Kanye West, a 46-year-old rapper and fashion mogul, has caused controversy with recent Instagram posts featuring his wife, Bianca Censori. The posts showcased Censori, whom he married in December 2022, modeling a revealing black swimsuit.
The first photo showed West in the background with Censori in the foreground wearing a small bikini top paired with a leather waist corset, a trench coat, and high-heeled boots. The second photo featured Censori alone in a marbled bathroom, and the third showed her in a black minimal thong and fuzzy pink bandeau.
Although West didn’t provide any caption for the first photo, he captioned the second image with “Dropped sumn?” and the third with “No pants this year.” The posts have sparked criticism on social media, with many users disapproving of the images and drawing comparisons between Censori and West’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.

This is not the first time West has been involved in public debates about the portrayal of women. He has previously expressed concerns about the imagery used in Kardashian’s lingerie and clothing line, as well as her public appearances. West has voiced unease about what he perceives as overly sexualized imagery, citing his role as a husband and father as influencing his views.
Kardashian, who shares four children with West, has previously spoken about how he has helped boost her confidence and identity through her public persona.
