Dave Portnoy said he “hates” Kanye West after the rapper and his wife Bianca pulled a controversial stunt on the 2025 Grammy’s red carpet last night (February 2).
“I hate Kayne so much. #grammy,” the Barstool Sports founder wrote on X/Twitter next to a picture of the artist and the Australian Model on the carpet.
Before the 67th annual awards ceremony kicked off inside the Crypto.com arena, West, 47, posed next to Censori, 30, who wore nothing but a nude, see-through mini dress that revealed her naked body. The two reportedly skipped the show itself and took off after the red carpet.
“When is the last time Kanye made headlines for his talent as opposed to just being a jacka** or shock value,” Portnoy, 47, continued alongside a video of the moment Censori dropped her furry overcoat on the carpet.
“I picture Taylor [Swift] just snapping her fingers and the #grammy police whisking these 2 psychos away,” he added in a separate tweet a few minutes later.
West and Censori, who have been married for about three years, have developed a reputation for Censori wearing scandalous, barely-there outfits styled by her husband.
The couple’s 2025 Grammys appearance was met with a tidal wave of backlash by numerous viewers watching the red carpet at home.
“I have no words for how disgusting and evil this is,” one person on X wrote, while another agreed: “Seriously, what is the point of this? The two of them need help.”
West took design credit for his partner’s outfit on X, writing: “Custom couture Grammy dress for the most beautiful woman ever. My love, my best friend, my wife.”
Last year, Censori risked being taken into custody when she donned sheer tights and a see-through top, exposing her groin and nipples.
Speaking to Page Six, an insider offered up an explanation for the A-list couple’s stunt. “The crazy outfit moment they pulled on the carpet was an attempt to replicate the album cover of Vultures.”
West’s 2024 Vultures I album cover featured the “Heartless” rapper standing next to Censori with an all-black face covering. Meanwhile, Censori is pictured facing backward in thigh-high black boots and a small piece of black fabric folded over her behind.
Following last night’s awards ceremony, West and Censori were seen engaging in some heavy PDA at one afterparty in Los Angeles. The controversial musician, who was previously married to Kim Kardashian, was photographed grabbing onto his wife’s bare bottom as she stuck her tongue out to meet his lips.
