Bianca Censori has refuted claims that she shared a post expressing "concern" for her husband Ye’s mental state following his recent hate-filled social media tirade.
The artist formerly known as Kanye West has since deactivated his X account. Kanye West and Bianca Censori were last seen attending the Marni RTW Fall 2024 show during Milan Fashion Week on February 23, 2024.
On Sunday, an X user claiming to be Censori addressed the controversial posts from the rapper, in which he praised Adolf Hitler, declared that he has "dominion" over Censori, and expressed love for Sean "Diddy" Combs, who was arrested last year over abuse and sex trafficking allegations.

"Lord, I lift up my husband to You with love & concern. Soften his heart, guide his words, and fill him with wisdom and kindness," read the X post from verified user, Bianca Censori. "Protect him from trouble & lead him toward understanding & respect for all people. Despite our differences, I love him unconditionally. Strengthen our bond & help me be a source of patience & encouragement. I trust in Your grace to work in his heart. God Bless Israel and All The Good Jewish Pple. Amen."
A rep for Censori and Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has since denied that she wrote the post, adding that the account itself is fake and "does not belong to Ye’s wife."
Kanye West and Bianca Censori attend the 67th GRAMMY Awards at Crypto.com Arena on February 02, 2025 in Los Angeles, California.
The rep added, "We have reached out to X to get the account unverified and/or banned."
The inflammatory messages from Ye came days after the couple courted criticism with their appearance on the Grammys red carpet, where Censori dropped her coat to reveal a nearly nude sheer dress. The outfit was heavily criticized, leading West to tell followers that he has "DOMINION OVER MY WIFE" and slam "WOKE AS[S] FEMINIST S---" from those who didn't approve. Additional messages saw Ye double down on previously expressed antisemitic rhetoric — which led to the dissolution of partnerships with brands like Adidas and Balenciaga in 2022.
David Schwimmer was among those who publicly condemned the posts. The Friends star also called on X owner Elon Musk to remove Ye from the social media platform.
"We can’t stop a deranged bigot from spewing hate filled, ignorant bile…but we CAN stop giving him a megaphone, Mr. Musk,” the Jewish actor wrote on Instagram. “Kanye West has 32.7 million followers on your platform, X. That’s twice as many people than the number of Jews in existence. His sick hate speech results in REAL LIFE violence against Jews."

West’s profile now reads, “This account doesn’t exist." EW reached out to Ye's representatives who said, "Ye is an intergenerational artist and icon who continues to redefine the limits of creativity and free expression. He has deactivated his X account for the time being.”
After West shared a farewell message on X, he wrote, "Elon stopped following me, so I don't know how much longer I'll be on Twitter / X," adding a link to his official merchandise page.
In a follow-up, he continued, "I'm logging out of Twitter. I appreciate Elon for allowing me to vent. It has been very cathartic to use the world as a sounding board. It was like an Ayahuasca trip. Love all of you who gave me your energy and attention. To we connect again. Good afternoon and good night."
Ye is no stranger to controversy, having previously incited criticism for voicing support for Hitler, including a 2022 interview with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
"I see good things about Hitler also," Ye said at the time. "This guy that invented highways, invented the very microphone that I use every day as a musician, you can't say out loud that this person ever did anything good, and I'm done with that. I'm done with the classifications. Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler."
Ye apologized to the Jewish community the following year, in a social media statement, in which he wrote that it was "not my intention to offend or demean, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused." He later added, "I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future. Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity."
