Kanye West's worrying five word command to Bianca Censori before Grammys strip revealed

Kanye West was very much in control of the drama that unfolded with his wife Bianca Censori on the Grammys red carpet, according to a lip reader.

The Australian model, 30, caused global outrage after she dropped the long black fur coat she was wearing to reveal that she had on just a see-through slip which left nothing to the imagination.

Prior to the incident, rapper West - who officially changed his name to “Ye” in 2021 - could be seen whispering something to his other half.

Now, Nicola Hickling, the head analyst at LipReader, has disclosed the exchange that happened between them before everything went down.

Ms Hickling claims West was encouraging Censori. "You're making a scene now," West allegedly said after initially praising her, prompting Censori to silently nod her head.

He continued in his encouragement, telling her to "Make a scene, I'll say it'll make so much sense," reports the Mirror.

Censori again nodded in agreement, before West instructed her to "Drop it behind you and then turn, I got you."

"Alright let's go," Censori responded, as interpreted by the lip-reading expert.

After she bared all for waiting photographers and a live stream camera, the internet erupted with outrage, branding the incident “lewd and disgusting”.

Others also voiced concern for Censori’s well-being as this is not the first time she and West have caused controversy.

There are conflicting reports as to whether or not they were ejected from the event or left of their own free will.
