Kanye West has reportedly banned his wife Bianca Censori from social media.
The rapper married Censori in secret in December 2022, just a month after he finalized his divorce from his ex Kim Kardashian. Now, a new report suggests the architectural designer has stepped away from sites like Instagram and X on the advice of her husband because he worries about the impact trolls will have on her mental health.
“Bianca has always had social media and she was active on it — until she married Kanye. He doesn’t want her to have it because he thinks that it will hurt her if she has to read the nasty things that people say. He convinced her that, since she is a star now, she has to remain a mystery,” a source told the Dailmail.com.
It comes after West paid a heartfelt tribute to his spouse to mark her birthday earlier this month, praising Censori for her constant support and for being a good stepmother to his children North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.
“Happy birthday to the most beautiful super bad iconic muse inspirational talented artist master’s degree in architecture 140 IQ, loving by my side everyday when half the world turned their backs on me, and the most amazing stepmom to our children. I love you so much thank you for sharing your life with me,” West shared a close-up photo of Bianca and wrote on Instagram.
The rapper and Censori tied the knot at a private ceremony in California in December 2022. It was previously believed to be a nonlegally binding ceremony, but it was later claimed they were determined to tie the knot for “religious reasons.”
“Kanye and Bianca were legally married last year when they had their private ceremony in Beverly Hills, it was real and legal … [It was] because of religious reasons,” an insider previously told Us Weekly.
The source added the couple wanted to “be intimate” but they were “also in love.” It was revealed the ceremony was legal and took place on Dec. 20, 2022, with the pair using a confidential marriage license — which meant the marriage was not listed in the public record.
The license lists their wedding as having occurred in Palo Alto, California.
