If you thought edible undies were something safely locked away in your memory of the most inappropriate secret Santa gifts, you wouldn’t be alone.
However, in what has been called their ‘sweetest publicity stunt’ yet, Kanye West emerged last week alongside his wife Bianca Censori, who was barely clad in a bikini made entirely of sweets.
Her latest ‘naked stunt’ is just the latest of many following her ‘reunion’ with Kanye, 48, last month after what is believed to have been a temporary split, but questions over the autonomy Bianca, 30, has over her own body have continued to swirl.
In a post that was later taken down, Kanye’s close pal 50 Cent took to social media to post a degrading and humiliating comment about Bianca’s outfit, in which he described her as ‘ye dirty little wife’ before adding, ‘LOL is she gonna be a victim later’.
Not only does 50 Cent mock a culture of rape here, but also pulls into debate the question everyone continues to ask: Is Bianca just ‘Kanye’s wife?’ and why does she continue to let Kanye ‘humiliate' her?
But now a source tells Heat that Bianca’s PDN’s (Public Displays of Nudity) are not as one-sided as we have been led to believe. The truth, they reveal, is that the controversial couple’s two-year marriage is hanging on by a thread amidst Bianca’s growing frustration that Kanye has not made her into a ‘star’ in her own right.
The insider says, ‘He promised her the world when they first got together. He told her he was going to turn her into this global fashion icon.
‘But so far it’s been a whole lot of talk and very little action. He hasn’t built collections around her like he promised or gotten her any huge fashion magazine covers - it’s been a massive disappointment, especially because she’s done everything he asked of her.
‘He demanded that she trust his ‘vision’ 100 percent and he’s used that to get her to do some really humiliating things.’
Last month Bianca may have dropped her biggest hint yet as her continued evolution into Kanye’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian appeared to ramp up when she was photographed with a new brunette wig almost identical to the KUWTK star’s raven waves.
We recently reported how lingerie and beauty entrepreneur Kim – who has an estimated net worth of $1.7 billion dollars – has become increasingly ‘creeped out’ by Bianca ‘stealing her look’, and now the source reveals that her ‘Kim 2.0’ vibe is entirely intentional as the budding architect hungers after Kim's level of success.
They tell us, ‘Kanye obviously did a whole lot for Kim’s image and reputation when they were together. He helped her transform from just another reality star to a Vogue cover girl, so Bianca had every reason to believe he could do the same for her.’
But now over two years into their relationship and 50 Cent’s heinous comments last week serve as a stark reminder that Bianca has instead become deeper embroiled in Kanye’s ‘chaos’ and is, even for one of her husband’s friends, seen as his ‘plaything’.
And the source says she’s had enough, adding, ‘Bianca has gone along with everything he’s asked and she has nothing to show for it. She’s told him straight up that things need to change.
‘He needs to stop all the showmanship and put some real effort into launching her career. She’s made it clear that if he can’t back up his words with action, she’s out.'
In February, Kanye’s apparent obsession with prompting public outrage reached disturbing new heights when the couple attended the Grammys. Walking the red carpet, the rapper instructed Bianca 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 almost invisible to the eye.
Kanye, of course, duly got the attention he desired, declaring his wife as ‘the most Googled person on Earth’. But questions over whether Bianca was being manipulated by Kanye continued, with critics calling the stunt a ‘humiliation ritual’.
However, just days later, 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...I HAVE HIT WOMEN BEFORE.’
Now the source reveals to heat that navigating Kanye’s increasingly erratic behaviour hadn’t been part of the plan for Bianca, a Master’s graduate, who has now warned Kanye that he needs to ‘step up’ or step out.
The source says, ‘Bianca is an extremely ambitious character, she didn’t get into this just for cheap social media clicks or to be known as Kanye’s expensive arm candy. She's highly ambitious and well-educated and she’s looking to build a career in her own right and reach the top.
‘She worked with Kanye for years [as an architect for his Yeezy brand] and witnessed his achievements first hand. She truly believed he was a genius who could make it rain. She still does to a large degree, but he needs to step up and prove it now instead of running his mouth off and making all these big promises that aren’t coming into fruition.’
Bianca’s stark warning comes as Kanye was banned from her home country of Australia last week after the government opted to strip him of his visa over his anti-sematic song, ‘Heil Hitler’.
The ban comes just months after the rapper was also dropped from his talent agency in February and banned from selling his Yeezy line on Shopify after advertising a t-shirt brandishing a Nazi swastika.
And the source says it hasn’t escaped Bianca that her husband is becoming untouchable in the worst possible way.
‘It’s dawning on Bianca that Kanye’s radioactive right now to a lot of people, so she’s concerned that this has left all her hopes and dreams hanging by a thread,’ the insider tells us.
‘She’s getting nowhere with all these over the top nude stunts that are turning her into a laughing stock - that’s incredibly frustrating, to say the least.
‘Kanye keeps telling her to trust his genius, he gets very irritated if she questions him or tries to push back on some of his ideas. But Bianca’s at breaking point, she’s made it very clear it can’t go on like this much longer.’
