Bianca Censori is setting the record straight. The wife of Kanye West, with whom she's been married for three years, has dismissed rumors that the "Jesus Walks" rapper is behind the barely-there ensembles she often sports during public appearances. "I wouldn't be doing something I didn't want to do," Bianca told Vanity Fair in an interview published on February 6th. She explained that while she and Kanye often collaborate on her fashion choices, every time she appears nude, it's entirely her own decision. "Me and my husband would work on my outfits together. So it was like a collaboration, it was never 'I was being told to do something.'"
The 31-year-old went on to explain that she's always "had an obvious obsession with nudity," even before she became a public figure after beginning her romance with the Yeezy founder in 2022. "I was naked everywhere," she said. "I didn't detach from it at any point. I consistently showed the same imagery over and over again." The architect added, "I live my artwork."
Bianca's rare public comments come after Kanye—who shares kids North, 12, Saint, 10, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6, with ex Kim Kardashian—credited her for playing a pivotal role in his recovery amid his ongoing mental health struggles and bipolar disorder. "Toward the end of my four-month-long manic episode, my medication was changed," he said in an email interview with Vanity Fair published on January 27th. "In that shift, the antipsychotic drug took me into a really deep depressive episode. My wife recognized that, and we sought out what's been effective and stabilizing course correction in my regime from a rehab facility in Switzerland."
The 48-year-old added, "You must understand bipolar is a disease. It's one of the most lethal nonterminal illnesses." He went on to share how his episode impacted his personal relationships. "When you're manic, you really don't think that you're sick," Kanye said. "You think that everyone else is deeply overreacting. You feel like you're seeing the world so much more clearly on things, when in reality you're losing your grip entirely. That's what it felt like at that time."
