Kanye West has hit back at critics after his wife, Bianca Censori, faced intense backlash for her nude Grammys outfit.
The 47-year-old rapper and his wife, 30 are no strangers to bold fashion choices, with Censori frequently turning heads in sheer and revealing ensembles while out with West. However, their latest statement look pushed boundaries even further.
At Sunday nightâs Grammy Awards, she stepped onto the red carpet in a completely see-through minidress, leaving fans stunned.
Amid the controversy, Ye has now taken to X to defend his other half, responding to the widespread criticism of her look.
He penned: âMy wifeâs first red carpet opened a whole new world. I keep staring at this photo like I was staring in admiration that night Thinking wow I am so lucky to have a wife that is so smart talented brave and hot.

âShe took a break from shooting her first film to make a movie in real life We Tailored that invisible dress 6 times And just like magic poof we disappeared.â
He then went on to thank the outlets that acknowledged the look, giving special mention to American Vogue, which he said highlighted "rightful strength."
"Thank you to all the outlets that recognised us and reflected the energy we put in," he wrote. "But I have to give a special shout-out to the American Vogue team for writing an article that portrays my wife in such a positive light and acknowledges rightful strength."
He ended with a defiant message to his critics: âPeople asked how your mother would feel. You don't know my mama, b***h.â
An opinion piece by Raven Smith, published in American Vogue, analysed the look and the discomfort surrounding the fact that little is known about Censori other than her nude appearance.
âWhile Iâm not exactly promoting nudity on the red carpet, itâs worth noting that Biancaâs body is her own, and therefore her choice. I hate to state the obvious, but a woman has the right to wear whatever she chooses,â the article stated.

âI donât think we should assume that because Biancaâs pretty much naked, sheâs not fully in control of herself, or that sheâs not thoroughly enjoying her exhibitionism.â
Itâs not the first time Ye has defended his wifeâs appearance. On Tuesday, he shared a post on his Instagram which implied that his wifeâs stunt had overshadowed the winners at the awards show.
Following the shock appearance, reports emerged that the rapper and Censori had turned up uninvited, and were escorted out by cops after their âcrazy stuntâ.

In California, public nudity is not illegal in itself but public indecency is. To charge someone with public indecency, the incident needs to involve someone intentionally exposing their genitals or naked body in front of someone who could be offended.
This stipulation that it needs to be in front of someone could be offended could have been negated by the fact that Censori was at an awards show, where itâs common for unusual outfits to be displayed.
If Censori was charged with indecent exposure, those charges could also expand to include Kanye West for assisting her.
However, as it stands, there is no evidence to suggest that either member of the couple will be charged.
