Kanye Says Bianca Couldn’t Wear Outfit Without His Approval
Kanye West is taking credit for his wife Bianca Censori’s naked look at the 2025 Grammys.
Nearly a week after the duo—who tied the knot in 2022—turned heads when the Australian model dropped her coat to reveal a nearly transparent dress underneath on the Grammys red carpet, the rapper shared a series of controversial social media messages.
“I HAVE DOMINION OVER MY WIFE,” Kanye wrote Feb. 7 in one of many posts on X (formerly Twitter). “THIS AINT NO WOKE AS FEMINIST S–T. SHES WITH A BILLIONAIRE. WHY WOULD SHE LISTEN TO ANY OF YOU DUMB ASS BROKE B–CHES.”
Though they only spent a few minutes at the Feb. 2 award ceremony, their step-and-repeat left social media users wondering if Bianca’s display should have been a violation of California’s indecent exposure law.
However, the LAPD later weighed in to confirm that any legal trouble against the 30-year-old was unlikely as the ceremony was a private event.
Others, including the View alum Meghan McCain expressed their disapproval of the stunt, posting on X that Bianca looked like a “victim and a hostage.” But the “Flashing Lights” rapper’s post seemed to clarify that while his wife was completely willing, he was the mastermind behind their red carpet spectacle.
“PEOPLE SAY THE RED CARPET LOOK WAS HER DECISION,” the “Heartless” rapper continued in the post. “YES I DONT MAKE HER DO NOTHING SHE DOESNT WANT TO BUT SHE DEFINITELY WOULDNT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IT WITHOUT MY APPROVAL YOU STUPID ASS WOKE PAWNS.”
“I HAVE NO RESPECT OR EMPATHY FOR ANY ONE LIVING CAUSE NO ONE LIVING CAN F–K WITH ME,” he added, “BUT I DO LOVE SOME PEOPLE AND I GIVE THEM FAVOR.”
Indeed, just three days prior, the 47-year-old boasted about the amount of attention his wife’s completely nude look had earned them.

“FOR CLARITY,” Kanye wrote a since-deleted Instagram post. “MY WIFE IS THE MOST GOOGLED PERSON ON THE PLANET CALLED EARTH.”
And to prove just how successful they were in creating a viral moment, he posted screenshots of Google Search analytics for the term “Bianca censori Grammys,” to his Instagram Stories, as well as a photo of his wife’s No. 1 spot on the “Trends” list.
In a separate since-deleted post, he added, “WE BEAT THE GRAMMIES.”
In addition, he responded to the ongoing backlash against his wife’s Grammys look with nothing but pure praise.
“My wife’s first red carpet opened a whole new world,” Kanye wrote on X Feb. 6. “I keep staring at this photo like I was staring in admiration that night Thinking wow I am so lucky to have a wife that is so smart talented brave and hot.”
