According to reports, Kanye West and his “wife” Bianca Censori have been kicked out of a Venice boat company after their recent behavior aboard one of their boats.
The rapper, who legally changed his name to “Ye” in 2021, was photographed with Australian architectural designer Censori enjoying a boat tour of Venice in late August.
However, some of the images showed the couple in a somewhat compromising position. West, 46, appeared with his pants down and his butt in the air, while Censori, 28, appeared crouching between her legs.
Following the publication of the photos, the yacht company issued a statement stating that the famous couple were no longer welcome on any future voyages. Both West and Censori have been banned from using the company’s services.
A spokesman for Venezia Turismo Motoscafi – whose celebrity clientele includes Lady Gaga, Harry Styles and Ben Affleck – explained that the driver did not see “those obscenities” because he was aware of traffic on the water.
The statement added that if the driver had witnessed the couple engaging in any lewd behavior, he would have “immediately disembarked and reported the offenders to the authorities.”
“In addition, there was a third person on board the taxi, accompanying Mr. and Mrs. West, who in any case obstructed the captain’s view astern,” the statement read.

“We completely disassociate ourselves from such acts and behavior. Mr. West and his wife will certainly no longer be welcome aboard our company’s ships.”
The Independent has contacted representatives for Censori and West for comment.
