Apparently, actress and model Julia Fox just can’t stop spilling the beans about her short-lived relationship with forever-embattled Hip-Hop icon Ye aka Kanye West. Fox has already blabbed about how she only dated Ye to keep him from harassing Kim Kardashian and about how their relationship lacked sex.
Now, Julia Fox has revealed in a memoir released Tuesday (Oct. 10), that during their brief fling, Ye once casually offered to pay for her to get a “boob job.”
From HuffPost:
She said the moment happened while the pair were hanging out in a hotel room and playing a card game.
“We spend the day playing Uno and a game that involves highlighting positive words in the dictionary,” Fox wrote in her book, titled “Down the Drain.”
That’s when the Grammy-winning rapper allegedly told her out of the blue, “I’ll get you a boob job if you want.”
But Fox wasn’t feeling the offer.
“His words stick to me like a piece of lint on my clothes, and I can’t shake off the uncomfortable feeling,” she wrote.
Last month, Fox told the Los Angeles Times she felt “weaponized” by Ye against Kardashian, who was dating comedian Pete Davidson at the time, and we all remember how that mostly one-sided feud went.
“I just felt like his little puppet,” Fox said.
Well, now, the “puppet” is pulling her own strings and acting as her own very chatty ventriloquist. Apparently, a lot happened (and didn’t happen) during the Ye and Fox romance that lasted less than two months.
Of course, it wouldn’t be terribly surprising if Ye did up and offer to buy his then-girlfriend new boobs out of the blue. This is the guy who, last year, was accused of inappropriately showing pornographic photos to employees at adidas, a company the “Jesus Walks” rapper had a very public falling out with last year.
Apparently, there are few things in this world that are more shaky than a relationship with Ye, be it business or personal.
Just—wow.

After getting divorced, most couples tend to take a break from the dating scene and heal as best as they can before even thinking about getting into another relationship. Not Kanye West though.
According to Daily Mail UK, Kanye West not only moved on from Kim Kardashian with Bianca Censori after they separated but actually married Censori the month after their divorced was finalized. That man must really loved the married life. Though their had been rumors that the freaky pair tied the knot at some point in their relationship, there was no real evidence of their union until now as the Daily Mail obtained confidential marriage documents apparently proving the two are living in wedded bliss.
Daily Mail UK reports:
Many had assumed that the 46-year-old rapper and Yeezy architect, 28, married in a ceremony that was not legally binding, as there was seemingly no evidence of the union, with reports claiming they had a private ceremony in Beverly Hills earlier this year in January without an official marriage license.
However, DailyMail.com can now confirm that is not the case, having obtained and reviewed the official document that lists their date of marriage as December 20, 2022 – just one month after he finalized his divorce from his first wife Kim Kardashian in November 2022.
Per their marriage license, the happy couple tied the knot in Palo Alto, California, known as Silicon Valley, and DailyMail.com has learned the pair picked a secret location for the special event.
The document was filed under their full names, Bianca Censori, and simply ‘Ye’ for the rapper, who legally changed his name from Kanye Omari West to the mononym in October 2021.
That’s so Kanye.
Now that we know that the couple are indeed husband and wife, one has to wonder if there was any kind of prenuptial agreement written up or whether Kanye just jumped headfirst into this union with no fear of one day getting divorced again. Truth be told, we wouldn’t be surprised if Kanye just rolled the dice and went into this new marriage without any kind of prenup.
As for why all the secrecy behind the marriage, a close friend of the couple tells the Daily Mail that, “Ye has been a megastar for two decades and counting, and his first marriage was to someone who lives almost full time in front of a camera.”
“Bianca and Ye have a totally different vibe. They are very private, very affectionate and totally devoted to each other. I think they both enjoy carving out time that’s just for them.
For that reason they’ve been extremely hush-hush about the specifics of their wedding day. I don’t think anyone besides the pair of them know exactly how it went down.”
We honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Kanye had someone document the entire thing for a future project or something.
Now that the cat’s out of the bag, we wonder if Kanye will acknowledge the news or keep on living like he doesn’t have a care in the world.
What do y’all think of the news that Kanye and Bianca Censori tied the knot just a month after his divorce from Kim Kardashian was finalized? Too soon or just about right for Ye? Let us know in the comments section below.

Ye aka Kanye West has reportedly filed to trademark an eyebrow-raising phrase, “YEWS,” for a new slate of business ventures.
TMZ reportsr the filings—26 of them—were reportedly made on October 2 with the US Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) to trademark the phrase “YEWS”. While Ye is not explicitly named in these filings, the Ox Paha Inc. company that submitted the documents shares the same address as the rapper’s office in Los Angeles.
Intellectual property firm Gerben Law has compiled a listing of all of the trademark filings. The desired purpose of these filings reportedly is to use the “YEWS” phrase for multiple purposes including clothing, music, restaurants, real estate businesses, entertainment, financial services, and more.
The filings were made by Weeks Nelson, a company that Ye hired after his former legal team dropped him after his spree of making antisemitic remarks which began last October with a now-removed post on X, formerly known as Twitter which said “going death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE.” That and subsequent antisemitic remarks would lead Ye to see his business partnerships with Adidas, Balenciaga, and The Gap severed in addition to being blocked from his social media accounts. When contacted, the firm did not comment.
The news of the intent to trademark a phrase that combines his name and the word “Jews” comes at a highly awkward time for Ye. The rapper has been spending the last few months in Europe with his wife, Bianca Censori, keeping somewhat of a low profile after his remarks (which culminated in him praising Hitler while appearing on the right-wing media host Alex Jones’ InfoWars podcast). West is reportedly working on a new album during this downtime. He made a surprise appearance at Travis Scott’s Circus Maximus show in Rome in August, and apart from that has come up in news items concerning leaks of previous work including audio from 2018 where he claimed Cardi B was an “industry plant.”

Kanye West loves to call himself a genius, and as the saying goes there’s a thin line between genius and insanity. Over the past few years it seems like Yeezy’s been leaning towards the latter, and his latest outburst serves as more proof of that theory.
According to TMZ, Kanye West let a pedicurist witness first hand what it’s like to deal with his infamous mood changes. He cut his pedicure appointment short and walked away due to a little pain he suffered at the hands of the nail technician. The incident unfolded in a hotel room where he and Ty Dolla $ign were holed up, and it was Ty who actually uploaded the video onto the internet for all to see.
TMZ reports:
Kanye’s pal, and music partner Ty Dolla $ign uploaded the funny footage Thursday showing Kanye’s interaction with the puzzled pedicurist. You see Kanye react with a quick jolt of pain before deciding the whole treatment was over … standing up and saying he wanted to stop.
The woman performing the pedicure tries to convince Kanye to let her finish, but he ain’t budging, saying “It’s my toes.” Check out the look on Ty’s face, he’s stunned by the whole interaction.
Kanye’s essentially been trekking barefoot in Europe throughout the summer — so you gotta imagine the nail tech had her work cut out for her — but Ye didn’t wanna take a chance.
Well, they are his toes and from what we know pedicures can sometimes be painful. Maybe Kanye has a regular pedicurist with the hands of a goddess who never makes his little piggies squeal or something.
Still, Kanye didn’t let a little foot pain keep him from getting back on his grind and continuing to create his upcoming album with the help of Ty Dolla $ign, who previewed their collaborative cut in the club.
Check out clips of the aforementioned incident and unreleased song below. Let us know your thoughts on Kanye’s actions and song in the comments section.

Kathy Griffin is once again heading back to cancel court after posting a video accusing Kanye West of abusing his wife, Bianca Censori.
In the lengthy clip, shared widely on social media, a pale-faced Griffin shares her thoughts on Kanye West, who has been the punchline for many of her jokes. According to the d-list comedian, Ye is allegedly abusing Censori based on her attire and recent actions since the two wed. In the unhinged video, Griffin asserts that West is abusing his wife, claiming that she has no voice, saying:
“While it’s easy to make fun of Kanye because he is crazy and nutty. We’ve all seen those photos of Kanye and his new wife Bianca Censori, right? I see those photos when she is in those pantyhose and like not even a bandeau top, it’s really all about being see-through. I’ve heard that she has a master’s degree in architecture from a university in Australia, she’s gorgeous and she seems to have no voice whatsoever,” she said, adding that while Censori had a “banging body,” she looked “almost identical” to Ye’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.
Despite having NO evidence to support her assertion, the 62-year-old continued her allegations stating that if Ye “wasn’t physically abusing [Censori] then he was ‘psychologically abusing’ her,” using the example of the couple’s recent visit to Italy that led to a viral video of them allegedly engaging in lewd behavior on a boat in Venice, while locals complained about the scantily clad Censori causing mayhem with an impromptu fashion shoot in Florence.
“When they were in Italy and he had her drop to her knees and give him a ‘service’ and we saw his bare butt — knowing there were paparazzi photographers all the way around and people with just phone cameras — that to me just reeks of abuse,” Griffin continued. “Like ‘get on your knees and do this now on a freaking water taxi.”
Griffin doubled down on the “Carolyn Bryant Donham” styled accusation, adding in her video: “I don’t know her, I’m never going to meet her, but I just want to know what you guys think, because it just looks like something a really controlling dude would do.”
After a clip of Griffin’s TikTok was shared to X, formerly Twitter, many people came to the defense of Kanye, calling for the half a chuckle-worthy comedian to be sued over the slanderous video.
“Ye and Bianca Censori need to sue Kathy Griffin for all she’s got after this libel and slander,” one person wrote on X.
With another writing: “As much i know she is probably worried. Throwing out allegations like this is NOT OKAY.”
As previously reported, Yeezy and Censori got married at a ceremony in Beverly Hills in January, just two months after his divorce from Kardashian was finalized.
Neither West nor Censori have responded to the allegations.

adidas CEO has an interesting take on Kanye West and his penchant for saying blatant antisemitic things on social media.
Bjørn Gulden, chief executive of adidas, is finally speaking on the fallout between Ye and his company after the rapper couldn’t stop being an antisemitic clown on his social media accounts.
Spotted on Deadline, Gulden sort of put on his cape for the “Good Life” crafter whom he had to cut ties with, bringing to an end their ridiculously successful partnership, claiming he believes West didn’t mean any of the offensive things he said during a recent episode of the Norwegian podcast In Good Company.
Per Deadline:
“I think Kanye West is one of the most creative people in the world. Both in music and what I call street culture,” Gulden said after being questioned about West on the Norwegian podcast In Good Company.
“He’s extremely creative and has together with Adi, created a Yeezy line that was very successful. And then, as a creative person, he made some statements which wasn’t that good. And that caused Adi to break the contract and withdraw the product. Very unfortunate because I don’t think he meant what he said, and I don’t think he’s a bad person – it just came across that way.”
Word?
Gulden also noted that it was “very sad” when speaking about his company losing “one of the most successful collabs in history.”
He also notes that what happened with Ye could happen with any celeb or athlete because of how unpredictable working with third parties is.
“When you work with third parties, that could happen. It’s part of the game. That can happen with an athlete — it can happen with an entertainer. It’s part of the business,” he continued.
What Has Ye Been Up To?
As of right now, Ye doesn’t have any collaborations. His comments cost him business dealings with Balenciaga, adidas CAA, and Gap, whom he distanced himself from before they could give him the boot.
You can find Ye running around the country trying to make his Yeezy Socks and dressing his wife, Bianca Censori, in nothing but pantyhose a thing.
We can’t forget allegedly getting caught with his pants down in Venice while his “wife” topped him off, earning them a well-deserved banning by the Venetian Water Taxi company.

Kanye West is launching a legal offensive against an Instagram page for leaking a number of unreleased songs to the public. According to the report, Ye believes the person was once part of his musical inner circle and is violating a confidentiality agreement.
TMZ reports that Kanye West, 46, filed a suit against the Instagram account @DaUnreleasedGod for releasing reportedly 21 songs since March of this year on the social media network. The same social media handle operates a page on X, formerly known as Twitter, and an additional 11 songs were leaked to the service.
More from TMZ:
The complaint specifies Ye has no clue who’s behind the IG page but believes whoever is behind the account worked with him in the past and signed a confidentiality agreement before being given access to the tracks … and he believes the leaks violated those agreements.
He plans to amend the filing with the names of the people behind the account once he learns their identity.
The outlet adds that West is rumored to be working on new tunes en route to a musical comeback.
In other Kanye West news, Yeezy and his wife, Bianca Censori, are banned from using a water taxi service in Italy after performing what appeared to be a lewd act in front of several onlookers.
We’ll keep an eye on the lawsuit story as it develops.

Kanye West and his alleged wife Bianca Censori got a little sloppy, pun intended. The couple has reportedly been banned by the Italian water taxi rental company where they were allegedly spotted engaging in some oral gratification.
The Venetian boat rental company claims Ye and his wife performed a lewd act, and in kind they have been banned, for life. As we previously reported, last Monday, Yeezy’s bare ass was photographed while his wife was also seen in a compromising (not for Mr. West) position. The consensus is the “Champion” rapper was received oral, and word is the local are none too pleased about it, including the owners of the watercraft he was traveling aboard.
Reports the Dail Mail:
Venezia Turismo Motoscafi, the company that rented the boat to West and Censori, have since spoken exclusively to Daily Mail Australia and confirmed the couple are ‘no longer welcome’ aboard their boats.
In its statement the company condemned the pair’s bawdy activity, while confirming it was ‘completely unaware’ what occurred on the boat the photos were made public.
‘On board, the driver had to keep a lookout for traffic and did not see these obscenities. If this had happened, he would have immediately disembarked and reported the transgressors to those in authority.’
‘In addition, there was a third person on board the taxi, who accompanied Mr. and Mrs. West, who obstructed the captain’s view to the stern in any case.’
The statement continued, “Mr. West and his wife will certainly no longer be welcome on board our company’s boats.”
Sounds like it was a calculated affair. Next time, get a room.

Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori have made a number of head-turning appearances over the years as is the “Way of Ye” as it relates to his public persona. Speaking of head-turning, a risque photo of Yeezy allegedly getting his mic checked while on a boat made its rounds online and the reactions were priceless.
Kanye West, 46, and Bianca Censori, 28, were spotted on a private boat in Venice according to several reports from TMZ and other outlets. From what we could tell from the photo, Ye, dressed in all Black with his face covered, was sitting on the back end of the small boat with Censori kneeling in front of him.
By way of onlooker photos and other snaps, Ye’s pants are clearly down around his ankles and Censori’s arm can be seen resting as if she’s getting a good look at things, if you catch our drift. As shown in TMZ’s report, other boaters had their phones out and Ye didn’t seem bothered by all the attention. In fact, he didn’t do anything to cover up the situation.
Making all of this particularly interesting is that Ye and Censori aren’t on the boat alone. In one flick, it looked like the captain turned around to take a gander himself. In a video that was posted to TikTok, Ye and Censori casually exit the boat which appeared to be a river taxi, and casually stroll down the street like Ye’s buttcheeks weren’t exposed on a boat.
Of course, we can’t post photos or videos of the moment but it’s out there if you know where to look. We’ve got reactions from X, formerly known as Twitter, below.

The former publicist for Ye aka Kanye West indicted in the Georgia election case involving former President Donald Trump has a friend in Consequence.
As Trevian Kutti surrendered to officials at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia last Friday (August 25th), many were struck by her smiling mugshot given the seriousness of being one of Trump’s co-conspirators in trying to overturn the results of the 2020 Presidential Election. But Consequence, who got to know Kutti as she worked with Ye and Chance The Rapper, said in an interview that it’s just part of her pleasant demeanor.
“She was always cool, I never got shady vibes from her…solid Black woman,” the Queens rapper said of the publicist. “That’s why I left a comment on one of the pages saying, “Free her until she’s free”. He would elaborate about her working with Ye back then. “I don’t know what her official title was, I know that [publicist] is what people have thrown out there.” He also complimented her and Trump for having the best mugshots out of the group that has been charged by the Fulton County District Attorney’s office.
Consequence did hint that Kutti’s political background might have affected her current situation. “There have been an array of personalities that have been around us in a working capacity. When you’ve had the run we’ve had, you’re gonna run into everybody. I don’t know if her business with Ye is what bled into what is being alleged at this point.”
Kutti is accused of intimidating former Fulton County election worker Ruby Freeman to compel her to alter her testimony about what happened during election night at the State Farm Arena where a ballot processing center was stationed. She as well as the other defendants including former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and Rudy Giuliani were released on bond with the exception of Harrison Floyd who remains incarcerated.
The “Grammy Family” rapper did mention his latest project Who Shot Jamal in the interview and also dropped a hint that Ye could make a sudden entry into the 2024 presidential discussion. “We’re gonna keep the main thing the main thing, but we’ve always been the disruptors, and nothing’s gonna change about that.”
