Kanye West plots career comeback as he teams up with ‘wife’ Bianca Censori to create ‘culture-changing’ fashion designs…after controversy over anti-Semitic statements
Kanye West is reportedly feeling inspired by the current “marriage” as he tries to make his way back to a public “career comeback.”
The 46-year-old rapper has recently had a renewed focus on both his music and his interests in fashion design, a source said. Us weekly on Tuesday.
West seems particularly inspired by his partnership with Bianca Censori, whom he married in January this year in a ceremony that was not legally binding.
The two were spotted over the weekend when the Monster rapper got affectionate with his bride while on a trip to Tuscany, Italy.
He would especially like to try and revive his floundering career after suffering massive financial setbacks and losing lucrative fashion and shoe contracts due to anti-Semitic statements he made.

According to the source, the couple are “having a good time traveling right now and Kanye is very inspired.”
“He says he designs, writes music and gets inspired,” they added.
After a widely derided Yeezy show in which the musician-turned-designer wore his models in “White Lives Matter” shirts, he hopes to shake up fashion culture with his latest designs.
“Bianca has been helping Kanye with some designs and they both think their fashion will undergo a culture shift,” the source continued.
It’s unclear if the rapper is working on variations on the casual styles and earth tones he’s long favored for his Yeezy clothing, or if he’s envisioning a more drastic break from his previous designs.
“Kanye feels he’s about to make a big comeback,” the source claimed.
However, his public problems with offensive statements and bizarre behavior in recent years may complicate his efforts to welcome back to the fashion world.
On a practical level, the loss of major deals with Gap and Adidas could also hinder its ability to produce new clothing.

Lovebirds: As for him and Bianca, his seven-month marriage is apparently still going strong. The insider described the two as still in a ‘honeymoon phase’
As for him and Bianca, his seven-month marriage is apparently still going strong.
The insider described the two as still in a “honeymoon phase.”
“They’re always over each other and showing affection,” they continued.
The lovebirds provided ample proof of that in an Instagram video posted Monday showing the Flashing Lights rapper grinding on his current love while singing along to I Gotta Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas over dinner with friends.
The two have emphasized their desire for each other with PDA-packed outings during their Italian vacation.
Bianca has put on particularly sizzling displays in busty, revealing looks, while also wearing sheer items that leave little to the imagination.
Her clothing choices appear to have been chosen or designed by her “husband” as they broadly match his usually Yeezy designs.
Just like he did with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, West seems to have a big influence on his current “wife” when it comes to her outfits and fashion choices.

Dive into the studio? West is also reportedly working on new music, though it’s unclear if he has an album in the works following Donda 2’s disastrous rollout; seen in 2015 in Las Vegas
The hitmaker, who has been turning heads lately for going out barefoot in Italy on multiple occasions, is reportedly up for auction a replica of his childhood home used in a series of performances he gave ahead of the release of his critically divisive sowing donda album.
While he’s also said to have a renewed focus on making music, according to the source, it’s unclear if he plans to make a grand statement on the scale of his purported fashion ambitions.
His double LP Donda, later expanded into an even longer deluxe edition, was a number one hit and later went platinum, but divided critics over its length and perceived lack of hooks or upbeat songs.
He followed it up with the critically reviled Donda 2, which was only released on his Stem Player device, though the company that manufactures the device announced it would stop producing it due to West’s anti-Semitic statements.
