Reports by TMZ that Kanye West and Bianca Censori are splitting up have been denied by their longtime representative, Milo Yiannopoulos. Speaking exclusively to The Hollywood Reporter, Yiannopoulos dismissed recent claims from The Daily Mail and TMZ that the couple had separated and were seeking legal counsel for a divorce.
“Ye and Bianca are in Los Angeles, about to enjoy Valentine’s Day together. Announcements about their private life will come from them directly, not unsourced rumors in the tabloid press,” Yiannopoulos stated. “Is this the fifth or is it the sixth time the press has wrongly reported that Ye and Bianca are separating? I’ve lost track.”
Tabloid Reports and Recent Controversies
Earlier Thursday, The Daily Mail published a report citing an unnamed source who claimed the couple had split, with legal filings expected in the coming days. TMZ followed suit, amplifying the story by stating that both West and Censori had contacted divorce attorneys.
The rumors follow a turbulent period for the couple, marked by high-profile controversies. On February 2, at the 2025 Grammy Awards, Censori turned heads with a revealing outfit inspired by the cover of Vultures 1, West’s recent collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign under the moniker Y$. West defended Censori’s look, which quickly dominated post-Grammys web searches, but criticism arose, with some accusing him of treating her as a promotional tool. Yiannopoulos refuted this claim earlier in the week, stating, “There is a person controlling what Bianca Censori wears. The name of that person is Bianca Censori.”
West himself weighed in on social media, asserting that while he has “dominion” over Censori, he would never force her to wear anything she did not want to. However, his series of posts, which included antisemitic, homophobic, and misogynistic remarks, led to the suspension of his X (formerly Twitter) account. It remains unclear whether the platform removed the account or if West took it down himself.
Yeezy Super Bowl Ad and Legal Troubles
West’s brand, Yeezy, also made headlines during the Super Bowl with a bizarre advertisement featuring the rapper lying in a dentist’s chair, showcasing his diamond-encrusted teeth. “I spent like all the money for the commercial on these new teeth,” West said in the ad. The following day, controversy deepened when the Yeezy website briefly displayed a white T-shirt emblazoned with a Nazi logo. Shopify, which hosted the store, quickly removed the page, calling it a “stunt.”
Amidst these incidents, West has been hit with a new lawsuit from a former Yeezy staffer. The lawsuit, filed in California’s Superior Court, accuses West and his company of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, citing multiple documented text messages in which West allegedly used inflammatory language, including references to “Nazi,” “Hitler,” and “deathcon.” The plaintiff’s legal team stated that West’s recent online tirades only reinforce the claims made in the lawsuit.
