Kanye West has been diagnosed with autism. The rapper made the announcement after being criticized for dressing his wife in a nude outfit on the 2025 Grammy red carpet.
Kanye West revealed that his wife, Bianca Censori, suggested he get tested.
“She said there was something about my personality that didn’t seem bipolar. She’d met people with bipolar before. I listened to her, went back to the doctor and got diagnosed with autism,” the singer and fashion brand founder shared.
Kanye West said the diagnosis helped him better understand some of his behavior over the years.

“Autism makes you do things that are different from everyone else. You wear a Trump hat because you like Trump. And then when people tell you not to do it, you do it anyway. And that’s my problem. When fans tell me to do my album the way they want, I do it the opposite way,” Kanye added.
In 2020, Kim Kardashian (Kanye West’s ex-wife) also acknowledged the rapper’s difficulties in managing his mental health.
She shared: “People who understand mental illness know that the family is helpless unless the member is a minor. People who don’t know can be judgmental and not understand that the individual needs help.”
Kanye West himself has mentioned his bipolar disorder in his music products. The famous star admitted that he often felt out of control. That led to the collapse of Kanye West’s deal with the fashion brand Adidas.
Kanye West is currently not taking medication for his mental health. “I haven’t been on medication since I found out that my bipolar diagnosis wasn’t correct,” he said. “I’m looking for things that don’t hinder my creativity, which is clearly what I bring to the world.” The singer’s comments came shortly after he and his wife made a controversial appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards

On the red carpet, the singer’s wife shocked everyone when she took off her jacket to reveal a see-through outfit. Some news sites such as Hollywood Reporter, Us Weekly, and People ranked the appearance of the West couple as one of the worst moments of the awards ceremony. Many people criticized Kanye’s wife’s behavior as inappropriate and demeaning.
After posing, the two left, sparking rumors that they were asked to leave the event even though Kanye was one of the nominees. Grammy Awards executive producer Raj Kapoor denied this to People on February 4.
Kanye West is said to be behind his wife’s shocking nude display. In response to the criticism, the famous American singer praised Bianca Censori as brave, talented, and charming.
On social network X (formerly Twitter), Kanye West posted a photo of the two at the event with the caption: “My wife’s first red carpet and she opened up a whole new world. I keep looking at her pictures the same way I looked at her that night with admiration.
I am so lucky to have a wife who is smart, talented, brave and sexy. She put her first movie on hold to do a real-life production.”

Kanye West also thanked Vogue magazine for praising his wife’s outfit. In an article on February 4, Vogue writer Raven Smith commented that Bianca Censori’s dress was like a statement that women can wear whatever they want. “Let’s not jump to conclusions just because we’re uncomfortable seeing her like that,” wrote Raven Smith.
Bianca’s actions also put her family in the public eye. Recently, the architect’s mother, who lives in Australia, spoke up: “We are just normal people, living our lives as privately as possible. I have nothing to say about Bianca, thank you.”
Bianca’s mother once expressed disappointment and concern when her daughter was influenced by her husband, dressed sexily, and sometimes received offensive comments.
Kanye West (born 1977) is one of the most successful artists of the 21st century, having sold more than 140 million records. Thanks to his music and fashion business, Kanye West currently owns a fortune of 400 million USD.
In February 2021, Kanye divorced reality TV star Kim Kardashian after nearly 7 years of marriage. He and his ex-wife are currently raising 4 children together.
In 2023, Kanye West and Bianca Censori held a wedding ceremony in Beverly Hills, California (USA). However, they did not register their marriage.
Bianca Censori (born 1995) is an architect in Melbourne (Australia). In 2017, she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in this field from the University of Melbourne. She has been in charge of architectural design for Kanye West’s Yeezy shoe brand since November 2020.
After becoming Kanye West’s wife, Bianca Censori dresses boldly, always attracting the audience’s attention every time she appears.
