Kanye West and his spouse, Bianca Censori, reportedly separated several weeks ago. Sources close to West indicate that he has conveyed to his acquaintances his intention to pursue a divorce.
According to reports by Newsafro.com on Monday morning, the rapper and his wife have been experiencing marital difficulties for some time and are ‘possibly’ considering filing for divorce. West, 47, is currently in Tokyo, while Censori, 29, has traveled to Australia to spend time with her family during this challenging period.
The report further states that Kanye West, the former husband of Kim Kardashian, has been informing his friends that he wishes to end his relationship with Bianca Censori and desires to remain single during his time in Japan. As of now, no specific reasons for the dissolution of their relationship have been disclosed. Notably, the couple has not been seen together since September 20.
The couple has previously been observed engaging in separate outings, suggesting that their recent individual appearances may not necessarily indicate any strain in their relationship. It is plausible that Bianca was unable to accompany West on this particular segment of his trip for reasons yet to be disclosed.
The last confirmed sighting of the couple together was on September 20 while they were shopping in Tokyo.
West and Censori entered into matrimony in December 2022, merely one month after the finalization of his divorce from Kim Kardashian. Kanye shares four children with Kardashian: daughters North, 11, and Chicago, 6, and sons Saint, 8, and Psalm, 5.
Recently, Bianca has been accompanying West, providing support at his various Vultures Listening Parties held internationally, and her family attended one of these events as well.
The couple is frequently a notable presence when together, largely due to Bianca’s provocative attire.
In February of this year, a source disclosed to Newsafro.com that Kim Kardashian, the founder of SKIMS, had requested Kanye to ensure that his wife dressed more modestly in the presence of their children. The source stated, “Kim instructed Kanye to never allow Bianca to dress in such a manner around their kids. She is genuinely astonished that Kanye would permit his wife to leave the house in such outfits.”
The insider further commented, “Kanye employed similar tactics with Kim during their marriage. The distinction lies in the fact that when Kanye styled Kim, he was regarded as an individual and an artist.”
“Regrettably, Kim is aware of what Bianca is experiencing; however, she believes that Bianca should have been aware of the circumstances she was entering.”
In the meantime, last week, Kanye announced the release of a new album and premiered a new song during his performance in Haikou, China. The upcoming album, titled Bully, follows his two Vultures releases earlier this year.
The new song, titled Beauty and the Beast, features West performing over an instrumental backdrop in China. Notable lyrics from the track include:
“I still think about it every night and day to try to stay away, to keep my audience / Don’t take this disrespect, I’m sitting here trying to redirect.”
Additionally, during the concert, West unveiled a new rendition of 530, a track from Vultures 2, which fans are describing as a completed version due to the inclusion of a second verse.
While West did not provide any indication regarding the release date for the Bully album, historical patterns suggest it may experience delays similar to his previous Vultures projects. The initial Vultures album faced several months of delays before its release on February 10, while the second project, originally slated for a March 8 debut, was ultimately postponed until August 3.
