Kanye West recently took to Instagram to showcase his wife, Bianca Censori, in a series of risqué photos, suggesting his apparent approval of her being “overly sexualized.”
The controversial rapper, who tied the knot with Censori in December 2022, shared a set of daring images featuring the Australian fashion designer in a black bikini that left little to the imagination.
The first photo, a mirror selfie with West in the background and Censori in the foreground, displayed her donning a micro top paired with a leather corset bottom, a long trench coat, and calf-high heeled boots.
The second image portrayed Censori in a solo shot within a marble bathroom, prompting West to playfully inquire, “Dropped sumn?”
The third snap featured Censori in a black micro thong and a tiny fuzzy pink bandeau, accompanied by West’s caption.
“No pants this year,” he typed.
While some social media users expressed criticism, deeming the posts as “gross” and “a mess,” others accused West of attempting to transform Censori into a version of his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.
“Rebound Kim,” were the thoughts of one fan.
“He’s creating the new @kimkardashian,” added another.
Interestingly, this move by West stirred conversations about his past comments on Kardashian’s public image. Notably, in October, West expressed his reservations about the imagery associated with Skims, Kardashian’s line of intimates and apparel.
He raised concerns about the overt sexualization in the campaigns and admitted discomfort with the portrayal of his wife and daughters.
This echoed his previous criticisms of Kardashian’s 2019 Met Gala look, where he deemed her “too sexy” in a tight corset by Thierry Mugler.
In an episode of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” West acknowledged the impact of his past mentality, expressing regret for pushing Kardashian to conform to certain beauty standards
Kardashian, in turn, reminded West that he played a role in building her confidence and transforming her into the “sexy person” he desired.
The ongoing narrative surrounding West’s views on the sexualization of his partners sheds light on the complexities within his relationships and the evolving dynamics with those close to him.
