KANYE West has broken his silence for the first time after reports he is divorcing wife Bianca Censori.

The rapper, 47, posted a cryptic message on Instagram – days after he claimed he owned his wife in vile social media posts.

He shared a definition of “coercion” with what appears to be a screenshot of a Google AI overview response captioned: “Is the coercion”, alongside a thinking emoji.

The picture read: “Yes, coercion is illegal”, suggesting the search could have been whether coercion was a crime.

It continued: “Coercion is the act of forcing someone to do something against their will through threats or intimidation.

“It can involve physical harm, psychological abuse, extortion, blackmail or sexual assault.”

Kanye’s post disappeared minutes after it was published.

Last week Kanye wrote in X: “I HAVE DOMINION OVER MY WIFE THIS AINT NO WOKE AS FEMINIST S***.

“YES I DONT MAKE HER DO NOTHING SHE DOESNT WANT TO BUT SHE DEFINITELY WOULDNT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IT WITHOUT MY APPROVAL.”

He and Bianca, 30, are allegedly heading for divorce just 11 days after her naked dress stunt at the Grammy’s.

The parting couple has verbally agreed that Bianca will walk away with $5million after the short-lived marriage, it’s been reported.

The pair tied the knot in December 2022, but a source close to Ye claimed they have now broken up and will begin legal divorce filings shortly, according to the Mail.

Bianca is understood to be staying at their $35million mansion in Beverly Park North in Los Angeles, and Kanye has been staying at the Four Season hotel in the city, a source told The US Sun.

A source claimed: “Bianca has always stood by him, but things have not been good after his rants, and she’s still at the house.”

A separate source said the relationship has been rocky since the very beginning.

They said: “Back in 2022 after his first anti-semitic rant he posted a song days later, called Censori Overload.

“In it, there was a line saying: ‘Woke up to I can’t do this anymore texts.’

“They have been very up and down from the beginning. Bianca has put up with a lot but the Hitler and Nazi rants are often too much for her.”

However, a third source told The US Sun that the couple could easily get back together at any time.

And to add further confusion, Milo Yiannopolos, Kanye and Bianca’s rep, denied the divorce rumors.

“Ye and Bianca are in Los Angeles about to enjoy Valentine’s Day together,” Yiannopolous told The Hollywood Reporter.

The U.S. Sun spoke to family trial lawyer Holly Davis who explained the need for an NDA … and why Biana should ask for more than $5 million:

“There are some behaviors that a wife can no longer condone. There are some controlling patterns that a wife may no longer accept.

“It appears that Bianca Censori has finally reached her limit with Kanye, a period of time many have predicted would come earlier than today.

“If Kanye cares about avoiding public embarrassment, which he may not, he will want to negotiate an NDA with Bianca to avoid an expose into some of the more darker parts of their story, including any possible criminal activity.

“Given Kanye’s current attitude towards free speech, it would be fascinating to see if he believed it applied to divorce proceedings, and in favor of his wife.

“I highly doubt that Bianca will stick to any verbal agreement for $5M, which seems like a low figure for what she managed during the marriage.

“The only enforceable contracts are written ones, so if they did have a verbal agreement that benefits Kanye, he should be on his best behavior in the divorce to ensure she doesn’t change her mind.

“Any attorney she hires or speaks with will assess her case to determine if the $5 million figure is too high or low.

If it’s high, they should settle. If it’s too low, she should change her mind on that agreement in light of receiving legal advice.

“That’s why people and celebrities should hire lawyers before discussions on ultimate terms with your spouse, you might accidentally agree to a lower number than what you deserve before you knew any better.

“Kanye will always find some lawyer to represent him, but whether this lawyer will remain on the case will be the issue.

“Most of the time, lawyers learn that Kanye does not follow their legal advice, putting them in a precarious position.

“He will likely be representing himself, whether he has a lawyer or not, because he cannot put his impulsivity and opinions second to legal advice.”

The pair turned heads last week when they hit the Grammys red carpet together – and Bianca was completely naked in an “invisible” dress that revealed every bit of her private body parts.

Commenters have said she was visibly unhappy on the red carpet when Kanye instructed her to drop her fur coat – in a spectacle the rapper’s friends have insisted was his idea of “art”.

And The US Sun exclusively reported that the pair appeared to be arguing just moments before pulling the shocking PR stunt.

Actress and social media star Riley Mae Lewis, who was standing near the couple on the red carpet, told The US Sun the pair had a “weird energy.”

Riley said: “She didn’t look like was fully onboard with the scandal he wanted to create on the carpet.

“The energy between the two seemed off, and a lot of people on the carpet thought the exact same thing.

“It makes me concerned for what their relationship is like behind the scenes.

“When I saw him, he kind of gave me a flirty look even though Bianca was right next to him… the whole situation was weird.”

The day after the Grammy’s, Kanye wrote on X: “My wife’s first red carpet opened a whole new world. I keep staring at this photo like I was staring in admiration that night Thinking wow I am so lucky to have a wife that is so smart talented brave and hot.”

He hit headlines around the world in the following days with foul-mouthed social media rants claiming he was God, applauding Hitler and ladling out vicious abuse to various groups of people.

He was temporarily banned from X but allowed back online on Thursday after deleting most of his offensive content.

He claimed the rants had been a “social experiment”.

The rapper – who has said he has autism – also bought an ad slot at the Super Bowl for his clothing line – which had been stripped back to just one item: a $20 t-shirt branded with the Nazi swastika.

He previously labelled the design his “greatest art”.

The site was closed down by Shopify within 24 hours.

The rapper’s inner circle felt he was “ramping up” at his Grammys after-party and predicted he was soon headed for a meltdown similar to his past manic episodes.

KANYE’S public meltdowns are nothing new, and many die-hard fans have stuck by him amid his mental health battles, while others have tried to separate the art from the artist.

But in my years covering Ye, I have never known him to be this self-destructive, blowing up what was left of his empire after spending two years building back his reputation. Even fan sites are now logging off after supporting him for years.

Unfortunately, I can’t say his recent meltdown surprises me. His life behind the scenes has been chaotic since his split from Kim Kardashian. He is a ticking time bomb.

Ye previously expressed his frustration at Kim for dressing provocatively. He focused on religion and wanted to relocate to Wyoming full-time.

But his life now couldn’t be any different. He’s often seen parading his wife Bianca Censori around almost naked, and his former assistant claimed he turned his Yeezy office into a “sexual playground” where orgies were the norm, which he denied.

During his hateful rants on X, he posted several adult videos and I fear his porn addiction is out of control.

When he recently revealed on a friend’s podcast that he had come off meds for bipolar and instead believed he was autistic, it was clear things may go south.

He has suffered from manic episodes for years, and I believe he should be medicated, have a regular therapist, and stay clear of drugs and alcohol.

Now his marriage to Bianca Censori is in trouble, and although the lifestyle may be fun, I doubt being around him at the moment is.

Many in his inner circle are enablers, except for a few who have tried to save him from himself and sadly failed.

A public pile-on could only backfire in these circumstances, although I stand by the Jewish community and think his comments have been unforgivable.

Kanye needs to step back from public life, he needs to get help, and he needs to get to the root of his issues once and for all.

He is a 47-year-old man who has already ruined his legacy and needs to be responsible for his own actions, not only for his sake, and for the sake of his children.
