KANYE West has broken his silence for the first time after reports he is divorcing his wife – Bianca Censori – with a cryptic social media message.

The rapper, 47, shared a definition of “coercion” on Instagram – days after he claimed he owned his wife in vile social media posts.

The post appeared to be a screenshot of a Google AI overview response, and was captioned: “Is the coercion”, alongside a thinking emoji.

The picture read: “Yes, coercion is illegal”, suggesting the search prompt could have asked whether coercion was a crime.

It continued: “Coercion is the act of forcing someone to do something against their will through threats or intimidation.

“It can involve physical harm, psychological abuse, extortion, blackmail or sexual assault.”

Kanye’s post disappeared minutes after it was published.

Last week Kanye wrote in X: “I HAVE DOMINION OVER MY WIFE THIS AINT NO WOKE AS FEMINIST S***.

“YES I DONT MAKE HER DO NOTHING SHE DOESNT WANT TO BUT SHE DEFINITELY WOULDNT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IT WITHOUT MY APPROVAL.”

He and Bianca, 30, are allegedly heading for divorce just 11 days after her nak3d-dress stunt at the Grammy’s.

The parting couple have verbally agreed that Bianca will walk away with $5million of cash after the short-lived marriage, it’s been reported.

The pair tied the knot in December 2022, but a source close to the Ye claimed they have now broken up and will begin legal divorce filings shortly, according to the Mail.

Bianca is understood to be staying at their $35million mansion in Beverly Park North in Los Angeles, and Kanye has been staying at the Four Season hotel in the city, a source told The Sun US.

A source claimed: “Bianca has always stood by him, but things have not been good after his rants, and she’s still at the house.”

A separate source said the relationship has been rocky since the very beginning.

They said: “Back in 2022 after his first anti-semitic rant he posted a song days later, called Censori Overload.

“In it, there was a line saying: ‘Woke up to I can’t do this anymore texts.’

“They have been very up and down from the beginning. Bianca has put up with a lot but the Hitler and Nazi rants are often too much for her.”

However, a third source told The U.S. Sun that the couple could easily get back together at any time.

And to add further confusion, Milo Yiannopolous, Kanye and Bianca’s rep, denied the divorce rumors.

“Ye and Bianca are in Los Angeles about to enjoy Valentine’s Day together,” Yiannopolous told The Hollywood Reporter.

The pair turned heads last week when they hit the Grammys red carpet together – and Bianca was completely nak3d in an “invisible” dress that revealed every bit of her private body parts.

Commenters have said she was visibly unhappy on the red carpet when Kanye instructed her to drop her fur coat – in a spectacle the rapper’s friends have insisted was his idea of “art”.

And The US Sun exclusively reported that the pair appeared to be arguing just moments before pulling the shocking PR stunt.

Actress and social media star Riley Mae Lewis, who was standing near the couple on the red carpet, told The US Sun the pair had a “weird energy.”

Riley said: “She didn’t look like was fully onboard with the scandal he wanted to create on the carpet.

“The energy between the two seemed off, and a lot of people on the carpet thought the exact same thing.

“It makes me concerned for what their relationship is like behind the scenes.

“When I saw him, he kind of gave me a flirty look even though Bianca was right next to him… the whole situation was weird.”

The day after the Grammy’s, Kanye wrote on X: “My wife’s first red carpet opened a whole new world. I keep staring at this photo like I was staring in admiration that night Thinking wow I am so lucky to have a wife that is so smart talented brave and hot.”

He hit headlines around the world in the following days with foul-mouthed social media rants claiming he was God, applauding Hitler and ladling out vicious abuse to various groups of people.

He was temporarily banned from X but allowed back online on Thursday after deleting most of his offensive content.

He claimed the rants had been a “social experiment”.

The rapper – who has said he has autism – also bought an ad slot at the Super Bowl for his clothing line – which had been stripped back to just one item: a $20 t-shirt branded with the Nazi swastika.

He previously labelled the design his “greatest art”.

The rapper’s inner circle felt he was “ramping up” at his Grammys after-party and predicted he was soon headed for a meltdown similar to his past manic episodes.
