Social media users were left confused on Friday when a tweet that seemed to be from Bianca Censori defended Kanye West following his vile anti-Semitic meltdown.
While the X account claiming to be Bianca was verified with a blue tick, upon closer inspection it has been revealed that the profile the ‘statement’ came from is fake.
The bio describes the account as ‘thoughts inspired by Bianca Censori’ and Bianca’s representative also confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that it does not belong to the Aussie architect.
The tweet, which quickly picked up traction online, read: ‘It’s truly saddening to see how people insult & dehumanize my Ye across social media.
‘Despite his outbursts & statements, which may not always be friendly toward Jewish pple, I understand him well because I know him personally.
‘He is simply venting his frustration, as anyone would when pushed to the extreme. He remains a good man, a devoted father, & a loving husband.

However, it was not all as it seemed as the X account the ‘statement’ came from is fake and does not belong to the Aussie architect – despite being verified with a blue tick
It continued: ‘Everyone has their flaws, & he is no exception. Pple should allow him space to breathe.
‘After all, he is only using words, & while his words may sometimes raise concern due to his status, words alone do not define a person’s heart, especially for a rap artist. Respectfully #GodBlessIsrael #GodBlessTheGoodJewishPeople.’
The X account with the username @bianca_censori, features a photo of Bianca as the profile picture and one of Bianca and Kanye as the cover image.
The bio reads: ‘Designer at Yeezy. A perspective from inside the world of Bianca Censori for discussions only. Thoughts inspired by Bianca Censori. Don’t sue me.’
As of Friday, it had a whopping 56,000 followers and racks up hundreds of likes on each post.
Another of the fake tweets, which was posted on Thursday, reads: ‘My Ye has undoubtedly been one of the most polarizing figures in modern culture.
‘He is an artistic genius with undeniable influence, but his public statements have often sparked controversy.
‘People react strongly to his words, sometimes with reason, but the way social media dehumanizes him is excessive.
‘He has always had his reasons for any outbursts, & while I wish I could explain, I do not have the authorization to do so. Perhaps one day, he will choose to share that information himself.’

The account appearing to belong to Kanye’s wife also shocked fans after it shared a photo of the two and a prayer asking God to ‘protect’ the rapper and ‘lead him toward understanding & respect for all people’ earlier this week.
But a representative for Bianca, 30, told The Hollywood Reporter on Sunday night that the account on X (formerly Twitter) was a fake and ‘does not belong to Ye’s wife.’
‘We have reached out to X to get the account unverified and/or banned,’ the representative added.
The fake X post attributed to @bianca_censori featured a photo of the Australian architect–turned–provocateur sitting on a wooden counter or desk while wearing a busty black semi-sheer dress with spaghetti straps, as well as white flip flops.
She was perched just over West’s shoulder as he snapped a mirror selfie across the room while wearing a black T-shirt and matching pants, which he appeared to be grabbing around his crotch area.
So-called ‘blue checkmarks’ on the site formerly known as Twitter were once given to celebrities and high-profile people to verify their identities and help prevent online impersonation, but after the site was bought by Elon Musk — who later renamed it X — the verification badges were turned into a money-making scheme in which users could acquire them by paying for a premium subscription.
A yellow badge to denote celebrities was later instituted on the Musk-owned site, but the ease of getting a blue badge and the number of prominent figures who are no longer verified has made it particularly easy for accounts to impersonate celebrities, although the action is still technically barred by the platform.
It follows the news that Kanye and Bianca are allegedly heading for divorce just 11 days after her naked stunt on the Grammys red carpet.
It’s thought that they have verbally agreed that she will get a payment of $5 million following the short marriage, which began in December 2022.
A source close to the rapper, 47, confirmed that the couple have now broken up and that they expect a legal filing to end the marriage in the coming days.

While some X users have pointed out the account is fake, others have been fooled into believing it’s real and replying to ‘Bianca’s statement’
Bianca is understood to be staying at their $35 million house in Beverly Park North, Los Angeles for now.
It’s not known where Kanye is but some believe he may even head back in the coming days to Tokyo, Japan, where he spent much of last year living in a hotel.
Milo Yiannopoulos, who previously worked with Kanye on his short-lived presidential campaign, issued a denial purportedly on behalf of the couple, stating that West and Censori were in LA and looking forward to spending Valentine’s Day together. It is unclear whether Milo is their official representative.
Bianca appeared plainly unhappy on the red carpet on February 2 when Kanye instructed her to drop her fur coat and ‘make a scene’ but she went along with his instructions.
Friends of Kanye insisted that the stunt was his idea of ‘art’ and also intended to replicate the cover of his album Vultures 2.
The following day he wrote on X: ‘My wife’s first red carpet opened a whole new world. I keep staring at this photo like I was staring in admiration that night Thinking wow I am so lucky to have a wife that is so smart talented brave and hot.’
He went on: ‘She took a break from shooting her first film to make a movie in real life We Tailored that invisible dress 6 times And just like magic poof we disappeared.’
In the days following the Grammys, Kanye went on an anti-Semitic rant on Twitter, saying that he was a Nazi and loved Hitler.

He also took an advertising slot at the Super Bowl for his clothing line, which was reduced to just one item, a $20 t-shirt carrying the Nazi swastika. The site was closed down by Shopify within 24 hours.
He was also banned from X, formerly Twitter, but returned to the site on Thursday having deleted much of his offensive comment. He said that his rants had been a ‘social experiment.’
He stated: ‘So funny how N****** rapping about killing N****** is not hate but posting a swastika is hate.’
His actions have prompted outrage in Hollywood, with Australian actress Isla Fisher and Friends icon David Schwimmer being among those to publicly condemn him.
In an interview earlier this month Kanye said that he had been ‘misdiagnosed’ as bipolar and instead was autistic. He added that he believed that he was a former Emperor of Japan – as did Bianca.
West was previously married to reality TV star and underwear mogul Kim Kardashian and they have four children North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.
