Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, allegedly had a "huge fight" over his repeated use of anti-Semitic language. Despite her advice, West continued to include controversial lyrics in his album "Vultures."
The model was reportedly the reason behind West's apology to the Jewish community, with Censori allegedly fearing repercussions from "Jewish extremists."
Kanye West And Bianca Censori Allegedly Had A 'Huge Fight'
West and his wife, Censori, reportedly had a heated argument after she cautioned him against using anti-Semitic language at a listening event for his latest album. Sources revealed that the altercation led to Censori's absence from his New York event and after-party.
The rapper, known for being controversial and going on anti-Semitic rants, faced backlash recently during his livestream from Chicago's United Center for his new album, "Vultures" listening event.
The livestream was cut off after the rapper sang the lyrics: "And I'm still crazy, bipolar, anti-Semite / And I'm still the king."
According to sources who spoke to the Daily Mail, Censori advised the "Praise God" rapper against including such content from his album "Vultures."
"Their argument Friday was because Kanye lost it when they cut off his song at the listening event the night before due to his unacceptable lyrics," the source shared. "Bianca was trying to say that he should not include another anti-Jewish lyric – especially after the backlash he got in Dubai when the album's first anti-Semitic lyric surfaced."
They continued: "Kanye has been taking out all of his frustrations over this on Bianca because he, literally, has no one else that wants to listen to his crap. He is using her for free promotion, putting her on the cover of his album, using her as a model for the clothing, and she is allowing him to have this control."
"She has literally become a prop, like a remote-control doll, that he can get to do anything he wants," the insider noted.
Kanye West Was Reportedly In A 'Nasty Mood' At His New York Event
On Friday, West attended an official listening event at UBS Arena solo, with Censori notably absent even at the after-party at Harbor NYC Rooftop nightclub. Her absence seemed to affect the rapper's mood, as he arrived wearing a full face mask and left after just 10 minutes.
"Kanye really screwed over the people who threw him the after-party and he did not seem to care," a source told the publication. "He showed up several hours late and he did not have Bianca with him. He was in a nasty mood and was wearing a mask the whole time."
The insider continued: "Kanye stayed for 10 minutes and then left without thanking anyone who helped to organize the event. The place was packed with fans that were there to see him and they were playing his new album."
West's abrupt departure left organizers frustrated, especially given the effort they had put into the $300-a-ticket after-party, with the source adding: "Organizers put so much into this to make it a phenomenal after-party for Kanye and his crew, only for him to completely s--- on them."
The Rapper's Controversial 'Anti-Semitic' Lyrics
Earlier this month, West unveiled his NYC event for "Vultures" with a social media post stating, "Vultures UBS Arena New York 02 09 24."
This reveal followed his debut of the first single, "Vultures," from the album at a listening party in Dubai two months prior.
Video footage captured him performing controversial lyrics, "How am I anti-Semitic? I just f----- a Jewish b-----," sparking widespread criticism, including condemnation from the American Jewish Committee.
In December, reports surfaced that Censori urged her husband to apologize to the Jewish community, expressing concerns about his behavior and its impact on their safety.
"She told him that his recent behavior was unacceptable and that he needs to apologize because he was putting them in danger and setting a horrible example for his children," a source shared.
The insider added: "Bianca is really sick of his attention seeking and she knows that this is not who he truly is, but it is making her look like she is anti-Semitic which is so far from the truth. She has many Jewish friends who she loves dearly and he knows this."
Kanye West Apologized To The Jewish Community For 'Any Pain' He Caused
Later, the "Love Lockdown" hitmaker took to Instagram, addressing his 19 million followers in Hebrew, expressing remorse: "I deeply regret any pain I've caused."
However, the apology followed a series of controversial incidents, including anti-Semitic remarks during a performance in Dubai and praise for Hitler at a listening party in Las Vegas, where Bianca was conspicuously absent.
During his tirade, he criticized the attendees for sending their kids to what he called "Zionist schools."
A source also revealed that Censori finds Kanye's behavior distressing. They said: "He just waits until she is gone. By the time she finds out what he's done and said, it is too late. And now it's at the point where she is starting to fear for her safety - not because of Kanye hurting her or anything like that."
"It is more like she fears that a Jewish extremist could potentially do something to hurt both of them," the source added.
