Ye Boasts That He & Wife Bianca Censori ‘Beat’ the Grammys With Red-Carpet Stunt

Ye says he and his wife Bianca Censori one-upped the Grammys.

In since-deleted Instagram posts, Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) shared a screenshot of Google stats that show Censori was searched more than the awards show itself. He then followed that up with a post proclaiming, “We beat the Grammies [sic]” and another saying, “For clarity. February 4th 2025. My wife is the most Googled person on the planet called Earth.”

Censori wore a controversial, transparent dress under a floor-length fur coat during her red-carpet appearance alongside her husband, causing rumors to swirl that the couple was escorted out of the venue because of it. However, Variety reported that a source close to the Grammys said “it’s not true” and that Ye and his wife “walked the carpet, got in his car and left.”

Ye blamed journalist Don Lemon for starting said rumors, writing in a since-deleted Instagram post, “This the goofball that started the rumor that me and my wife got kicked out of the Grammies 3 decades of innovating music and they always KOONS like this.”

But the former CNN host hit back, claiming someone from Ye’s team heard the rumors and asked Lemon to set the record straight. “I did not start a rumor about you being kicked out of the Grammys,” Lemon said in a video posted to Instagram. “I actually corrected it. I saw someone on your team who asked me to correct it because it had been reported everywhere.”

He added: “So first of all, get your sh– straight. And you, of all people, calling me a coon. Negro, that Make America Great Again hat must be too tight on your head.”

Ye has since posted a picture of the dress in question on his Instagram feed with a caption that reads: “THE INVISIBLE DRESS.”

Ye’s song “Carnival” with Ty Dolla $ign, Playboi Carti and Rich the Kid was nominated for best rap song at Sunday’s awards show but lost to Kendrick Lamar‘s “Not Like Us.”
