Kanye West snatches paparazzis phone and yells when Bianca Censori questioned

Kanye West has recently been in the midst of an intense argument with paparazzi, which arose after he snatched away his phone from one of the photographers that asked him about his engagement to Bianca Censori. Reports the previous day had reached that the rapper had reportedly blacklisted his wife from using social media, with claims it was for her “protection,” and he was supposedly isolating her.

In an incident video-recorded and caught heading to Charlie Wilson’s Walk of Fame ceremony, the rapper quickly moved to reach and address the photographer in question, asking about controlling Censori. In a heated moment, he wrested the phone until the screen went blank as he expressed his discontent at the line of questioning.

The photographer tried to talk to Censori’s free will, thereby raising West’s defence by saying, “I’m a legend; I’m here supporting Charlie Wilson, and you come ask me some dumbass s—t about my wife. That’s my wife.”

The exchange continued with West asking about the reporter’s job and telling her to quit, as she would double her salary. Reports have been rife that the rapper has been controlling Censori and limiting her use of social media to ensure she remains mysterious—something many haven’t taken lightly.

While the rapper and Censori teamed up to make news in a recent country, there are lingering questions about how the relationship between them works and how much of it is controlled by the West. The paparazzi situation helped show some of the interesting dynamics of their public existence and the way that the rapper tries to help guard his wife’s privacy.
