AN X user @Am_Blujay, has posted a digitally manipulated image of Kanye West’s wife Bianca Censori on his X page.
The image showed Kanye and his wife, with the wife wearing a long fur coat that touched her ankle.
In the post made on April 7, 2024, but which is still going viral, the X post read:
“Kanye heard yall complaining that her wife walks naked then boom”
The image was posted on Saturday, April 7th, 2024, and since its inception, it has garnered over 17.7 million views, 285, 000 likes, 3,000 comments, and 17,000 reposts.
CLAIM
Manipulated image of Kanye West’s wife Bianca Censori wearing a long Fur Coat
THE FINDINGS
Findings by The FactCheckHub show that the claim is MISLEADING!
A reverse image search conducted on the image showed that in the original image, Bianca wore a short fur coat and not the long fur coat as portrayed in the viral image.
Findings showed that reputable new agencies like the DailyMail had published the original and unaltered image on March 30, 2024.
Further search also led us to a video posted on Instagram which showed the two of them during the outing further confirming that the image in circulation had been altered.
THE VERDICT
The claim shows that the image of Kanye West’s wife Bianca Censori wearing a long fur coat is MISLEADING; findings show that she was wearing a short fur coat and the image was manipulated.
