Kanye West posts cryptic message about ‘coercion’ amid Bianca Censori split rumors
On Thursday, February 13, Kanye West briefly posted and then swiftly removed a screenshot from Google AI Overview defining "coercion" and questioning its legality.
Before it was taken down, Daily Mail managed to capture West’s post, which emphasized the illegality of coercion. The screenshot detailed various forms of coercion, including psychological abuse, extortion, blackmail, and physical harm.
“Yes, coercion is illegal,” the AI-generated explanation stated, listing offenses such as “physical harm, psychological abuse, extortion, blackmail, or assault.”
The timing of the upload, coupled with West’s vague caption "Is the coercion," immediately fueled speculation about the state of his marriage. The rumors have now been dismissed.
Kanye West and Bianca Censori divorce rumours
According to reports, Bianca Censori who married West in December 2022 is set to receive a $5 million settlement once the split is finalized. Both she and the rapper have allegedly lawyered up, with sources claiming they are actively working through divorce proceedings.
The rumored breakup comes just weeks after their controversial appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards, where Censori wore a sheer outfit that left little to the imagination. Eyewitnesses described her as visibly uncomfortable, sparking online debates about whether she was truly in control of her choices.
West has previously made bold claims about his control over Censori, telling fans in a recent post that has been deleted now, "I have dominion over my wife. This ain't no woke as feminist s**t. She's with a billionaire. Why would she listen to any of you dumb a*s broke b*****s."
He also dismissed speculation that her provocative Grammy look was her own decision, adding, "People say the red carpet look was her decision. Yes, I don't make her do nothing she doesn't want to but she definitely wouldn't have been able to do it without my approval you stupid a*s woke pawns."
West appeared to be alluding to the now-infamous moment when Censori shed her fur coat, revealing a barely-there, sheer outfit that left little to the imagination as they posed for photographers on the Grammys red carpet.
The couple made a swift exit following their headline-grabbing stunt, sparking reactions from onlookers who couldn’t help but comment on how uneasy Censori seemed throughout the spectacle.
Social media personality Riley Mae Lewis described the incident to OK! as one of the most bizarre moments in Grammy history. "When Kanye and Bianca walked the red carpet at the event, it definitely seemed like she didn’t want to be there. It was the topic of the night, it was so absurd, not one person wasn’t talking about how uncomfortable she looked."

Rumors of an impending split between Kanye West and Bianca Censori have been swirling, but the couple’s longtime representative, Milo Yiannopoulos, has firmly dismissed the claims.
In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Yiannopoulos made it clear that there is no divorce on the horizon for the pair, who wed in December 2022. He also gave fans a rare insight into their upcoming plans, saying, “Ye and Bianca are in Los Angeles, about to enjoy Valentine’s Day together.”
Yiannopoulos didn’t hold back when addressing the recurring breakup rumors, calling out the media’s habit of spreading false stories about the couple’s marriage.
"Announcements about their private life will come from them directly, not unsourced rumors in the tabloid press. Is this the fifth or is it the sixth time the press has wrongly reported that Ye and Bianca are separating? I've lost track," he quipped.
