Kanye West stirred attention with a cryptic masked selfie on Instagram, coinciding with wife Bianca Censori's warning that her account had been repeatedly hacked.
The couple's social activity followed a chaotic Shanghai concert marred by delays and technical issues. Meanwhile, West faces serious legal allegations from ex-assistant Lauren Pisciotta, who accused him of sexual assault and more.
Kanye West's team has dismissed the claims as fabricated and ever-changing, with Yeezy rep Milo Yiannopoulos calling them absurd and suggesting Pisciotta is attempting extortion.

West raised eyebrows this week after posting a cryptic image of himself on Instagram, just as his wife, Censori, revealed hackers had targeted her account.
On Tuesday, the controversial rapper shared a haunting selfie featuring a perforated green mask covering his face, partially hidden beneath a hoodie.
The unsettling image was one of several recent posts, including abstract artworks and snapshots from his recent trip to South Korea.
Not long after the 24-time Grammy winner's masked upload, Censori issued a public warning via her Instagram Story, cautioning followers about suspicious activity on her profile.
"This account has been subject to recurring hacks," she wrote, per reports. "Anything strange is not me."
The Model Recently Wiped Most Of Her Images On Instagram

Censori, who previously served as an architectural designer at Yeezy, had recently purged most of her content, leaving behind only a few provocative photos believed to be from October 2024, during a trip to Japan with West.
In the remaining photos, she poses in a nearly see-through white lace lingerie set inside a hotel suite, styled with stiletto heels.
She captioned the post, "Japan October 2024 shot by @ye," crediting West as the photographer.
Kanye West Faces Fan Backlash After Chaotic Shanghai Show Marred By Delays And Technical Issues

West and Censori's social media activity comes days after they returned from a high-profile trip to Shanghai.
In Shanghai, the 48-year-old rapper performed to a sold-out crowd of 70,000 fans.
But the event quickly turned chaotic when the rapper appeared more than 40 minutes late, prompting frustrated attendees to chant for refunds. Technical issues throughout the show only added to the backlash.
Clips shared by fans on X captured the unrest, with thousands audibly expressing their disappointment.
"So I've been a fan of Kanye West since I was a teen. MBDTF opened my ears to the sonics in music," one longtime supporter posted, referencing West's 2010 album, "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy."
However, their tone shifted in a follow-up message criticizing the artist's live performances.
According to The Blast, the fan wrote, "@kanyewest, you should not tour. It's not for you. Stick to the studio. Drop surprise albums and be that guy. I'm the biggest supporter of (most of) your work. You waste people's time, excitement, and money by pretending that you're a performer."
Kanye West Accused of Sexual Assault And Trafficking By Former Assistant In Amended Lawsuit

West's concert in Shanghai came on the heels of serious legal allegations brought against him by his former assistant.
In newly amended court filings obtained by the New York Post, Lauren Pisciotta, who worked as West's personal assistant between 2021 and 2022, accused the rapper of a series of grave offenses, including sexual assault, stalking, false imprisonment, and sex trafficking.
Pisciotta, a 36-year-old influencer and former OnlyFans model, alleged that most of the incidents occurred during a work trip to San Francisco.
According to the documents, she repeatedly rejected West's alleged advances, but says the behavior escalated dangerously.
Pisciotta claims the "Jesus Walks" rapper kissed her without consent and later m-sturbated while "forcibly touching" her during a writing session in his hotel room.
In another incident, Pisciotta alleged the rapper forced his way into her room under the pretense of needing a shower, and then allegedly orally raped her while pinning her down, leaving her "frozen in shock and fear."
Kanye West's Team Slams His Ex-Assistant's Allegations As 'Fantasy Fiction'

A representative for West dismissed the latest complaint by Pisciotta in a statement to Page Six, describing it as the "fourth version" of a continuously shifting narrative.
"Each new revision contradicts the others; each is more absurd and outlandish than all previous claims combined. Does Ms. Pisciotta actually believe her confabulations? We cannot know. But this breathless new installment of fantasy fiction discredits all past, present, and future testimony," the spokesperson said.
"The Courts are no place to indulge delusions and mental disturbances," they continued. "We stand ready to annihilate Ms. Pisciotta's tall tales before a jury — an exoneration so inevitable that even she, lost in her fog of fantasy, must surely see it coming."
Milo Yiannopoulos, a representative of West's Yeezy brand, also came to his defense, blasting the accusations as "absurd."
He argued that Pisciotta "picked the one rapper who loathes violence, has never been arrested, and doesn't even own a gun."
Yiannopoulos didn't mince words, adding, "An extortionist of Ms. Pisciotta's vaulting ambition ought to choose her victims more wisely."
