Kanye West Releases Creepy Statement Amid Bianca Censori Divorce Reports

Kanye West has spoken out for the first time since news of his divorce from Bianca Censori broke, but his message left many feeling uneasy.

On Thursday, Kanye West shared a cryptic Instagram post featuring the definition of "coercion" just an hour after reports surfaced that his marriage to Bianca Censori had come to an end.

According to Daily Mail, the since-deleted post was captioned "is the coercion" and featured a definition that read:

"Coercion is the act of forcing someone to do something against their will through threats or intimidation. It can involve physical harm, psychological abuse, extortion, blackmail, or sexual assault."

West removed the post within minutes, leaving fans speculating about its meaning and whether it was a veiled message about his short-lived marriage to Censori.

As The Blast reported, West and Censori are reportedly headed for divorce just 11 days after her controversial Grammys appearance, where she dropped her fur coat to reveal a completely sheer dress. According to insiders, the couple has verbally agreed that Censori will receive a $5 million payout as part of the split.

A source close to West has confirmed that the couple has already ended their relationship, and an official legal filing to finalize the divorce is expected in the coming days.

While Censori remains at their $35 million home in Beverly Park North, Los Angeles, West’s whereabouts are currently unknown. However, reports suggest he may be planning a return to Tokyo, Japan, where he spent much of last year living in a hotel.

Rumors of tension between the pair intensified after Censori’s controversial Grammys appearance on February 2. During the event, she appeared visibly uncomfortable as West allegedly instructed her to drop her fur coat and “make a scene” on the red carpet.

The 67th Grammy Awards red carpet turned into an internet spectacle when Censori’s barely-there outfit stole the show.

Censori made a dramatic entrance alongside West, who opted for an all-black ensemble, while she dropped jaws in a sheer mesh dress draped over a fur coat. However, lip-reading expert Nicola Hickling later revealed that West was the mastermind behind the viral moment, capturing their pre-planned exchange before she unveiled her look.

According to the analysis, West encouraged Censori to "make a scene," reassuring her with "I got you," to which she nodded and replied, "Alright. Let's go."

Under California Penal Code 314(1), indecent exposure is considered a crime when someone willfully exposes themselves in a manner that could annoy or offend others. If charged, a first-time offender could face up to six months in jail or a $1,000 fine, while repeat offenders could face felony charges and be placed on the sex offender registry.

Although no official complaints have been reported, legal experts note that her Grammy Awards exposure could be scrutinized under this law.

Earlier this week, Shopify officially shut down West’s Yeezy website, marking another major fallout from the rapper’s recent antisemitic controversies. The decision came after Yeezy.com reduced its online catalog to just one item, a T-shirt featuring a Nazi swastika on the front.

On Tuesday morning, a Shopify spokesperson confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that the platform had taken action against Yeezy for violating company policy. "All merchants are responsible for following the rules of our platform. This merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms, so we removed them from Shopify," the spokesperson stated.

Although Shopify did not specify which policies Yeezy had breached, the company’s terms of service prohibit the sale of products deemed “unsafe, inappropriate, or offensive.” Following the shutdown, visitors to Yeezy.com are now redirected to a blank webpage displaying a message that reads: "Something went wrong" and "Store not available."

The Yeezy website takedown comes just two days after West ran a controversial ad during the Super Bowl. The low-budget commercial, reportedly filmed on an iPhone, featured West in a dentist’s chair and aired in several local markets, including Los Angeles.
