A lip reader has revealed the brusque command Kanye West gave security staff moments before his wife Bianca Censori shocked the world by stripping entirely naked.
Censori, 30, sparked worldwide outrage as she bared all at the 2025 Grammys in Los Angeles on Sunday, alongside her covered-up husband Kanye West.
The designer who has previously shocked with her risque displays, shrugged off her fur coat to reveal a completely see-through nude mesh dress worn without underwear – before rumours swirled that the pair were ‘kicked out.’
Just moments prior to the indecent exposure stunt, Kanye was seen furiously whispering to red carpet staff as the couple prepared to have their photographs taken.
The rapper animatedly gestured towards the red carpet as he issued instructions – suggesting he was the brains behind the risque photoshoot – in footage captured by Access Hollywood.
Lip reader Jeremy Freeman has now told FEMAIL what Kanye said, as he appeared to take command of the situation.
Kanye said: ‘Does that make sense, push that out of the way…that person right there…’
He then told staff to ‘push him out, there…’, clearly wanting the cameras to get an unobstructed view.

West was then seen issuing commands to Censori, moments before she bared all.
Lip reader Nicola Hickling said he told Censori, wearing a black fur coat over a mesh ensemble with no underwear: ‘You’re making a scene now.’
She nodded her head and he told her: ‘Make a scene, I’ll say it’ll make so much sense.’ He added: ‘Drop it behind you and then turn, I got you.’ She then tells him: ‘Alright, let’s go.’
Bianca exuded confidence as she headed to the carpet clad in a furry coat, before theatrically dropping the garment and flashing her bare derriere to photographers.
She turned around to show off her topless chest and lack of underwear while West – nominated in the Best Rap Song category – leered at her nude body during the incident of indecent exposure.
The star paired this with a nude heels and a touch of make-up. In contrast, West, 47, donned a demure black outfit and shades.
Kanye later hit out at outrage to the stunt as he dismissed the ceremony as ‘boring’ and called Bianca’s outfit ‘art’.
‘People have called this a stunt but to Ye this is his art,’ a source told The Sun.
‘He turned up, made headlines around the world and left. No one told him what to do and even if they had, he wouldn’t have listened.

‘Ye always planned to do the red carpet and leave — he’d never sit through the Grammys because it’s so dull and boring.’
UK-based body language expert Judi James said she saw a ‘flicker of fear’ in Bianca’s eyes.
The rapper, 47, told Bianca, 30, to ‘drop’ her outer layer on the red carpet in Los Angeles and she obliged, removing it to reveal a completely see-through nude mesh dress, worn without underwear.
She then turned around to show off her topless chest and lack of underwear while West – nominated in the Best Rap Song category – leered at her nude body.
However, friends have since insisted that the rapper is not controlling her, and the shock nudity was a carefully planned out statement by the designer herself.
A close friend of the couple, who married in secret in December 2022, furiously slammed the speculation, insisting Censori is a ‘willing participant’ who was empowered by her husband to make a statement about ‘simplicity and provocation’.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com they described how West creates the outfits with his Yeezy designers, Censori included, and declared an arrest for indecent exposure would have strengthened the couple’s message.

But rapper Kanye has now hit out at outrage to the stunt as he dismissed the ceremony as ‘boring’ and called Bianca’s outfit ‘art’
‘Bianca is not being forced at all,’ they said. ‘She is a willing participant in this, and she is not controlled by Kanye. They build these looks together, sharing ideas and vision against the establishment of fashion and culture.
‘Ye is empowering Bianca, and Bianca loves this. They are doing this together, so any suggestion that they are not in on this together is false.’
It was reported the pair were asked to leave the event after turning up uninvited, and escorted out by cops after their ‘crazy stunt.’ However another source said they ‘left of their own accord’ and the exact narrative remains unclear.
Music industry insiders were also questioning if his swift exit was down to his feud with Taylor Swift.
The stunt is said to have lost Kanye a $20 million deal to play in Japan, according to sources in Tokyo.

West, 47, had signed up to do two shows at the Tokyo Dome in May, but following the naked stunt on the red carpet of the Grammys on Sunday night with his wife Bianca Censori, his investors have taken fright.
A source said: ‘Kanye is just ****ing up every opportunity that comes to him. The stunt was creepy beyond belief and has been greeted with horror in Japan.’
He added: ‘Japan is having a cultural awakening about women’s rights and the MeToo movement is really strong here. What he did is being seen as an act of coercive control which is utterly unacceptable. He has completely culturally misjudged Japan.’
This is unfortunate as he has been living in a hotel in Tokyo for most of the last year.
West and Censori left the event soon after the red carpet walk, and were pictured getting into a waiting limo.
A source said: ‘The investors in Japan who are backing the concerts are extremely upset by this. It is highly likely that they will pull the funding for the shows.
‘He has greatly misjudged the tolerance of the Japanese people towards these activities. He’s just not welcome any more. This will be a big blow for him because he has been living in Japan for around a year now, almost full time, and I guess he did not see this coming.’

There have been increasing calls for Kanye and his wife Bianca to be barred from future red carpet events.
Following the incident, many fans expressed their disapproval on social media and called for Kanye — who reportedly lost a $20million deal following the stunt — and his wife to be banned from future events.
On Monday, The View‘s host Alyssa Farah Griffin, 35, shared a similar sentiment, calling the moment a ‘low’ point, and stating that she didn’t want Kanye or his wife on red carpets.
‘I don’t even want to dignify this other than to say: Kanye West, I don’t want to see him on red carpets anymore,’ she stated.
‘I hope that his partner is OK, because that whole thing was very uncomfortable, I think, for most women, to watch, and I just — I don’t want to see it or hear from it any further.’
She was not the only celebrity to publicly express her distaste at the X-rated stunt.
Former View co-host Meghan McCain shared in a since-deleted post on X, ‘I just want and have wanted for years — for Kanye West to leave us all the hell alone. He’s a repugnant, vile piece of garbage and his wife looks like a victim and a hostage.’
Her representative later told Entertainment Weekly that McCain deleted the post on ‘accident’ and that she still thinks West is a ‘vile pig.’
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy also slammed the shocking red carpet moment.
He took to X, sharing a photo of Kanye and Bianca from the red carpet, writing in the caption, ‘I hate Kayne [sic] so much.’

‘It’s shocking but also so sad. that’s someone’s daughter that he’s brainwashed,’; ‘This just isn’t appropriate,’;
‘This can’t be real,’; ‘Somebody should censori her and kanye,’; ‘Her eyes are screaming help…,’;
‘She needs to just put all that away… i’m all for women and empowering bodies and stuff but like, bruh this???’;
‘Is this woman genuinely okay she looked so uncomfortable taking her that coat off in the video on the carpet,’;
‘Aren’t there laws against this sort of thing???’; ‘She’s being held hostage.’
Not content with garnering the world’s attention on the red carpet, West dropped an advert for his Yeezy clothing brand on select broadcasts of the show.
The clip showed T-shirts, shoes and sweaters priced at as little as $20 an item. There was also merchandise with the title of the rapper’s new album, Bully, on.
