Paparazzi fight
Earlier this week, Ye was quizzed by reporters as he walked to support pal Charlie Wilson who was receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday. A journalist asked the musician if his new wife had any "free will" after his recent uploads, sharing near-naked pictures of Bianca all over his Instagram, before deleting them.
It stopped the musician in his tracks as he launched into a rant, snatching the journalist's mobile phone. "Don't come asking me that dumb-a** s***," he said. The TMZ reporter is seen in another angle asking Kanye for her phone back before the rapper says, "Answer the question - I’m supposed to answer your questions - answer my questions. I got your phone now: They’re gonna arrest me for taking your phone, arrest me for taking your phone then." He then calls himself a "grown-a** superhero".
"You got questions for that, or are you part of the system? Do you understand what I’m saying? Do you understand what I’m saying? Was it wrong for you to ask me about my wife, some dumba**, disrespectful sh*** like that, was that wrong or right?"
Later in the day, the reporter returned with a heavy video camera, seemingly so Kanye couldn't easily snatch it out of her hand. He was confronted by more press as he attempted to leave the event, mobbed as he walked to his blacked-out Ferrari supercar. A publicity expert later told The Mirror that Kanye needed to "seek anger management".
Near-naked snaps
Ye's row with the paparazzi stemmed from his recent antics on social media, sharing rather revealing images of wife Bianca. Ex-wife Kim is thought to have showed concern at her former spouse's activity, branding the uploads "odd". In one of the images, Bianca wore a revealing g-string thong up on her hips. She paired it with a pink, fluffy tube top made of fur which left little to the imagination as it barely covered her nipples.
Another photo featured both the rapper and Bianca as Kanye took a mirror selfie. While Kanye was head-to-toe in a more modest, black outfit, Bianca flashed her body next to him. She was dressed in an itty-bitty halter top made of only a few strings. The cups for her breasts were practically nonexistent as the extra material didn't fully cover her nipples.
In a final photo, Bianca went solo again in the same outfit. This time she decided to forgo the jacket, showing off her snatched waist and leaned forward, staring at the ground. In a display of her husband's wealth, she posed in a beautiful marble bathroom, next to a luxe bathrobe and Dior book. Kanye captioned the post: "Dropped sumn?"
Ye has since deleted all of the uploads, a move experts tell The Mirror could be one big "publicity stunt" for his latest album. Despite removing the grid posts, he did only recently share another out-there photo of Bianca, promoting his new YEEZY clothing.
Titanium teeth
Perhaps one of Kanye's strangest fashion statements of all time is his new set of $850,000 titanium teeth. Experts say the rapper is no longer able to chew his food with the "fixed and permanent" silver-coloured dentures. Dentists tell The Mirror he should have never had the procedure and that the hitmaker will live to regret his flashy smile.
The Flashing Lights hitmaker unveiled his teeth last month and they are thought to be non-removable. Kanye's new dentures are known as "fixed prosthodontics" and are part of a never-before-seen type of experimental dentistry co-created by the musician.
A source revealed to Page Six: "They are, as the name suggests, fixed and permanent," and added: "This goes way beyond veneers or grills. And his particular implant is quite unlike anything that has been done before." They explained that the dental work was partially Kanye's idea as he worked alongside celebrity dentist Dr. Thomas Connelly to help "manufacture" and "fit" the dentures. Dr. Thomas is well-known for working on a number of celebrities in the past including artists Post Malone, Lil Yachty and Odell Beckham.
The shiny new dentures are reported to be made of both palladium and platinum materials and are largely inspired by a James Bond character. Last week, Kanye revealed to his fans that the unique dentures were a reference to the character Jaws who appeared in the action movies The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker.
Antisemitism ban
With Kanye wiping his social media this week, it casts us back to the time Ye was removed from Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, now X, following a series of vile Antisemitic messages shared on his page. He even faced fury after appearing alongside Piers Morgan on his TV show over his comments about Jewish people.
He was later dropped by his talent agency, fashion brand Balenciaga, Adidas and his bank JP Morgan. But now Kanye, known as Ye, is apparently sorry, again. Insiders have already criticised the upcoming YouTuber apology style clip, snubbing his "rambling".
Sources say the video will drop ahead of his new album Vultures landing on February 9, per TMZ. He already apologised over Christmas with a statement written in Hebrew. Ye's bizarre message read: "I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions, it was not my intention to hurt or disrespect, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused."
Amongst thousands of fans, his ex-wife Kim Kardashian has previously slammed his anti-Semitism in a statement, saying: "Hate speech is never OK or excusable. I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end."
