Bianca Censori Reportedly ‘Wanted to Back Out’ of Nude Grammys Stunt
Bianca Censori reportedly contested wearing a see-through dress to the Grammy Awards Sunday night, but her husband Kanye West, who now goes by Ye, insisted she go through with the stunt.
Citing a “close West confidante” who spoke to the couple after the affair, the New York Post reports that Censori initially tried to back out of the whole thing.
“She would have much rather worn a pretty dress,” the unnamed source told The Post. “She would have enjoyed the evening a lot more.”
“She was really nervous and wanted to back out several times, but he didn’t want her to,” they added. “When Ye gets something in his head, there’s no talking him out of it. But make no mistake, this was totally him and not her.”
The Australian architect arrived at the Grammys red carpet wearing a fur coat before slipping it off to reveal a skin-tight, sheer dress. Although Censori has famously worn risqué outfits since her and West went public with their relationship almost three years ago, the stunt shocked many including the Post’s insider who said, “This is literally what people have nightmares about.
“And she did it on purpose. But she wouldn’t have done it without Ye,” they continued.
The source also claimed that West knew the stunt “would make a splash.”
“And a splash it made! It took a lot of courage on her part, but ultimately they’re both happy that she did it. It’s all anyone is talking about,” they concluded.
Shortly after the stunt, West shared a photo of the dress in a since-deleted post on his Instagram where he wrote: “Custom Couture Grammy dress for the most beautiful woman ever. My love, my best friend. My wife.”
The rapper was up for a nomination Sunday in the Best Rap Song category which ultimately went to Kendrick Lamar for “Not Like Us.”
Rumors that he and Censori were escorted out of the event for the nude stunt were swiftly shut down with Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. telling Entertainment Tonight that West only wanted to walk the red carpet.
