Online footage shows the moment controversial artist Kanye West snatched a female reporter’s phone when she questioned whether he was “controlling” his 29-year-old wife, Bianca Censori. The reporter was wondering if her well-being was a concern.
The TMZ reporter asked Kanye West, who had his face hidden, as he was making his way to Charlie Wilson’s Walk of Fame ceremony on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles: “People want to know if Bianca has her free will.”
“Some people are saying that you’re controlling,” she added.
The rapper launched into a three-minute rant toward the reporter, asking her, “Are you crazy?”
“You think because you’re a white woman, you can walk up on me like that and ask me some dumbass s**t like that asking me about my wife, if she has free will? Are you crazy?”
“You got free will, or you work for the devil?” West asked the reporter, demanding she tell him her full name and address.
“You asked me does my wife has free will. Was that a d*mb-a, disrespectful question to come to ask a grown-a superhero?”
The reporter attempted to apologise but Kanye West pressed on, questioning if it was her place to ask invasive questions about celebrities’ private lives.

“Is that your job to go up to every celebrity and ask them some dumb ass shit about their wife?” the rapper asked.
“Answer the question. I am supposed to answer your questions, answer my questions.”
After asking the reporter how much money she made, West offered to pay her twice as much as she did during their altercation.
This happens just after Kanye West received harsh backlash on social media for posting explicit pictures of Censori on his Instagram page.
