When questioned about his wife, Bianca Censori, Kanye West snatched the phone from a TMZ photographer. Ye was questioned by the cameraman over claims that he is “controlling” her and has prohibited her from using her social media accounts at will. When the incident happened on Monday, West was traveling to Hollywood Boulevard for Charlie Wilson’s Walk of Fame ceremony.
In the footage of the event, as soon as the reporter mentions Censori, West knocks the camera away. West is heard stating, “Don’t come after me with your dumbass sh*t.” “Hey, I’m a real person. You’ve started recording. Come not ask me that stupid sh*t. I am a human being. West first declines the photographer’s request for their phone back before offering them a position at TMZ that pays double what they do.
As for the reports about Ye “controlling” his wife, an insider told Page Six: “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 had to read the nasty things that people say. He convinced her that, since she is a star now, she has to remain a mystery and it is creepy to those who know her as it feels like another form of control.” Ye had been repeatedly posting photos of Censori wearing little to no clothes on his Instagram. Check out the video of his altercation with the TMZ photographer below.
Monday isn’t the first time West and Censori have been involved in an incident with the media as of late. Earlier this month, TMZ published a video in which the two were accosted by a stranger in Los Angeles. The man approached them and repeatedly shouted “You ain’t sh*t, boy!!!” and also called out Playboi Carti. Be on the lookout for further updates on Kanye West on HotNewHipHop.
