Kanye blows up at reporter when asked if Censori has ‘free will’

Footage shows Kanye West snatching a phone from a reporter and going on a rant after she asked him about a bizarre “ban” he’d placed on his Melbourne wife, Bianca Censori.

Kanye West has lashed out at a reporter for asking a question about whether his Melbourne wife has “free will” before snatching her phone and going on an unhinged rant.

The reporter from TMZ asked West, who was on his way to Hollywood Blvd for Charlie Wilson’s Walk of Fame ceremony, about several reports claiming he’s “controlling” his wife, Bianca Censori, and banning her from social media.

It immediately set West off as he snatched her phone and started berating her over the question.

“What you think you’re a white woman who can walk up on me like that, ask me some dumb-ass shit like that, ask me about my wife talking about if she has free will. Are you crazy?” he yelled.

“You asked whether my wife has free will, what a dumb-ass stupid question to come ask a grown-ass superhero.

“I’m a legend. You dumb-ass piece of shit asking about my wife. That’s my wife.”

When the reporter asks for her phone back, he proceeds to ask for the reporter’s “first and last name and address”.

Kanye West has reportedly banned Censori from using social media for her own “protection.”

The rapper is said to be keeping Censori from interacting with others on social media platforms in a bid to avoid negative comments, however sources close to the pair tell Daily Mail it’s a way of further “isolating” her from reality.

“Bianca has always had social media and she was active on it — until she married Kanye,” an insider told the outlet.

“He doesn’t want her to have it because he thinks that it will hurt her if she had to read the nasty things that people say.

“He convinced her that, since she is a star now, she has to remain a mystery and it is creepy to those who know her as it feels like another form of control.”

It’s said that Censori’s friends claim she needs protection after the rapper found himself in hot water for posting outrageously explicit photos of her on his own social media account.

It’s previously been reported that people close to Censori have been worried about her for months.

“Bianca is stuck, and her friends are trying to save her, but no one can because of the blockades Kanye has put up (around her),” a source told the Daily Mail in September last year.

Earlier this month, West was accused of brainwashing Censori after sharing a revealing photo of her while cooking in the kitchen.

“Cream of wheat,” the father of four, 46, captioned a photo on Instagram of his wife wearing only a leather face mask, black boots and a risqué swimsuit that fully showcased her behind.
