Renowned rapper Kanye West made headlines on Hollywood Boulevard as he seized a TMZ reporter’s phone in response to what he deemed as intrusive and “dumb” questions about his wife, Bianca Censori.
The incident occurred as West was en route to Charlie Wilson’s Walk of Fame ceremony, where he, accompanied by Bianca Censori, made a distinctive appearance donned in a black full-face covering, leather jacket, gloves, and stone wash grey jeans.
As Kanye West walked to the venue, a TMZ reporter approached him with a question about Censori’s free will, insinuating control over her. In a swift reaction, West grabbed the reporter’s phone, delivering an impromptu street lecture on the absurdity of the inquiry and the persistent intrusion into his personal life.
Ironically, the reporter, initially seeking a soundbite for her story, became the focus of the incident, as Kanye West continued to emphasize the inappropriateness of her line of questioning.
In an unexpected turn, Kanye West offered the reporter a job, stating he would pay her double if she worked for him instead of TMZ. The embarrassed journalist accepted her phone back, concluding the public altercation.
The context behind the reporter’s inquiry stems from recent controversy surrounding Kanye West’s social media behavior. The rapper deleted his Instagram posts amid accusations of restricting Censori’s access to social media. Reports suggest West convinced Censori to remain a “mystery” despite his own posts sharing explicit images of her, prompting concerns about control and isolation.
Insiders claim West’s actions are causing Censori to become increasingly isolated, shifting from her role as his designer to his wife. The source suggests she feels trapped in a position that is unfortunately not financially compensated.
Kanye West, known for his eccentric style, made waves at Charlie Wilson’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony alongside his wife. The rapper, who collaborated with Wilson on his 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, showcased his unique fashion sense, turning heads and ensuring the event remained as distinctive as his personality.
