Kanye West breaks silence on being 'kicked out of the Grammys' in angry outburst
Kanye West has lashed out against the claims he and his wife Bianca Censori were kicked out of Sunday night's Grammy Awards.
Rumours had rapidly spread, suggesting that the rapper was asked to leave the awards, held at the Crypto.com Arena in Downtown Los Angeles, after his wife posed in a completely sheer dress on the red carpet.
The musician, who now goes by the name Ye, was seen whispering into Bianca's ear while they posed for the photographers, before she ditched her fur coat to reveal almost nothing underneath.

The 30-year-old Australian model and architect dropped her coat as she posed in the totally see-through garment.
Rumours started to circulate after the incident, suggesting that the couple had been asked to leave, as onlookers saw the couple walk out of the awards and into an awaiting car.
But now Kanye has slammed broadcaster Don Lemon, claiming he was responsible for the rumour that the pair were asked to leave the event because of Bianca's outfit.
Sharing a snap of Don, Kanye wrote: "This the goofball that started the rumor that me and my wife got kicked out the Grammies 3 decades of innovating music and they always K***S like this."
But there is no evidence to suggest that Don was behind the rumour. Originally, Entertainment Tonight claimed, in a now-deleted post that the pair were "escorted out of the Grammys after showing up uninvited."
The Mirror understands that West was invited as a guest due to being nominated for Best Rap Song with his track 'Carnival' featuring Ty Dolla $ign.
But the star didn't hang around to see if he picked up the award, which eventually went to Kendrick. He and Bianca posed on the red carpet before leaving on their own accord, and were not kicked out of the award ceremony. Bianca was again covered up by her black coat as they exited.
Meanwhile, Page Six suggested that the scandalous outfit was "was an attempt to replicate" the album cover of Kanye's 2024 album, Vultures. On the cover, Bianca is seen standing backwards wearing nothing but thigh-high boots and a tiny bit of fabric covering her behind.
It comes as there were fears that Kanye and Bianca had put themselves at risk of jail time for indecent exposure at the Grammys ceremony.
According to California Penal Code 314(1), indecent exposure is defined as a person "exposing his or her naked body or genitals in front of anyone who could be annoyed or offended by it."
It also states that the act must be "willful and lewd" to be considered a crime. To be found guilty, a person must "intentionally expose your genitals or naked body; expose yourself in front of someone who might be offended or annoyed by it; intend to direct attention to yourself; and intend to sexually gratify yourself or offend someone else when you do it."
