While Censori is currently staying at their $35 million home in Beverly Park North, Los Angeles, it remains unclear where West is. Some reports, including Daily Mail, suggest he may return to Tokyo, Japan, where he spent much of the past year living in a hotel.
Speculation about tension between the two intensified after Censori’s Grammys appearance on February 2, where she appeared visibly uncomfortable as West allegedly instructed her to drop her fur coat and “make a scene” on the red carpet.
According to sources, West saw the moment as “art” and an attempt to replicate the cover of his upcoming album, “Vultures 2.” However, Censori’s demeanor suggested she may not have been fully on board.

I keep staring at this photo like I was staring in admiration that night thinking wow I am so lucky to have a wife that is so smart, talented, brave, and hot.”
He continued, “She took a break from shooting her first film to make a movie in real life. We tailored that invisible dress six times. And just like magic, poof we disappeared.”
The rapper also admitted to having “dominance” over Censori, writing, “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 you stupid woke a– pawns.”

West went on to blast those who accused him of orchestrating the look for attention, insisting that Censori has been dressing provocatively for years.
“She been dressing naked for 2 years. Now all of a sudden it’s a stunt,” he wrote. “Every single b-tch on the planet wish they had her bravery, body, platform, and access to money and a husband that supported they personal expression.”
West also revealed that he “fired and blocked” an employee who expressed discomfort over Censori’s revealing look, further cementing his control over his inner circle.
Doubling Down On Controversy

In addition to defending his wife’s fashion choices, West reaffirmed his past controversial statements, standing by both his antisemitic remarks and his infamous claim that “slavery is a choice.”
His social media meltdown didn’t stop there—West also came to the defense of embattled music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently facing multiple legal challenges. West announced plans to sell pieces from his past collaboration with Diddy while rallying support for the music executive.
His posts started with a simple message: “FREE PUFF” but quickly escalated into a profanity-filled tirade.

“THEY TRYNA PROVE A POINT AND YALL KNOW THAT YALL F-CKING KNOW THAT AND SITTING LAUGHING AT THE F-CKING INTERNET ON INSTAGRAM,” he wrote, implying that the charges against Diddy were part of a larger conspiracy.
