LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: An intense argument ensued between rapper Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori after Censori cautioned him against including antisemitic lyrics during a listening event for his new album.

The altercation reportedly led to Censori's absence from West's subsequent New York event and after-party.

Sources close to the couple revealed that tensions escalated when the livestream of West's performance at Chicago's United Center abruptly ended after he sang lyrics containing antisemitic references.

Censori, 29, had advised West against using such controversial lyrics from his new album 'Vultures,' leading her to opt out of accompanying him to events in New York.

Concerns have been raised among Censori's friends regarding West's purported exploitation of her to promote his divisive new record. According to insiders, Censori's role in West's album promotion, including featuring on the album cover and modeling his clothing line, has raised suspicions that she is being used for free promotion.

"Their argument Friday was because Kanye lost it when they cut off his song at the listening event the night before, due to his unacceptable lyrics," a source close to Bianca told DailyMail.com exclusively.

"Bianca was trying to say that he should not include another anti-Jewish lyric – especially after the backlash he got in Dubai when the album's first antisemitic lyric surfaced."

They continued: "Kanye has been taking out all of his frustrations over this on Bianca because he, literally, has no one else that wants to listen to his crap."

"He is using her for free promotion, putting her on the cover of his album, using her as a model for the clothing and she is allowing him to have this control. She has literally become a prop, like a remote-control doll, that he can get to do anything he wants."

During West's official listening event at UBS Arena in New York City, Censori was notably absent. Reports suggest that West arrived late and in a sour mood, wearing a full face mask, and departed after a mere 10 minutes, leaving organizers frustrated and disappointed.

West faced backlash for his use of anti-Semitic lyrics during a previous event in Dubai, where he sang offensive lines like "How am I anti-Semitic? I just f****d a Jewish b***h."

Censori reportedly urged West to apologize to the Jewish community, expressing concern that his behavior could endanger them and set a negative example for their children.

Censori is said to fear for her safety, not due to any direct threat from West, but because of potential backlash from extremist groups. She is reportedly distressed by West's actions and feels misrepresented as anti-Semitic, despite having close Jewish friends.

Rapper Kanye West has once again ignited controversy, this time drawing the ire of Taylor Swift's fanbase with explicit references to the pop icon in his latest track, 'Carnival,' from the album 'Vultures Volume 1.'

According to reports from the Daily Mail, Kanye West is facing backlash for his contentious lyrics in the track 'Carnival,' where he makes explicit references to Taylor Swift.

Lines such as "I made six Taylor Swift" have incited anger among fans, with many interpreting Kanye's mention of the 'Lover' singer as disrespectful and unnecessary.

The explicit lyrics have led to speculation on social media, with some suggesting that Kanye's continued references to Taylor Swift indicate an ongoing 'obsession' with the pop star. There are even speculations that Kanye may be deliberately reigniting past conflicts with Swift through his music.

This latest controversy comes on the heels of calls from online users for Kanye to reconsider his music career. Recently, he took to Instagram seeking assistance in booking arenas for his upcoming tour, citing difficulties in securing venues partly due to backlash stemming from previous anti-Semitic remarks.

Further adding to the scrutiny on Kanye, images surfaced of his wife, Bianca Censori, nearly nude in public, wearing only a transparent raincoat and knee-high black boots. This sparked distress among Censori's parents and fueled additional criticism of Kanye for his handling of the situation.

The latest uproar over Kanye West's explicit lyrics involving Taylor Swift underscores the ongoing controversies surrounding the rapper's behavior and the impact it has on public perception.
