Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s Grammys shocker

West and his wife Bianca Censori had shocked everyone at the Grammy awards last week. Censori appeared in a transparent minidress that left nothing to the imagination, while Ye was dressed in an all-black outfit. The duo then left the venue, prompting rumours that they had been escorted out. It was revealed later West had chosen to leave the awards.

The rapper was at the event because his track ‘Carnival’ was nominated in the best rap song category. He lost out to Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us.’

Later on, the musician denied allegations that Censori was coerced by him to wear the revealing dress but claimed that he had “dominion” over her. West also said that Censori would not have been able to wear the dress had he not approved it.
