Kanye West and Bianca Censori have been the frequent subject of headlines over their five-year relationship.
News often centres around Censori’s outfits, with her often appearing in public wearing very little clothing or sheer outfits that leave little to the imagination. West, however, tends to wear large coats and long sleeves and trousers.
Chief among these events was the 2025 Grammy Awards, where Censori wore a sheer, nude jumpsuit that made her appear almost completely naked.
Fans have raised concerns about Censori’s agency in the relationship, being 18 years West’s junior, and worry that she is being forced to wear the outfits.
There may be little to worry about now, however, as West has appeared to confirm rumours that the pair have parted ways in lyrics on his latest album.
Have Kanye West and Bianca Censori broken up?
West has hinted at an apparent split through lyrics on his newest album, WW3.
The song, ‘BIANCA’, opens with the lines: “Bianca, I just want you to come back / Come back to me / I know what I did to make you mad / Bianca, I just want you to come back / Come back to me / Want you to come back to me.”
“My baby she ran away / But first she tried to get me committed / Not going to the hospital ’cause I am not sick I just do not get it,” he continues, before admitting that “she’s having a panic attack and she is not liking the way that I tweeted”.
“Until Bianca’s back I stay up all night I’m not going to sleep / I really don’t know where she’s at,” the 47-year-old rapper says later in the song, revealing that he’s tracking her “through an app”.
“I’m tracking my b***** through the city / She hop in the car and she ran / My b**** just don’t understand / Sometimes it just feel like it’s planned,” West sings, before making a comparison between their relationship and that of Sean “Diddy” Combs and Cassie Ventura, who dated on-and-off from 2007 to 2018.
“I guess we the new Cassie and Diddy / I’m making this song for Bianca / I’m feeling the spirit of Donda,” the lyrics conclude, with Donda referencing his late mother.
The reason behind the split
Reading between the lyrics, it seems that Bianca may have left Kanye after raising concerns for his mental health.
The lines that touch on her “not liking the way that I tweeted” is presumably referring to the frequent bouts of posts that West posts on the social media platform X.
West has shared several anti-Semitic posts, alongside other forms of hate speech levelled both at groups and individuals, before ultimately having his account removed from X.
The first news of a potential split between the couple came just a few days after a series of posts ranting about Censori herself, reading: "I HAVE DOMINION OVER MY WIFE. THIS AIN'T NO WOKE A** FEMINIST S***. SHE'S WITH A BILLIONAIRE, WHY WOULD SHE LISTEN TO ANY OF YOU DUMB*** BROKE B******?
“PEOPLE SAY THE RED CARPET LOOK WAS HER DECISION. YES I DON'T MAKE HER DO NOTHING. SHE DOESN'T WANT TO, BUT SHE DEFINITELY WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IT WITHOUT MY APPROVAL.”
