Kanye West, Wife Bianca Censori ‘Taking Break After Friends’ Intervention – Report

Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, are reportedly “taking a break” following her friends’ purported intervention.

The couple, who wed in December 2022, has been spending time apart since mid-October, according to the US Sun.

“Her family has never been a fan of Ye, and those close to her have questioned whether marrying him was the right decision,” a source told the outlet Friday.

“He is a very difficult person to be around and work for, and Bianca has been one of the most patient people ever to deal with him. She’s been all about Ye.”

The source noted that although the rapper “has been a lot happier and more focused with her around,” their relationship seems to have “taken its toll on her a bit with everyone having their opinion.”

West, 46 — who is currently holed up at a luxury complex-turned-recording studio in Saudi Arabia — is reportedly laser-focused on making new music with Ty Dollar $ign and therefore “not that worried” about the status of his marriage.

“[Censori] may go back to him for the album launch — she loves the lifestyle — but I think it’s clear her family and friends would rather she didn’t,” the source claimed, adding that the Grammy winner’s biggest concern at the moment is “finding distribution after losing so many connections due to his antisemitic remarks last year.”

Reps for West and Censori did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

Earlier this month, the Yeezy founder traveled to the Middle East while Censori, 28 — who works as an architect for the fashion company — visited two longtime pals in her homeland of Australia, where her Kardashian-lookalike family still lives.

“Her friends let her know exactly how they feel, and they told her that she needs to wake the f–k up,” a source told the Daily Mail earlier this week, going on to say that Censori’s loved ones were finally “able to get through to her.”

“She knows that she has shut out those close to her, and she is also starting to see through the smoky mirrors of her marriage,” the source continued, adding that she is both “aware of Kanye’s controlling ways” and “starting to see things from an outside perspective.”

In fact, Censori purportedly “chose to go home after it was made clear to her” that West would not be including her in his latest trip.

Reports have recently surfaced that her close circle has grown “extremely concerned” about her, with sources claiming that she is “stuck” because of “the blockades Kanye has put up [around her].”

The musician reportedly “has a set of rules for Bianca,” which allegedly includes “never speak,” “wear what he wants her to wear,” “eat certain food items” and “work out even though Kanye doesn’t work out.”

Initially, Censori was reportedly not “interested in talking” or listening to “anyone’s concerns for her.”

‘There Was No Blueprint For Me’ – Wizkid Claims

Nigerian singer Wizkid has sparked controversy after claiming that he had no blueprint while coming up as an artist, despite having emerged through ace singer Banky W’s imprint.

The Ojuelegba crooner made the statement in a snippet of his upcoming HBO documentary Long Live Lagos.

“There was no blueprint for me. I had to build a structure for myself,” he claimed.

His comment sparked debate on social media, with many insisting that it not only downplayed Banky W’s impact on his career but also disrespected the great Nigerian musicians who paved the way for the new generation of artists.

Wizkid, however, admitted elsewhere in the documentary that Fela Kuti inspired him to pursue music.

“Fela Kuti was instrumental to why I believe I could really make music,” he said.

Some of the reactions on X include:

Franko_Nero wrote: “I still vividly remember the day that Bankole [Banky W] announced on a show that he wants to introduce a boy wonder, a germ in the making. Today, this ungrateful child is claiming otherwise. If Banky knew that today would come, I am sure he would have chased him far away.”

Arhcent said: “This guy is erasing the role Banky W and EME played in his career. The person Banky picked from school into the studio is saying ‘I had to build a structure for myself.’ God sees all.”

Duke of Isoko wrote: “If he never built a structure, Banky probably wouldn’t have noticed him. This dude came out with his own style of music, dressing sense, etc., but I understand that English is a problem in this place.”

Sir Dickson opined: “People are debating this with reference to Banky’s impact in his life. There is no real context to that. I believe he was speaking about his style of music. He reinvented himself. Wiz has never denied Banky’s impact, nor can he. Let’s calm down.”

Olamide responded: “Shy is when you don’t have the confidence and the charisma to stand people or look them in the eye or have conversations with them.

Why I Stopped Going To Church – Actress Ariyiike Dimples

Nigerian actress and media personality, Ariyike Owolagba, popularly known as Ariyiike Dimples, has revealed why she stopped attending church.

Featuring in a recent episode of the Open Up podcast, the movie star shared that she stopped going to church for three years after a church elder questioned her fashion sense.

She stated that the elder told her she would go to hell for wearing a pencil skirt to church, which the elder considered indecent.

The actress said she was frustrated by the experience and quit church.

“In my community church, you see only elderly people. You barely see the young ones. The young ones have gone to other churches. It was too serious. Yes, you can have your doctrines, but there is a way you can simplify it for young people and take them in without judging them.

“The reason I stopped going to church was because I wore a pencil skirt to church and an elderly woman said I will go to hell fire. I was shocked and felt wrongly judged so I stopped going to church for 3 years. And thankfully, I was already out of my parents’ house.

“The woman reported me to my dad. I had to take picture of the skirt and send to my mum to prove that I wasn’t dressing indecently. But my dad believed in the ideology of a community raising a child. So, I chose to avoid the community church so that they won’t see me,” she recalled.

Ariyiike Dimples, however, added that she is still a practicing Christian despite quitting church.
