Kanye West's controversial instructions

Just before the dramatic moment, Kanye West was seen giving firm instructions to security. A lip reader told the 'Daily Mail' that the rapper said: "Push that out of the way. … That person right there." and later added: "Push him out. There."

These orders were likely intended to ensure the cameras had an unobstructed view of the scene. Kanye’s involvement in the planning of the provocative moment was clear.

West also gave specific instructions to his wife, Bianca, to ensure everything went according to plan. LipReader’s Nicola Hickling reported that West told Censori, according to the 'Daily Mail': "You're making a scene now," to which she nodded. Kanye added, "Make a scene, I'll say it'll make so much sense."

Hickling also revealed that Kanye instructed Bianca: "Drop it behind you and then turn around, I’ve got you," urging her to drop her coat.

Bianca Censori's courageous appearance

Censori, known for her daring fashion choices, initially wore a long black fur coat. The shocking moment occurred when she removed the coat, revealing the sheer dress with no underwear.

Kanye, nominated for "Best Rap Song," closely watched the scene unfold. Despite the backlash, he defended the stunt as art: "People have called it a stunt, but for Ye, it's his art."

After the event, Kanye shared on Instagram that Bianca became the most Googled person in the world, with around five million people searching for her.
