Police Investigate Kanye West And Wife Bianca Censori Over Their ‘Compromising Position’ On A River Boat And Will Quiz Driver To Speak On What He Saw
Police are investigating Kanye West and his ‘wife’ Bianca Censori after they were caught on camera in a ”compromising position’ during their Italian holiday.
The couple sparked controversy last week in the romantic city of Venice after West exposed his bare buttocks while on a boat and Bianca was seen kneeling in front of him.
In other images, the American rapper, 46, was seen seated at the back of a river taxi while Australian Bianca, 28, had her head in his lap.
A Venice police source said: ‘There are standards of public decorum that have to be followed by tourists and locals alike and any breaches are severely punished.
‘The images of West with his trousers down while in a taxi as he and his partner crossed the lagoon were seen all over the globe.
‘You could clearly see his trousers were half down and we have received complaints from people who witnessed it. Now we have identified the driver of the boat and we will be asking him what he saw as well.
‘The images show the couple clearly in a state of intimacy and if the local prosecutor decides to press charges then we will notify the couple, most probably through the relevant embassies.
‘The offence being investigated is acts contrary to public decency which is punishable by an administrative sanction.’
Elisabetta Pesce, councillor for public security in Venice, told MailOnline: ‘Without any shadow of doubt what we saw from the couple was a lack of respect for Venice, which is the most enchanting city in the world.’
A source close to the city’s mayor Luigi Brugnaro said: ‘By chance the monthly meeting on public security is imminent and this sort of behaviour will be discussed.
‘Venice is famous for being one of the most beautiful cities in the world and we expect tourists to maintain a respectable level of decency when visiting.
‘These public acts of spectacle are not what we or the millions of tourists who come here each year wish to see and we take a very dim view of it.
‘We can only hope that the prosecutor imposes a fine and then the couple will think long and hard about their behaviour if they return to Venice in the future.’
A spokesman for Venezia Turismo Motascafi – the firm that owned the boat the couple were on, said that it was ‘completely unaware’ of the incident.
They added the pair would have been kicked off the boat if the driver had noticed their public exposure.
It went on: ‘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.’
The Italian rental company noted that the ‘third person on board the taxi’ who was riding with Ye and Ms Censori had ‘obstructed the captain’s view’ to the back of the boat.
The company has since banned the couple from using their boats in the future.
‘We completely dissociate ourselves from such acts and behaviour. Mr West and his wife will certainly no longer be welcome on board our company’s boats.’

Meet the Man Who Turned Hype Into a Science: Emmy Blaq, Nigeria’s G.O.A.T. of Hype
If you have ever been at a Nigerian event and found yourself on your feet before the main act even stepped on stage, there is a good chance a hype man was responsible. But not just any hype man. Emmy Blaq, born Ikechukwu Emmanuel Chima and raised in Auchi, Edo State, has spent the last few years quietly becoming the most talked-about name in that profession, and the Nigerian press has taken notice. Punch, Vanguard, The Guardian Nigeria, The Nation, and Independent Newspaper have all sat down with him, and every conversation leads back to the same thing: this man does not just make noise; he makes moments.
What makes Emmy Blaq different is the journey behind the energy. Before the stages, the collaborations with Waje on her “Waje 2.0” album, DJ Consequence, and DJ Kaywise on the massively streamed “Joor Party Mix” series, he was repairing generators, cutting hair, and sewing clothes in Auchi. His first professional hype gig happened at a local fast food spot called Valchi, and the crowd response that night changed everything. He told The Nation directly: “My passion for entertainment and desire to make people happy led me into the craft.” Punch also captured his bigger mission when he said that hype men deserve more than what they currently earn, a statement that sparked a real conversation across Nigerian entertainment circles.
With over 1.7 million TikTok followers, 23.6 million TikTok likes, a viral “Wife Material” challenge that landed on Pulse Nigeria’s top ten social media moments of 2021, and an international performance at the Cameroon International Music Festival that Cameroonian media described as electrifying, Emmy Blaq is not building toward something. He is already there. The G.O.A.T. of Hype is not a title he gave himself and hoped would stick. It is one the rooms keep confirming every single time he grabs the mic.
