Ye, aka Kanye West, and Bianca Censori have once again volunteered to be the punchline of the century. The couple, known for their audacious fashion that never fails to raise eyebrows, kept that tradition alive at the 2025 Grammys too. As soon as Censori dramatically shed her furry overcoat in front of the flashing cameras, the tabloids jumped all over it. From memes and backlash to getting featured in Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue, the past week has been a whirlwind for the couple. Yet, it appears Ye is not taking any of it too seriously.

Right after Kimmel's jab at the Grammy moment, cheekily referencing Will Smith’s Oscars debacle, Ye added his own spin on the very joke.

Ye is back at it with his usual social media shenanigans. This time, he has unleashed a full-on rant storm on X in the last 24 hours, ranting about pretty much everything. In fact, the only time there were not any posts coming from his X handle was when he was probably sleeping. Among the many odd tweets, there was a retweet Ye did for user @Jasp3r_0, who had posted, "BIANCA FOR –CK SAKE TAKE YOUR HUSBAND'S PHONE AWAY." Ye responded with a nod to Will Smith, retweeting, "Keep my wife name out your mouth you broke a– troll”.

This all went down just a few days after Jimmy Kimmel also poked fun at Smith and his infamous Oscars moment during his talk show. Kimmel joked that Smith, who was also at the Grammys, should have slapped Ye after Bianca Censori’s controversial outfit at the event. Kimmel even went as far as saying that if Smith had slapped the rapper, all his past controversies would have been forgiven. But Kimmel was not the only one who threw shade at Ye and Censori’s Grammy drama.

Julia Fox has apparently taken a dig at Bianca Censori recently, as she stepped out in an outfit that looked like it was inspired by Ye’s wife’s controversial ensemble. Fox walked the red carpet at NYFW's I Only Wear MAC show, wearing a trench coat that she later opened up to jokingly reveal a fake cleavage area. She posed for the cameras, further showing off herself.

A lot of fans saw it as a direct attack on Censori— who could have even faced legal trouble for her outfit at the event, according to reports. But despite the jaw-dropping scene at the Grammys and the rumors about them being escorted out of the event, authorities have told TMZ that they will not be taking any action against Censori.
