Last year, Disgraced Kanye West was cancelled for making anti-Semitic remarks and vowed to “go death con three on Jews.” He was seen snooping at a store in Beverly Hills Wednesday with his new wife Bianca Censori. They visited Balenciaga, which became controversial in December after releasing a controversial ad campaign that featured toddlers holding teddy bears in outfits inspired by BDSM, along with a series of ads depicting court documents related to child pornography. Both Demna, the brand’s creative director, and the brand apologized following the backlash. As a result of West’s inflammatory anti-Semitic remarks last October, Balenciaga cut ties with him. The Grammy winner had previously collaborated with Demna on Yeezy Gap apparel and looks for Kim Kardashian, his ex-wife.

Just days before his partnership with Balenciaga ended, West debuted on the runway at the house during Paris Fashion Week. In December, the “Runaway” rapper defended Balenciaga on Twitter; he was spotted browsing the boutique’s footwear collection with 27-year-old Censori, the Australian Yeezy employee he reportedly married earlier this month, according to reports. It is no secret that West is known for taking his flames shopping. Chaney Jones was gifted a $275,000 Hermès bag by him in April 2022, while ex-Julia Fox was treated to $100,000 Diesel dress-up date and five Birkin bags. The Kardashians are concerned about West’s sudden “wedding” to Censori, a source told Page Six.

Disgraced Kanye West Was Seen shopping At Cancelled Balenciaga With His Wife Bianca Censori
Disgraced Kanye West might be done with Balenciaga, but the rapper isn’t. The rapper took his “wife” Bianca Censori shopping at one of their luxury stores. Alongside his new wife, the embattled Eazy rapper browsed through merchandise at the brand’s Beverly Hills Rodeo Drive location on Wednesday. As previously reported by RadarOnline.com, the pair had a wedding ceremony, but have yet to file a marriage certificate to make their union legal after his divorce from Kim Kardashian was finalized in November 2022. After cutting ties with Ye over his anti-Semitic remarks, West and Censori left their retail therapy session with several bags of merchandise. She paired her statement fur coat with black pointed-toe boots, wearing a canary-coloured coat. On the other hand, West wore a monochromatic black outfit with a T-shirt bearing the word “Bundeswehr,” a nod to the German army.
In addition to having a long-standing professional relationship with Balenciaga, he also opened the brand’s Paris Fashion Week show weeks before the label announced its separation in October. BDSM-inspired outfits and teddy bears have led to another controversy for Balenciaga, stemming from an advertisement campaign of the brand. Afterwards, the brand apologized publicly and withdrew the campaign from their public platforms after another series of ads featured child pornography laws. Disgraced Kanye West is famed for treating his flames to shopping sprees, including a $100,000 Diesel dress-up date and five Birkin bags to his ex Julia Fox, as well as giving his fling Chaney Jones a $275,000 Hermès bag. According to a source at Page Six, West’s sudden marriage to Censori has concerned the Kardashians. Family members aren’t considering this to be a marriage yet,” the insider said. “They have no idea what it is. This may be a PR stunt, but they aren’t sure. They’re waiting for him to file papers. In the event that it is true, she would be in the lives of the children.

So he says he stands against exploiting children but he’s shopping at a place that recently had a major scandal about exploiting children?
