Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, were seen together on Wednesday evening as they traveled from Tokyo to Beijing for Kanye’s upcoming listening party. The event, set for September 15 in Haikou, is part of the promotion for their critically panned three-album project, Vultures.
West and his studio collaborator, Ty Dolla Sign, are gearing up to showcase the second installment, Vultures II, which was released on August 3 and met with a flurry of negative reviews. The final album in the series has yet to announce a release date.
In Tokyo, Censori made headlines with a surprisingly understated look. Ditching her usual provocative outfits, she opted for a simple cream top and matching bicycle shorts, accessorized with a casual cap and kitten-heeled shoes while passing through security at Tokyo International Airport.
West’s recent public appearances have stirred significant controversy. At his Vultures II show in South Korea on August 23, he made headlines by chanting “f**k Adidas” and rallying the crowd to join him, before dedicating his 2007 track “I Wonder” to fellow rapper Drake. This outburst is part of a broader pattern of provocations following his split with Adidas, which ended after a series of incidents, including West’s controversial “White Lives Matter” shirt at Paris Fashion Week in 2022.
In a related development, a source revealed that Kanye’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, has requested that West ensure Censori maintains a modest appearance around their children. According to DailyMail Kardashian is reportedly “surprised” by West’s decision to allow Censori to dress in more revealing outfits, raising concerns about the influence of her style on their children.
As West and Censori prepare for the next phase of the Vultures rollout, their public appearances continue to attract attention and provoke discussion.
