Kanye West breaks silence on being 'kicked out of the Grammys' in furious social media post

Kanye West has addressed the rumor that he and his wife, Bianca Censori, were 'kicked out of the Grammys'.

On Sunday (February 2), the rap-mogul, 47, and his 30-year-old partner made headlines around the world for their 'performance' on the red carpet.

West, dressed all in black with some shades on, whispered in his Aussie wife's ear as she turned her back to the paparazzi and slowly dropped her black fur coat to reveal a transparent mesh dress - with no underwear on.

Shortly after the couple made their appearance, it was reported that they had left - with a frenzy taking place on social media as many speculated the pair had been 'kicked out' of the 67th Grammy Awards ceremony.

Now, the 47-year-old has slammed former CNN broadcast journalist Don Lemon, accusing him of pedalling the false rumor.

Sharing a post of Lemon on social media, West captioned it: "This the goofball that started the rumor that me and my wife got kicked out the Grammies 3 decades of innovating music and they always K***S like this."

The post has since been deleted.

Lemon has since replied to West with a video on his Instagram account.

"First of all, Kanye... Ye, yay - whatever your name is. I did not start a rumor about you being kicked out of the Grammys, I actually corrected it," he explained.

"I saw someone on your team who asked me to correct it because it had been reported everywhere. So first of all, get your s*** straight, and you of all people calling me a k**n. That 'Make America Great Again' hat must be too tight on your head."

Meanwhile, a source close to West told The Sun on Sunday that the rapper allegedly used the Grammys to celebrate 'art' through his wife.

"People have called this a stunt but to Ye this is his art," they said.

"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."

While on the red carpet, it seems as if West gave his wife some words of encouragement.

"I’ll tell 'em you're on fire tonight, babe," the rapper said, according to lip-reader, Nicola Hickling, who spoke to the Mirror.
