Kanye West claps back at critics over Bianca Censori’s Grammys outfit: “You don’t know my mother....”

Kanye West is not holding back. After days of heated discussions surrounding his wife Bianca Censori’s daring attire at the 2024 Grammy Awards, the rapper has finally broken his silence. After facing numerous backlash from critics who also accused him of influencing her choices, West fired back on social media, shutting down the controversy with his signature unfiltered style.
Censori, 30, turned heads at the Grammys on February 2, making a dramatic entrance in a floor-length black fur coat before shedding it to reveal a sheer dress. The internet immediately exploded with some applauding her fearless fashion statement while others questioned whether she was being pressured into the provocative look. Speculation ran rampant, with many alleging that West, 47, had orchestrated the moment.
Unwilling to let the rumors spiral further, West took to social media platform X ( formerly Twitter) to set the record straight. In a lengthy post, he celebrated Censori’s confidence and dismissed accusations of manipulation. “I keep staring at this photo like I was staring in admiration that night,” he wrote. “I feel beyond lucky to have a wife who is brilliant, talented, fearless, and absolutely stunning.”
West also revealed that the now-infamous sheer dress went through six alterations before its final version hit the red carpet. He described the entire moment as cinematic adding, “She stepped away from filming her first movie to create a real-life movie moment.”
West wasn’t just praising his wife but also he had sharp words for those questioning how his late mother, Donda West, would have reacted. Some critics argued that the spectacle would have disappointed her, but West made it clear he had no patience for such remarks. “People keep asking what my mother would think,” he wrote. “You don’t know my mama ”

Despite the flood of online outrage, there have been no legal repercussions regarding Censori’s outfit. Reports confirm that neither the Los Angeles Police Department nor the Recording Academy received any formal complaints. Under California law, indecent exposure is defined as deliberately revealing one’s body in a manner intended to offend or disturb others. While social media had strong opinions, no one at the event was moved to take legal action.
West took this as a victory, noting how much heat the moment created. He also acknowledged Vogue’s coverage, particularly an article titled 'The Naked Truth About Bianca Censori’s Grammys Look,' which he felt cast her in a “strong, positive light.”
Many believe West masterminded the entire event as a calculated publicity stunt. Coincidentally, after Censori’s red carpet moment, his Yeezy brand advertised the Grammy broadcast, leading to speculation that the provocative fashion choice was tied to a larger marketing strategy.
West himself seemed to confirm this theory, declaring, “We beat the Grammys.” If his goal was to dominate headlines, then he certainly succeeded. Love it or hate it, the moment ensured that West and Censori remained the center of attention, proving once again that controversy is a currency Kanye knows how to spend.
One certain thing is, Kanye West isn’t letting the backlash get to him. And if critics were expecting him to back down, they were clearly mistaken.
