Kanye West issues emotional statement following controversy surrounding wife Bianca Censori's NSFW Grammys outfit
Kanye West has gushed about his wife amid the backlash they've both received for her daring Grammys outfit.
West was joined on the Grammys red carpet by Bianca Censori on Sunday night (February 2), and Censori quickly went on to become one of the 'most Googled people on the planet'.
The 30-year-old Australian model sported a sheer dress that left nothing to the imagination.

People have since shared their concerns for Censori, with some suggesting that she was coerced by the rapper into wearing the NSFW outfit.
But sources close to them have insisted that Censori is West's 'muse' and that 'there’s no coercion involved'.
"This is what Ye does," the insider added to The Sun. "He makes a statement and the whole world talks about it."
Now West has issued a lengthy, emotional statement about Censori and gushed about how 'lucky' he is to have her as his wife.
Taking to Twitter, the 'CARNIVAL' hitmaker said: "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.
"She took a break from shooting her first film to make a movie in real life. We tailored that invisible dress 6 times. And just like magic poof, we disappeared.
"Thank you to all the outlets who recognized us and gave us back the energy we put in."
West went on to thank American Vogue for its article on Censori titled 'The Naked Truth About Bianca Censori’s Grammys Look', which the rapper said placed her in a 'strong positive light and also recognizes rightful strength'.
West went on: "People asked how would your mother feel. You don’t know my mama b***h."
There were concerns that Censori would face repercussions for her racy ensemble, but it's been reported that no complaints were officially made about her outfit.
The Recording Academy and AEG, who are responsible for putting the Grammys on annual telecast every year, confirmed to New York Post that they've not received any complaints during or after the awards ceremony.
No complaints were made to the Los Angeles Police Department either, reported TMZ.
The California Penal Code 314 (1) defines indecent exposure as 'when a person exposes his or her naked body or genitals in front of anyone who could be annoyed or offended by it'.
While the internet appeared to be offended by the 'dress', apparently no one was aggrieved enough to file any official complaints.
