Kanye West has spoken out about the speculation that he and Bianca Censori were ‘removed from the Grammys’.
On February 2nd, the 47-year-old rapper and his 30-year-old partner garnered international attention for their actions on the red carpet.
West, dressed entirely in black with sunglasses, whispered to his Australian wife as she faced away from photographers and gradually let her black fur coat fall, revealing a transparent mesh outfit without underwear.
Following their appearance, reports emerged that the couple had departed, sparking a social media frenzy with rumors suggesting they were ‘expelled’ from the 67th Grammy Awards.
West has now criticized former CNN journalist Don Lemon, accusing him of spreading the false narrative.
Posting a photo of Lemon online, West commented: “This the goofball that started the rumor that me and my wife got kicked out the Grammies 3 decades of innovating music and they always K***S like this.”
The post has since been removed.
In response, Lemon addressed West through a video on his Instagram page.
“First of all, Kanye… Ye, yay – whatever your name is. I did not start a rumor about you being kicked out of the Grammys, I actually corrected it,” he stated.
“I saw someone on your team who asked me to correct it because it had been reported everywhere. So first of all, get your s*** straight, and you of all people calling me a k**n. N***o that ‘Make America Great Again’ hat must be too tight on your head.”
Meanwhile, a source close to West revealed to The Sun on Sunday that the rapper supposedly used the Grammys event to display ‘art’ through his wife.
“People have called this a stunt but to Ye this is his art,” they mentioned.
“He turned up, made headlines around the world and left. No one told him what to do and even if they had, he wouldn’t have listened.
“Ye always planned to do the red carpet and leave – he’d never sit through the Grammys because it’s so dull and boring.”
During their time on the red carpet, West appeared to offer words of support to his wife.
“I’ll tell ’em you’re on fire tonight, babe,” the rapper reportedly said, according to lip-reader Nicola Hickling who spoke to the Mirror.
