, and Sabrina Carpenter.
