Kanye West appeared to taunt ex Kim Kardashian over wife Bianca Censori’s naked stunt at the 2025 Grammys this week.
The rapper, 47, and Censori, 30, sparked worldwide outrage after she revealed her entire nude body under a sheer dress on the red carpet – before unceremoniously leaving the ceremony amid rumors they were kicked out.
West took to Instagram to make the bold claim that Censori had become ‘the most Googled person on earth’ after her striptease, 10 years after Kardashian, 44, ‘broke the internet’ with her naked Paper cover.
He wrote: ‘For clarity, February 4 2025 my wife is the most googled person on the planet called earth.
The star followed up with ‘we beat the Grammies’ and a selection of Google Trends posts showing search for Censori demolished searches for ‘Grammy winners 2025.’
Kardashian famously posed completely naked for the 2014 Paper cover and was Bing’s most searched person that year and Google’s second, behind Jennifer Lawrence.

She even quipped about being the ‘most Googled person this week’ during a past episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
In 2015 she was the most searched person in the world in 26 countries.
Back in 2022 West’s ex Julia Fox claimed the rapper encouraged her to reveal details about their relationship – as he endeavored to get Kardashian back amid source claims he wanted to make her ‘jealous.’
In an unearthed Instagram comment captured by HollywoodUnlocked, a fan had blasted Fox in a comment telling her: ‘You talked about the man in the press like you all were married. Just desperate for the attention. Wasn’t even 15mins, maybe like 2 mins of fame.
But Fox fired back at the troll, writing: ‘He f***ing wanted me to!!!!’
After West and Fox struck up a romance at the beginning of the year, sources claimed it was a ploy to make his ex ‘jealous.’
‘Kanye is trying to make Kim jealous by being very public with Julia,’ one source claimed to Entertainment Tonight.
‘He is trying to make a point. Julia thinks Kanye is really cool and is also just enjoying the ride while it lasts.’
However, things imploded between Fox and West just as the rapper began to publicly declare his wish to one day reunite with his estranged wife.

He also made threats to Kardashian’s new boyfriend Pete Davidson and then sent her roses to her LA home, despite her filing for divorce from West last year.
Meanwhile, Fox confirmed her split with Ye in an Instagram post on Monday.
‘Y’all would love if I was soooo upset! The media would love to paint a picture of me a sad lonely woman crying on a plane by myself but it’s NOT TRUE!!’ Julia told fans in a note on Monday.
West and Censori were hit by rumors they were ‘escorted out’ of the 2025 Grammys Sunday ‘by police’ after her naked red carpet stunt shocked the world.
The designer who has previously shocked with risque displays , bared it all in a completely see-through nude mesh dress, worn without underwear – much to the shock of social media and onlookers.
Bianca exuded confidence as she headed to the carpet clad in a furry coat, before theatrically dropping the garment and flashing her bare derriere to photographers.
She turned around to show off her topless chest and lack of underwear while West – nominated in the Best Rap Song category – leered at her nude body during the incident of indecent exposure.
It was reported the pair were asked to leave the event after turning up uninvited, and escorted out by cops after their ‘crazy stunt.’ However another source said they ‘left of their own accord’ and the exact narrative remains unclear.
Kanye has hit out at outrage to the stunt as he dismissed the ceremony as ‘boring’ and called Bianca’s outfit ‘art’.
‘People have called this a stunt but to Ye this is his art,’ a source told The Sun.
‘He turned up, made headlines around the world and left. No one told him what to do and even if they had, he wouldn’t have listened.
‘Ye always planned to do the red carpet and leave — he’d never sit through the Grammys because it’s so dull and boring.’
West was seen issuing commands to Censori. A lip reader, Nicola Hickling, says that he told Censori, wearing a black fur coat over a mesh ensemble with no underwear: ‘You’re making a scene now.’
She nodded her head and he told her: ‘Make a scene, I’ll say it’ll make so much sense.’ He added: ‘Drop it behind you and then turn, I got you.’ She then tells him: ‘Alright, let’s go.’
The star paired this with a nude heels and a touch of make-up. In contrast, West, 47, donned a demure black outfit and shades.
Music industry insiders were also questioning if his swift exit was down to his feud with Taylor Swift.
The stunt is said to have lost Kanye a $20 million deal to play in Japan, according to sources in Tokyo.
West had signed up to do two shows at the Tokyo Dome in May, but following the naked stunt on the red carpet of the Grammys on Sunday night with his wife Bianca Censori, his investors have taken fright.
A source said: ‘Kanye is just ****ing up every opportunity that comes to him. The stunt was creepy beyond belief and has been greeted with horror in Japan.’
He added: ‘Japan is having a cultural awakening about women’s rights and the MeToo movement is really strong here. What he did is being seen as an act of coercive control which is utterly unacceptable. He has completely culturally misjudged Japan.’

This is unfortunate as he has been living in a hotel in Tokyo for most of the last year.
West and Censori left the event soon after the red carpet walk, and were pictured getting into a waiting limo.
A source said: ‘The investors in Japan who are backing the concerts are extremely upset by this. It is highly likely that they will pull the funding for the shows.
‘He has greatly misjudged the tolerance of the Japanese people towards these activities. He’s just not welcome any more. This will be a big blow for him because he has been living in Japan for around a year now, almost full time, and I guess he did not see this coming.’
There have been increasing calls for Kanye and his wife Bianca to be barred from future red carpet events.
Following the incident, many fans expressed their disapproval on social media and called for Kanye — who reportedly lost a $20million deal following the stunt — and his wife to be banned from future events.
On Monday, The View’s host Alyssa Farah Griffin, 35, shared a similar sentiment, calling the moment a ‘low’ point, and stating that she didn’t want Kanye or his wife on red carpets.
‘I don’t even want to dignify this other than to say: Kanye West, I don’t want to see him on red carpets anymore,’ she stated.
‘I hope that his partner is OK, because that whole thing was very uncomfortable, I think, for most women, to watch, and I just — I don’t want to see it or hear from it any further.’
She was not the only celebrity to publicly express her distaste at the X-rated stunt.
Former View co-host Meghan McCain shared in a since-deleted post on X, ‘I just want and have wanted for years — for Kanye West to leave us all the hell alone. He’s a repugnant, vile piece of garbage and his wife looks like a victim and a hostage.’
Her representative later told Entertainment Weekly that McCain deleted the post on ‘accident’ and that she still thinks West is a ‘vile pig.’
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy also slammed the shocking red carpet moment.
He took to X, sharing a photo of Kanye and Bianca from the red carpet, writing in the caption, ‘I hate Kayne [sic] so much.’
Fans took to social media to brand the display ‘disturbing’ and say Censori should be ‘kicked out’ of the event.
They wrote: ‘Bianca Censori needs to be saved from that man. This is really disturbing,’; ‘No way bianca censori just showed up to the grammies like that she is deadass naked,’;
‘It’s shocking but also so sad. that’s someone’s daughter that he’s brainwashed,’; ‘This just isn’t appropriate,’;
‘This can’t be real,’; ‘Somebody should censori her and kanye,’; ‘Her eyes are screaming help…,’;
‘She needs to just put all that away… i’m all for women and empowering bodies and stuff but like, bruh this???’;
‘Is this woman genuinely okay she looked so uncomfortable taking her that coat off in the video on the carpet,’;
‘Aren’t there laws against this sort of thing???’; ‘She’s being held hostage.’
Not content with garnering the world’s attention on the red carpet, West dropped an advert for his Yeezy clothing brand on select broadcasts of the show.
The clip showed T-shirts, shoes and sweaters priced at as little as $20 an item. There was also merchandise with the title of the rapper’s new album, Bully, on.
