Kanye snubs 'cheating' scandal with wife Bianca as he slams streaming sites
Kanye West has avoided talking about his ongoing 'cheating' scandal with wife Bianca Censori – appearing to change the subject.
The controversial Bound 2 rapper was exposed for messaging influencer Bryce Hall's girlfriend Mikaela Lafuente while wedlock to Bianca. The couple tied the knot back in December 2022, just one month after he finalised his divorce from Kim Kardashian.
Now his marriage has been thrown up in the air after DMs showing him asking Mikaela if she wanted to hang out in California were leaked by Bryce on X, formally Twitter. But ignoring the ordeal altogether, Kanye had something else to say on his own social media.

Taking to Instagram after the messages were shared, Ye didn't address the elephant in the room. Instead, he shared a rant about streaming sites such as Spotify not paying artists enough money, including social media apps like TikTok and music agents.
Kris Jenner blasted for giving Kim 'worst advice' on Kanye's erratic behaviour"If we want quality music somebody is gonna have to pay for it," the post read – with no reference to the Bianca scandal. "Streaming services don't pay properly, labels want a bigger cut than ever and just sit and wait for you to go viral, TikTok doesn't pay properly, and touring is getting prohibitively expensive for most artists."
As Bryce shared Ye's DMs, he wrote, "Kanye is sliding on my girlfriend.. someone tell Kim," referring to Kanye's ex-wife Kim. In the picture Kanye could be seen telling Mikaela: "Back in Cali". Bryce then shared a follow-up post with more messages.
When Mikaela asked Kanye what he meant by his initial message, he said: "Are you in California or the states." She replied: "Yes why?" Kanye then explained: "Wanted to see if you wanted to hang and listen to the new album."
Alongside the screenshot, Bryce wrote: "Cmon ye… at least invite me to the hang and listen session." He then seemed to challenge Kanye to a fight, writing: "My bareknuckle opponent for the LA show is kanye btw… we’re just hyping the fight a bit, stay tuned."

The allegations against Kanye come despite the fact he is happily married to Bianca. The couple tied the knot back in December 2022, just one month after he finalised his divorce from Kim. Bryce and Mikaela went public with their romance in November of that year.
Kanye has also faced an intense backlash over claims he is "controlling" Bianca. It's believed the Flashing Lights hitmaker has a set of rules Bianca has to follow including specific foods she can eat and to "never speak".
"Kanye has a set of rules for Bianca, which includes never speak and wear what he wants her to wear," a source said. Speaking to the Daily Mail, they added: "She is also required to eat certain food items and to work out even though Kanye doesn’t work out."
They claimed Bianca now has "no mind of her own" and "obeys" her husband because he has "convinced her that they are royal". Her friends are said to have tried staging an intervention to help Bianca, but it seems nothing has worked.
