Fans were left quizzically taking a double glance when Kanye West went official with his romance with Bianca Censori in 2022, with many claiming he ‘clearly has a type’ due to her striking resemblance to his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.
So far, so un-creepy. It had been Kim, 44, who initiated their 2021 divorce filing and Kanye, 48, had made no secret of his intense attraction to the reality star during their seven-year marriage – famously commenting ‘Coming home now!’ on an Instagram picture of her sporting a white bikini.
However, with the rapper’s behaviour becoming increasingly erratic over the past few years, Bianca, 30, has found herself at the centre of public concern and speculation as to the dynamics of their relationship, with fears arising over whether she is being controlled by Kanye’ or ‘cloned’ into Kim.
And last week the ongoing question mark over Bianca’s transformation from the ‘pre Kanye’ long-haired brunette with a classic dress sense to a carbon copy of Kim taken to the extreme with short cropped hair and very little, if anything, covering her body, continued to hang heavily in the air.
Taking to Instagram, Bianca was seen once again emulating Kim’s trademark style in a series of snaps in which she wears nude underwear very similar to Kim’s own SKIMS range, accessorised with a new cascading brunette wig – the exact copy of Kim’s own raven locks.
In one image, Bianca is also seen posing in the exact same position and wearing a nude bodysuit with fishnet tights similar to the diamond-studded all-in-one Kim wore for a jewellery collaboration in 2023.
So far, Kim has stayed silent to keep the peace between herself and Kanye for the sake of their four children – North, 11, Saint, nine, Chicago, seven, Psalm, six.
But now a source tells us that she can’t help but feel that Bianca is overstepping the line and is getting tired of Bianca constantly stealing her style.
The insider reveals, ‘Kim has been very sympathetic towards Bianca for a good while. She knows how awful it is to live with Kanye and his evil tirades and when he kicked off about being this proud Nazi she even reached out and offered her support, which Bianca didn’t ultimately take advantage of.
‘But lately Kim’s changed her mind, she’s come to the conclusion that Bianca’s a lot more calculated and conniving than anyone first thought. It creeps her out. She’s clearly obsessed with being Kim Kardashian 2.0 and it’s all too creepy and dark for her to take.’
Since marrying the rapper in 2022 – a month after Kanye finalised his divorce from Kim – it was widely believed that Bianca, a masters graduate who had met Kanye when working at Yeezy, has been under his control, at the very least when it came to the controversial outfits she wore in public.
But global outrage grew in February after the couple attended the Grammys red carpet, and Kanye instructed his wife to drop her fur coat, telling her, ‘Make a scene, I’ll say it’ll make so much sense. Drop it behind you and then turn, I got you.’
Bianca obediently agreed, revealing her fully naked body underneath, which was sheathed by a sheer mesh mini-dress (which was almost invisible to the eye). The rapper duly got the attention he desired, but questions over whether Bianca had any autonomy over her own body began swirling more than ever.
At the time, insiders said that Bianca ‘likes the attention’ and Kanye was quick to declare his wife as ‘the most Googled person on Earth’.
However, just days later, there was no denying that Kanye’s publicity stunts had taken another, darker, turn, when the father-of-four began posting vitriolic messages on social media.
Alongside his anti-Semitic poison, Kanye wrote, ‘I HAVE DOMINION OVER MY WIFE. THIS AINT NO WOKE AS FEMINIST S**T.
He added, ‘“When I [sic] man truly loves a woman he may express it in rage. I empathise with both sides.” He wrote in a separate tweet, “I HAVE HIT WOMEN BEFORE.”
However, while pro-Nazi Kanye insisted in the lyrics of his new track ‘BIANCA’, ‘She’s having a panic attack and she is not liking the way that I tweeted’, fans were bewildered when Bianca reunited with Kanye just weeks later.
Not only that, but insiders told us at the time how Kanye had been working on a sordid sex business, trademarking a venture for which he hoped to clone Bianca’s genitals to sell as a sex toy.
Now the insider says Kim, who has spoken candidly about Kanye’s battle with poor mental health and his bipolar disorder, is concerned that Bianca is on board with Kanye’s bizarre and often disturbing plans, and is continuing her bid to look like Kim in order to increase her own profile and fortunes.
The source tells us, ‘Kim worries Bianca’s intentions aren’t the best – is she just sticking around Kanye to further her ambitions?’
They add, ‘Bianca is clearly dead set on building her entire life and career out of being Kim’s clone. She’s even boasted that she’s a young and improved version of Kanye’s ex-wife, which has gotten back to Kim and caused even more bad blood since it’s such a disrespectful thing to say.’
Last year, Kim and Kanye’s tumultuous co-parenting relationship appeared to take a huge positive leap when Kim was photographed hanging out with Bianca at the listening party for Kanye’s last album ‘Vultures 2’ in San Francisco.
At the time, it appeared that the two – who were spotted standing next to each other – had bonded over Kim and Kanye’s children, with the source now telling us that Kim felt ‘flattered’ by Bianca’s apparent idolisation of her.
They say, ‘Kim was actually quite flattered when Bianca first started copying her, even if it was a little creepy to a lot of the folks close to her. She figured Kanye was behind it and up to his usual mind games, trying to get a rise out of people including her, but it didn’t come across as dark or overly malicious.
‘She chose instead to take it as a compliment, since Bianca’s a beautiful young lady with a killer body, after all. Kim believed it was just a phase, that there was no way Bianca would keep this going for any serious length of time.’
But now the source says that, as the ‘truth’ about Bianca has slowly begun to emerge, Kim is concerned that Bianca won’t stop her relentless pursuit to ‘become her’.
‘She’s worked so hard to get where she is today, her image is crucial to her success and it really annoys her to have this impostor essentially mimicking her 24/7,’ the source says.
‘Then there’s the fact that Bianca is the stepmother to her kids and it’s even more uncomfortable and difficult for Kim to process. She’s thinking seriously about exploring her legal options and issuing some type of cease and desist to Bianca, but her friends are saying that’s a bad idea because it will only feed into her and Kanye’s attention seeking.
They add, ‘Kim knows her best path here is to tough it out and wait for Bianca to slide into the wilderness, once her and Kanye inevitably go their separate ways. For her that day can’t come soon enough!’
