Moments earlier, he appeared to instruct her to remove her black fur coat to reveal her naked body.
It was claimed that Kanye, 47, and Bianca, 30, were then asked to leave the Los Angeles awards ceremony amid concerns her outfit could be classed as indecent exposure.
But those close to the Gold Digger rapper, who has won 24 Grammys in his career and is also known as Ye, insisted they left of their own accord and slammed the ceremony as “boring”.
An insider said yesterday: “Ye always planned to do the red carpet and leave — he’d never sit through the Grammys because it’s so dull and boring.

“People have called this a stunt but to Ye this is his art.
“He turned up, made headlines around the world and left. No one told him what to do and even if they had, he wouldn’t have listened.”
Before they left, Kanye appeared to have angry words with an organiser.
Sources alleged telly network CBS, filming the event, had warned his team that he could be fined because of the obscene outfit.

Meanwhile, concerned fans questioned Kanye’s conduct towards Bianca.
A lip reader claimed that after arriving on the red carpet at LA’s Crypto.com arena, he turned to the Australian model and said: “Make a scene, I’ll say it’ll make so much sense.”

He then is said to have told her: “Drop it behind you and then turn, I got you,” before Bianca lowered her coat to reveal her naked body covered by a sheer dress.
Fans watching coverage at home were aghast, with one writing on X: “Somebody needs to save Bianca.
“She doesn’t look happy at all, like she’s forced.”
Another wrote: “Nobody consented to seeing her literal vagina. I feel it’s like an unsolicited d**k pic?
“If a man did it, he’d be arrested? What the f**k is even happening.”
Those close to the pair, together for two years, said they were not fazed by the fresh controversy.
They added: “Bianca was loving life and had a great time.
“She’s a muse for Ye and there’s no coercion involved. This is what Ye does, he makes a statement and the whole world talks about it.”
Bianca and Kanye, who has sold more than 160 million records, stayed at the Grammys for just 30 minutes.
He was invited as a nominee for Best Rap Song but was long gone by the time his track Carnival lost out to rival Kendrick Lamar.
They drove off in Kanye’s $500,000 chrome Mercedes Maybach and later partied until 1.45am.
An insider added: “Ye and Bianca went to get food before going to a party.
“They had a great time together and were dancing with their friends.
“Bianca was saying how much she had enjoyed herself and you could tell Ye was happy.”
This was not the first time Kanye, previously wed to Kim Kardashian, and Bianca have caused a public outcry with their behaviour.
She is a muse for Ye and there is no coercion involved
This isn’t the first time Kanye and Bianca have caused public outcry with their behaviour.
In 2023 they were banned from a tour boat company in Venice, Italy, after it was claimed Bianca performed a public sex act on Kanye.
Venezia Turismo Motoscafi said: “We completely dissociate ourselves from such acts and behaviour. Mr West and his wife will certainly no longer be welcome on board our company’s boats.”
Meanwhile, actor Will Smith got a mixed reaction from fans after his first awards show appearance since his infamous Oscars slap in 2022.
Will, 56, who is relaunching his singing career, presented a tribute to music producer Quincy Jones, who died in November aged 91.
He said: “You probably wouldn’t even know who Will Smith was if it wasn’t for Quincy Jones.”
Will, with his children Willow, 24, and Jaden, 26, is banned from the Oscars for slapping comedian host Chris Rock on stage.
One fan tweeted: “When you physically assault a fellow artist, on stage no less, you should not be honoured with an appearance on the Grammys.”
Another reckoned: “How is Will Smith at the Grammys?
