Update: According to new TMZ sources, Kayne West and Bianca Censori were not kicked out of the 2025 Grammys, despite several reports claiming otherwise. An insider close to the Recording Academy told TMZ that Kanye (who was nominated for Best Rap Song for “Carnival”) was “an invited guest” and “wasn’t forcibly removed from the event,” adding that he “walked the red carpet, got in his car of his own volition, and then left… Police and Grammys security never got involved.”

Both People and E! News weighed in on the rumors as well, saying Kanye and his wife were not explicitly kicked out and simply walked the red carpet before getting into a car and leaving. Meanwhile, Us Weekly spoke to a source who said the couple departed “on their own accord,” and Page Six spoke to an insider who said, “He walked the red carpet and then got in his car and left.”

Original story: Kanye West and Bianca Censori showed up at the 2025 Grammy Awards, hitting the red carpet and taking several photos together before reportedly being escorted out of the ceremony.

Entertainment Tonight reports the couple was “uninvited” and asked to leave shortly after their arrival, writing in an Instagram post, “ET has learned that the rapper, his wife, and an entourage of about five people showed up to the Grammys uninvited. Kanye walked the red carpet with Bianca, who appeared to be fully naked under her fur coat. ET was told that the couple was then escorted out of the awards show.”

Kanye and Bianca’s decision to allegedly crash the Grammys was unexpected, and so far they haven’t released a public statement about why they showed up or how they feel about being asked to leave. It’s also unclear if they interacted with any of the other celebrity guests.
