Kanye West cosies up to corset-clad Bianca Censori as they celebrate his 49th birthday at the Palace of Versailles
Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori have dropped jaws once again – as the rapper continues to face controversy over his vile antisemitic history.
In snaps posted to his Instagram Stories on Sunday, West, 49, and his wife, 31, pushed the envelope as they posed up a storm in a palatial setting adorned with gold decor, candles, and a lavish harp.
Yet the theme of their shoot, from the seductive poses to the racy corset, clashed with the elegance of the room.
A masked-up West was clothed in an all-black leather outfit as he sat beside his wife who donned a satin corset, a feathered mask, and – at times – an opulent gown.
Bianca posed seductively by her spouse, her cleavage and toned limbs on full display as her spouse grazed his arm by her leg.
TMZ reports the photos were taken at the Palace of Versailles in France, where Ye and his wife gathered with 20 of their friends to celebrate his 49th birthday.

The outlet reports the couple partied with their pals in one area of the palace before taking the celebrations at the Airelles Château de Versailles, Le Grand Contrôle, a hotel at the Château de Versailles.
They are believed to have dropped a little less than $400k for their party at the hotel.
It’s unclear when exactly the celebrations occurred; Ye marks his birthday on June 8 and is currently in Florida for a duo of performances that have ignited controversy.
Ye’s concerts at the Raymond James Stadium prompted Senator Rick Scott to launch a petition asking the Tampa Sports Authority to cancel the controversial rapper’s performances, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
‘Kanye West is an admitted and prolific antisemite who has slandered Jews, praised Adolf Hitler, called himself a Nazi and sold swastika merchandise on his website — among his numerous other antisemitic remarks and actions. Florida — and especially the Tampa Bay area — has a large Jewish population,’ Scott said, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
‘Forcing them to support these concerts through their tax dollars is a complete slap in the face to the Jews in Florida and across the country and world.’
The Florida concerts ended up moving forward, with West performing on June 26 followed by a second show scheduled for June 28.
West’s presence has sparked controversy globally following a series of vile antisemitic remarks he has made in recent years.
While West has since issued a public mea culpa for his despicable remarks, a number of his performances have been either shelved or postponed.
A concert he had planned at St. Jakob-Park for June was cancelled months earlier, along with a growing number of European countries who have stopped or postponed the rapper’s performances.
West’s slate of comeback concerts have come with mixed results, as he performed a pair of shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles in April – and took the stage earlier this month in Gelredome stadium in the Netherlands – but has been thwarted elsewhere.
In May, officials in Italy called off a planned July show at RFC Arena in Reggio Emilia citing security concerns and complaints from the Jewish community.
In April, West’s visa was taken away as he was slated to perform at the Wireless Festival in London, which itself was called off after the change.
‘We are clear that the past comments and actions of this artist are offensive and wrong, and not reflective of London’s values,’ London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s office told Rolling Stone.
An insider close to West told the Daily Mail at the time that the Stronger rapper was ‘disappointed’ as he hoped to convene a dialog with people concerned with providing him a platform.
He offered to meet with the Jewish community in the UK today – to listen, but the door was shut before that conversation could even begin,’ the insider said.
A show slated for June 19 in Poland at the Slaski stadium was canceled, and West himself canceled a Marseille, France show after it appeared he was going to face issues from local authorities.
West this year has appeared to take multiple steps to re-establish himself as a professional with the Jewish community.
This past January, the Stronger artist said he was sorry about his past praise of Adolf Hitler and similar comments condemned as dangerous by the ADL to the Daily Mail last year.
West said in an advertisement published by the Wall Street Journal, titled ‘Those I Hurt,’ that he ‘lost touch with reality,’ attributing some of the lapses in judgment to injuries suffered as a result of a 2002 car accident.
Things got worse the longer I ignored the problem,’ West said. ‘I said and did things I deeply regret. It does not excuse what I did though. I am not a Nazi or an antisemite. I love Jewish people.’
