Kanye West has had a busy few weeks with his Grammy Awards stunt, vile socia media rant and most recently, his supposed split from Bianca Censori.

It is thought that couple have verbally agreed the Australian model, 30, will get a $5million payment following the breakdown of their marriage. Kanye and Bianca tied the knot at the end of 2022 just weeks after the musician had completed his divorce from Kim Kardashian.

However, a source had claimed the pair have new gone their separate ways. The couple haven’t spoken on the claims but Kanye broke his silence by sharing a definition of the word ‘coercion’. The post was accompanied by a caption which read: “Is the coercion,” alongside a thoughtful emoji, which comes after he said he had ‘dominion’ over his wife.

Bianca, who was accused of being Kim’s copycat, now has one more thing in common with socialite Kim as they both dated, married then left Kanye. Over the years, many fans have wondered about the trio’s relationship as Bianca was often seen hanging out and looking after Kanye’s four children – North, 11, Saint, nine, Chicago, seven, and Psalm, five – with Kim.

The pair are said to have been civil with each other and Kim has not said anything publicly about her ex’s wife. However, she posted a defiant response after she kept being compared to Bianca over a series of snaps with a photo of herself sporting the same bob hairstyle and when she was a teen.  

In the sassy comeback, which sees her wearing a red and white polka dot bikini, she posted the photo and simply wrote the year it was taken in the caption: “1994” – despite the subtlety, the message to her critics was well and truly received.

One said: “Showing the people she been rockin her hair like this before home girl was born” another added: “Did the short slicked hair since she was a teen”, while a third cheered: “She said LET ME SHOW YALL IVE BEEN LOOKED LIKE YE’S FUTURE EX WIFE…although I am the OG ex wife”. And another added: “PERIOD!! they can never play with you Kimmie! BEEN THERE DONE THAT!”

Days before Bianca and Ye’s reported split, he went on a homophobic, antisemitic and misogynist rant on X, formerly known as Twitter. He also said he had ‘dominion’ over his wife. “I HAVE DOMINION OVER MY WIFE. THIS AIN’T NO WOKE A** FEMINIST S***. SHE’S WITH A BILLIONAIRE, WHY WOULD SHE LISTEN TO ANY OF YOU DUMB*** BROKE B*****. PEOPLE SAY THE RED CARPET LOOK WAS HER DECISION. YES I DON’T MAKE HER DO NOTHING. SHE DOESN’T WANT TO, BUT SHE DEFINITELY WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IT WITHOUT MY APPROVAL,” he wrote.

“YOU STUPID A** WOKE PAWNS I HAVE NO RESPECT OR EMPATHY FOR ANYONE LIVING CAUSE NOBODY LIVING CAN F*** WITH ME BUT I DO LOVE SOME PEOPLE AND I GIVE THEM FAVOR.”

Kanye’s split from Bianca is also said to be causing trouble for the pair over his new project. “Bianca is deeply traumatised by Ye’s actions,” a source said, “She does not align with these views at all. She is horrified by what he has done, as are so many people close to Ye, she is so put off by this that she is currently refusing to continue shooting.”

Award winning rapper Stormzy has been accused of “selling out” and abandoning his principles following his latest campaign with fast food chain McDonald’s.

Fans of the Vossi Bop hitmaker, 31, have noticed an Instagram post advocating for a free Palestine shared by British artist in 2023 no longer appears on his page, with some falsely alleging he deleted it prior to agreeing to do an advert for McDonald’s. The advert has even prompted a response from former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, who has branded the collaboration as “hugely disappointing.”

“Stormzy, you went from speaking out for Palestine to wiping your posts for a McDonald’s deal? Guess your principles are as cheap as fast food, served with a side of hypocrisy,” one Instagram user penned underneath McDonalds and Stormzy’s post on Wednesday, with another adding: “Enjoy your blood money and burgers.” A third added: “These celebrities don’t have an ounce of integrity. One moment it’s ‘free Palestine’ and the next its brand deals with McDonalds. Stormzy ain’t no goat what a fucking melt

Many who stand in solidarity with Palestine have been boycotting McDonalds over recent months due to the fast food restaurants past links to Israel and its army. While McDonalds isn’t on the official Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions (BDS) Movement list of companies to boycott, the BDS has endorsed the social media led movement and supported calls to stop spending money with the business.

Stormzy’s involvement with McDonalds has come as a surprise to some given his past vocal support for Palestine, with many assuming he would adhere to all boycotts linked to the BDS. The advert’s release on Wednesday coincides with fans noticing Stormzy has at some point removed several posts from his Instagram page, including one stating that he will always “be on the side of the oppressed”.

In October 2023, after reuniting with Maya Jama, Stormzy shared a list of 14 “fleeting thoughts” with his 3.4million followers. In the lengthy caption, Stormzy declared “Free Palestine”, said he will “be on the side of the oppressed” and admitted he was considering having a hair transplant before revealing his dream of having a child.

His 10th though read: “My 3 aspirations in life since I turned 30 is to just be a better Man of God, to hopefully become a Dad one day and to serve others.” Since sharing the post over a year ago, Stormzy and Love Island host Maya have split once again. It is not known exactly when the musician deleted or archived this specific post but other images have seemingly been erased from his main feed, with 19 posts still visible. The Mirror understands Stormzy archived a number of posts – including the one mentioning Palestine – last year.

On Wednesday, McDonalds launched The Stormzy Meal, consisting on nine chicken nuggets, fries, BBQ dips, a Sprite Zero and an Oreo McFlurry OR apple pie. “The Stormzy Meal. Big Mike x McD’s. Available now,” Stormzy captioned the advert promoting the special on Instagram. The post has been flooded with negative comments but the ability to comment has not yet been limited.

Many Palestinian solidarity movements have boycotted McDonalds since October 2023 after Israeli McDonalds franchises announced it would donate free meals to the Israeli military amid the war on Palestine. In April 2024 it was announced that McDonalds would buy its 30-year-old Israel franchise from Alonyal, taking back ownership of 225 outlets, amid the social media led boycott.

On Thursday, Jeremy Corbyn called on Stormzy to cut ties with McDonalds and admitted it was “hugely disappointing” to see the rapper collaborate with the brand. Corbyn, who was supported by Stormzy during his time as Labour Party leader, shared the open letter on the Peace & Justice Project website.

“Israel’s sustained oppression of the Palestinian people has been well-documented for many years, and worldwide attention to the movement for a free Palestine has peaked since the start of the genocide in Gaza,” an extract from the letter reads. “Stormzy’s decision to partner with McDonald’s allows them to culture-wash their reputation as caterers of genocide in Gaza.

“We are therefore asking Stormzy to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people in their hour of need and respect the BDS committee’s call for a global boycott of McDonald’s by ending his new partnership with them.” The site then urged readers to “Write to Stormzy and his management team using our tool below and ask him to cut ties with McDonald’s.”

The Mirror has approached representatives for Stormzy for comment on this story.

You can snag the discount on the black version of the FitFlop Shearling-Collar Suede Slippers in sizes 5, 6 and 7, with sizes 9s enjoying an even bigger discount down to £78. The other sizes are currently sold out, as are the tan colourway at the moment, with no word on when they’ll be back in stock, so you’ll need to be quick if you want to snap up the remaining sizes.

However if you’re after the other sizes, the FitFlop website still has sizes 3 to 6.5 in stock in the black colourway, with all sizes now £90. You can also pick them up in chocolate brown for £96 (down from £120) or metallic silver, now £84.

One did mention: “These look like lovely slippers but if you’re after the support that the FitFlop microwobble board gives you then these aren’t for you. My mistake. I get confused with the different styles. I only buy FitFlop for that reason. The only shoes/ boots that support me without my insoles. So in conclusion these look lovely but not if you need the extra support.”

However another wrote: “FitFlops have become very expensive these days. However I decided to splurge cause I work from home and they are warm and feet never become achy. Overall I’m usually never disappointed with FitFlops.”

Bianca Censori made a creepy two-word comment to Kanye West just days before they reportedly split up, according to a lip reader.

The rapper and his model wife hit headlines at the Grammys last week with Bianca’s naked dress stunt and the pair were later seen dancing at an after-party.

Bianca, 30, wore an “invisible” see-through mesh dress on the red carpet before they partied up a storm at the Living Room Club in Los Angeles alongside celebrities like ex-TOWIE star Jake Hall.

Expert lip reader Jeremy Freeman studied a video of the pair dancing and spotted a comment Bianca made to her other half, seemingly referencing his nickname for her.

According to Jeremy, Bianca was seen turning to Kanye and whispering “Daddy’s girl”, before Kanye replied “Yeah”.

It wasn’t the only creepy comments picked up from the Grammys between the pair. Another lip reader spotted Kanye “giving an order” to Bianca moments before she stripped naked on the red carpet.

Since the controversy, and the loved up display seen at the nightclub between the two, a lot has happened. Dad-of-four Kanye has been widely condemned for bizarre and vile antisemitic rants on X.

And according to reports, the rapper, 47, is now staying at the Four Seasons hotel in LA while his wife resides at their $35 million estate in Beverly Hills.

A source told The U.S. Sun: “Bianca has always stood by him, but things have not been good after his rants, and she’s still at the house.” Another source added: “Bianca has put up with a lot but the Hitler and Nazi rants are often too much for her.”

But Milo Yiannopolous, the representative for the couple, has since denied divorce rumours and insisted they were preparing for a Valentine’s Day together.

A statement given to the Hollywood Reporter reads: “Ye and Bianca are in Los Angeles, about to enjoy Valentine’s Day together. Announcements about their private life will come from them directly, not unsourced rumour in the tabloid press. Is this the fifth or is it the sixth time the press has wrongly reported that Ye and Bianca are separating? I’ve lost track.”

The fallout came just days after Kanye’s disturbing comments online where he claimed to “own” Bianca. He added: “I have dominion over my wife. This ain’t no woke a** feminist s**t.”

Kanye and Bianca became a couple not long after the music mogul’s split from ex-wife Kim Kardashian. They secretly got married one year later and Bianca’s nude outfits have caused controversies ever since.

After divorce rumours emerged, Kanye posted a cryptic post on social media, which disappeared minutes later.

He shared a Google AI definition of “coercion” with the caption: Yes, coercion is illegal. Coercion is the act of forcing someone to do something against their will through threats or intimidation. It can involve physical harm, psychological abuse, extortion, blackmail or sexual assault.”

An EastEnders star has said she felt “emotional” reuniting with a former colleague for the show’s 40th anniversary.

The BBC show – which debuted back in 1985 – will mark the milestone occasion next week. The celebrations are set to include a live episode, in which the result of a public vote to decide the outcome of a love triangle will be revealed.

A documentary, EastEnders: 40 Years on The Square, will also be released for the anniversary. The hour-long special, fronted by Ross Kemp, will revisit “iconic moments” and “groundbreaking storylines,” as well as providing a behind-the-scenes look at the soap through interviews with stars.

Anita Dobson, 75, is among the former cast members who will appear in the new documentary. The actor played Angie Watts and made her debut in the first episode. She then remained on the show for three years before leaving in 1988.

Angie is particularly remembered for her relationship with husband Den Watts (played by the late Leslie Grantham), with whom she ran the Queen Vic pub. More than 30 million viewers are said to have tune in on Christmas Day in 1986 when Den served Angie divorce papers in an iconic scene. She left Walford two years later and died off-screen in 2002.

Former cast member Anita reminisced about the show whilst at its production base in Hertfordshire for the documentary. As reported by Metro, she reunited with on-screen daughter Letitia Dean, 57, who plays Sharon Watts, on set.

Asked how it feels to be together again, Anita says: “Absolutely wonderful! I feel very emotional, very happy.” The outlet reports that she goes on to say that Letitia “looks beautiful” and expresses her love for her former co-star.

Letitia – who is herself an original cast member of EastEnders – describes Anita as having been “like a second mum” to her when they worked together. Teasing their bond off-screen, Anita adds: “She was the baby girl I never had.”

Anita isn’t the only former cast member back for 40 Years on The Square. Others interviewed for the documentary include Pam St Clement, who played Pat Butcher, and Lucy Benjamin, who’s played Lisa Fowler on the long-running soap.

The documentary will air on Monday ahead of EastEnders’ 40th anniversary on Wednesday. A “special” hour-long episode will air that evening for the occasion ahead of the subsequent live episode then being broadcast on Thursday.

It was announced just days ago that episodes next week will be released on BBC iPlayer simultaneously with them airing on BBC One at 7.30pm. Episodes are typically released on the streaming platform as early as 6am prior to being broadcast.

EastEnders: 40 Years on The Square will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 8pm on Monday.
