Kanye West issued statement over wife Bianca Censori's X-rated Grammy dress
Kanye West issued a statement - before deleting it from the internet - on his wife Bianca Censori's X-rated Grammys outfit that has gone viral.
The couple turned up to the 2025 Grammy Awards at the Crypto.com Arena on Sunday night (2 February) in Los Angeles, held in the aftermath of horrific fires that took over the California city.
Reportedly arriving uninvited and soon escorted from the event, according to a source speaking to Page Six, it was what the couple did on the red carpet that caught everybody's attention and saw the flash on paparazzi cameras go into overdrive.

That was after 30-year-old Censori decided to take her long fur coat off. At first, it was just her shoulders - but not for long.
Underneath? Well, not much. The Australian was wearing a sheer mini-dress that was completely see-through.
And given she had no bra or underwear on, little is left to the imagination of anyone who has seen footage or images of the reveal.
West, 47, stands next to his wife in an all-black outfit with black sunglasses and shades, before moving to the side and letting her have a moment in front of the cameras on her own.
Since going viral overnight with many in the UK waking up to the rather eye-opening imagery, the rapper took to Instagram to issue a statement on the moment.
In a now-deleted post to his Instagram account, West revealed the dress was a custom couture piece created for Censori's appearance at the Grammys.
He also paid tribute to his wife in the post.
It read: "Custom Couture Grammy dress for the most beautiful ever.
"My love, my best friend and my wife."
Responding to the post, one fan said: "Bro, it's not even a dress."
Another added: "He just loves her so much. He really loves her."
And a third wrote: "Ye really went to the Grammys to shut down and promote his wife and her dress. Some legendary s**t."
While there are reports that the couple were asked to leave the event, Variety reports that West and Censori 'walked the carpet, got in his car and left'. Either way, they weren't there for long but certainly left their mark.
Many believe they had been trying to recreate the album cover of West's 2024 album, Vultures 1, in which he stands next to Censori who has her back to the camera and is wearing nothing but stockings, with a piece of sheer cloth covering her intimate areas.
Censori and West married in 2022.
