Kanye West's Reported Command to Red Carpet Staff Before Bianca Censori's Bold Stunt at Grammys 2025

The musician's directive to his wife isn't the only topic drawing attention. Following their headline-making appearance at the Grammys, his mother-in-law has decided to speak out.

Kanye West allegedly issued another directive to the red carpet staff at the 67th Grammy Awards. A lip reader analyzed his words, revealing what the rapper told the staff just before his wife, Bianca Censori, removed her coat.

The moment wasn't just about fashion—it became a spectacle. The 2025 Grammys, hosted by Trevor Noah for the fifth consecutive year, took place at LA's Crypto.com Arena.

The event also served as a fundraiser for fire relief following the devastating blazes that erupted on January 7, 2025, in Pacific Palisades.

West was nominated for Best Rap Song that evening, but his red carpet interactions with Censori became the night's defining controversy. A viral video captured their tense exchange as she arrived in a fur coat.

According to a lip reader, Nicola Hickling, West appeared to instruct his wife to remove the coat and embrace a bold, nearly nude look that shocked onlookers. The record producer seemingly told Censori that she was making a scene, prompting her to nod. According to Hickling’s analysis, he said making a scene made sense.

After another nod, Censori listened as West instructed her to drop the coat behind her and turn, assuring her she was fine. She reportedly responded in agreement before following through with his directive.

The pair exited shortly after the unsettling display, fueling speculation about whether they had been asked to leave. While some sources claimed they were escorted out, others insisted they left by choice, leaving the full story up for debate.

The controversy surrounding their red carpet appearance has only fueled ongoing concerns about Censori's well-being and the level of control West has over her.

According to insiders, those close to the architect have grown increasingly worried about the influence her husband exerts. A close friend revealed that her inner circle feels powerless to intervene. “Bianca is stuck, and her friends are trying to save her, but no one can because of the blockades Kanye has put up [around her],” the source stated.

The friend described the shift in Censori's demeanor as alarming, "This isn't who she is. She is an incredibly outspoken and lively person who is never one to keep her mouth shut." With little access to her support system, those who once knew her best fear for her, calling the situation "scary."

As concern grows among her friends, Censori's family has also found itself thrust into the spotlight, with the media looking to them for answers following her shocking red carpet moment. Her mother, Alexandra Censori, addressed the scrutiny but made it clear that their family wants to maintain its privacy.

"We are just normal people, living our own lives as privately as we can," she stated, emphasizing their desire to stay out of the public eye despite the intense attention surrounding her daughter. While the Australian native's mother has attempted to maintain privacy, the relentless media attention has placed an unexpected burden on the family.

The 30-year-old's father, Elia "Leo" Censori, who is believed to be in his 60s, had already left for work in his truck, leaving his wife and their daughter, Angelina Censori, to handle the ongoing scrutiny.

The controversy surrounding the couple goes further than their shocking red carpet moment. West's behavior before the stunt has also been analyzed, particularly his interactions with event staff.

Just moments before Censori's revealing display, West was caught on camera whispering to red carpet personnel while gesturing emphatically. The footage suggests he was orchestrating the moment down to the finest detail.

A lip reader, Jeremy Freeman, provided insight into the exchange in an interview. According to him, the rapper appeared to be directing the setup.

"Does that make sense, push that out of the way…that person right there…" he reportedly said before instructing staff to "push him out, there…," seemingly ensuring an unobstructed view for the cameras.

West's meticulous orchestration of the red carpet moment is just one chapter in a relationship that has captivated and unsettled the public in equal measure.

His connection with Censori first sparked widespread attention in January 2023, coinciding with the backlash over his troubling anti-Semitic remarks. In an unexpected twist, it later emerged that the two had secretly wed in December 2022—weeks before making their relationship public.

Since then, the couple has remained in the spotlight, drawing attention with their unconventional fashion choices and highly publicized displays of affection. Their whirlwind romance has taken them across the globe, with one of their most talked-about trips being a summer getaway to Italy.

While traveling through the country in August 2023, the pair made no effort to keep their affection private, engaging in passionate moments on multiple occasions. During a stop in Florence, Censori—wearing a barely-there thong bodysuit with sheer tights—was spotted sharing a heated kiss with West in the middle of the street.

Less than a week later, the Grammy winner openly grabbed his wife’s backside while they waited outside a Travis Scott concert, where he later made a surprise appearance. Their affection was also on full display in a video posted to Instagram, capturing them singing and dancing alongside friends during an intimate dinner.

The romantic getaway lasted through the end of the month, culminating in a now-infamous moment when West was photographed on a boat in Venice with his pants down, further fueling the controversy surrounding their relationship.

As West and Bianca Censori continue to make waves with their controversial appearances and eyebrow-raising decisions, the scrutiny surrounding their relationship only intensifies. Concerns from friends, the persistent media attention on her family, and West's apparent control over their public image have raised questions that remain unanswered.

Whether their latest Grammys stunt was a calculated move or an impulsive act, it has only fueled ongoing debates about their dynamic. While some view them as a bold, unconventional couple, others see troubling signs beneath the spectacle. As the world watches, one thing is certain—the fascination with West and Censori shows no signs of fading.
