Kanye West’s Aussie wife Bianca Censori ‘laid the smackdown’ before his shock apology

Bianca Censori, who wed the controversial rapper late last year, reportedly “laid the smackdown” before his shock social media apology.

Kanye West apologises after anti-Semitic remarks

Kanye West’s unexpected apology to the Jewish community after a series of vile anti-Semitic tirades came after a furious “smackdown” by his Australian wife, according to a new report.

The controversial musician, 46, posted an apology on social media on Tuesday, expressing regret for his offensive “outbursts”, including an anti-Semitic rap and praise of Hitler during a performance in Las Vegas in early December.

“I sincerely apologise to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions, it was not my intention to hurt or disrespect, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused,” read West’s message, which was written in Hebrew.

“I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future.”

It marked an abrupt attitude U-turn for the rapper, who has been embroiled in increasingly erratic and offensive anti-Semitic behaviour in recent years, culminating in this month’s vile display in Sin City.

“It’s 60 million of us in America, 60 million Jews in the world,” he falsely screamed in a video, obtained by TMZ.

“Who’s going to make the hospitals, though? He’s a Zionist, Trump. This is what I’ve been trying to tell you. Jesus Christ, Hitler, Ye, third party, sponsor that.”

According to the Daily Mail, his apology, which came just weeks later, was prompted by a stern warning from his 28-year-old wife, Bianca Censori, who reportedly “laid the smackdown on him” and told him he was putting them in danger with his outbursts.

“Bianca was tired of having to babysit Kanye,” a source told the publication.

“She told him that his recent behaviour was unacceptable and that he needs to apologise because he was putting them in danger and setting a horrible example for his children.

“Bianca is really sick of his attention seeking and she knows that this is not who he truly is, but it is making her look like she is anti-Semitic, which is so far from the truth.

“She has many Jewish friends who she loves dearly and he knows this.”

The insider added that most of his troubling behaviour occurs when she is not around – which they claim is a deliberate choice by West.

The insider added: “It is very upsetting to Bianca and he does it anyway. He just waits until she is gone. By the time that she finds out what he’s done and said, it is too late.

“And now it’s at the point where she is starting to fear for her safety – not because of Kanye hurting her or anything like that. It is more like she fears that a Jewish extremist could potentially do something to hurt both of them.”
