Kanye West and his Australian wife Bianca Censori continue to defy rumours of a split, stepping out together amid allegations he’s preventing her from working.
The controversial rapper, 47, shared a photo of himself with his scantily clad other half, 30, to X with the caption “fit pic”.
Censori, an architect, is wearing a strapless silver body-suit and a pair of thigh-high leather boots, looking away from the camera with her hair up.
West stands behind her, wearing all black.
The duo have not been seen out together in months, after making headlines at the Grammys in February when Censori shocked onlookers with a completely sheer dress.
It’s not clear where the latest photo was snapped, however, they were also spotted last week arriving at an Indian restaurant in Spain’s Balearic Islands.
The appearances come amid news West is preventing Censori from accepting lucrative brand deals or starting her own media career, straining their marriage.
The US Sun reports Censori is “very frustrated” by West’s opposition, as she is eager to work independently and earn her own money in the fashion world.
“She knows she could make tons of money,” a source told the US Sun.
“She wants to explore opportunities as a model, brand ambassador, and a talented individual - not just someone living in the shadow of her husband. But Kanye keeps shutting her down.”
“She sees millions and millions of dollars slipping away, and that’s adding to the tension in their marriage,” said another source close to the couple.
“She feels frustrated because Kanye won’t let her accept these deals or build her own brand.”
West still reportedly considers himself a billionaire despite a series of failed businesses and property investments and is planning to purchase a fleet of private jets.
The rapper’s finances also suffered a setback when he lost his sponsorship deal with Adidas.
In May 2023, reports revealed that the German shoe brand filed legal action, successfully freezing $US75 million ($A117 million) in bank accounts associated with the Yeezy brand.
On top of that, influential political and industrial figures have reportedly been working to undermine West’s business ventures in response to his controversial social media outbursts.
It’s easy to see why Censori is eager to capitalise on her potential.
“She misses being active,” said another source.
“She keeps pushing for more independence, but he always says no, and she won’t accept a deal without his approval.”
