According to a source from Page Six, Kanye West and Bianca Censori were escorted out of the "Grammy 2025" ceremony after their shocking red carpet debut.

An insider explained that police removed the couple following a "crazy moment when they stepped onto the carpet in outfits" that were reportedly "an attempt to recreate the cover of the album 'Vultures'."
