The glitz and glamour of the Grammy Awards often mask the real drama taking place behind the scenes and this year was no exception. Before Bianca Censori’s jaw-dropping nearly nude appearance on the red carpet, tensions between her and Kanye West were reportedly running high. As per sources, the couple appeared to be in the middle of a disagreement, adding a layer of intrigue to what was already a shocking public spectacle.
Actress and social media personality Riley Mae Lewis, who was just feet away from the duo at the 67th Grammy Awards on February 2, shared her observations with The Sun. She described an unsettling dynamic between Kanye and Bianca, suggesting that their relationship seemed strained in the moments leading up to Bianca’s dramatic reveal.
“I thought they might’ve been arguing or something. She didn’t look like she was fully onboard with the scandal he wanted to create on the carpet,” Riley said.
The “energy” between them felt off, she explained, and others nearby had noticed it too. The tension was palpable, making it clear that whatever was happening between them wasn’t just a case of pre-show jitters.
According to her, Bianca appeared uncomfortable and disengaged, while Kanye seemed to be revelling in the attention, fully aware of the media frenzy his wife’s outfit, or lack thereof, would generate. “Bianca did not look like she wanted to be there and Kanye looked like he was loving the attention, knowing the publicity it would later bring him,” Riley added.
Looking back, she speculated that this might have been a precursor to Kanye’s latest string of erratic behaviour online.
“Now seeing everything that is going on with Kanye’s wild rants, it makes sense, possibly this is what led to the downfall of Kanye on Twitter. This all was definitely planned, no doubt,” she said.
Shortly after the Grammys, Kanye launched into a vile anti-Semitic tirade on X, claiming to be a Nazi and expressing admiration for Hitler. His shocking statements, including calling a swastika t-shirt his greatest “work of art,” were met with widespread outrage. Amid his disturbing remarks, Kanye also made troubling declarations about his wife, stating that he had “dominion” over Bianca. In the same breath, he boasted about her Grammy outfit and bizarrely called for the release of Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently in jail on sex trafficking charges.
Kanye West dropped millions on a bizarre Super Bowl ad for Yeezy, then wiped his entire site—leaving just one item for sale: a Swastika shirt. 😳 pic.twitter.com/bH0dqjkqpq— Alberto (@Dr_Getbooty) February 10, 2025
According to The Sun, the backlash was immediate and fierce. Furious fans denounced him, cancelling Yeezy orders and pledging to boycott his upcoming album. Tech mogul Daniel Starr even offered $2 million for five minutes in a boxing ring with Kanye, calling him “a disgrace to humanity.” Meanwhile, Friends star David Schwimmer condemned the rapper’s outburst as “ignorant bile” and urged X’s owner, Elon Musk, to take action.
