Kanye West is interested in obtaining the rights to a potential book concerning Bianca Censori shortly after their surprising encounter at the Grammys.
Legal documents, as per TMZ, reveal that the 47-year-old musician’s company, Ox Paha Inc., has submitted a trademark application for the term ‘Wife By Husband.’
It is reported that West aims to utilize this trademark for various genres of printed material, such as biographies, non-fiction, and picture books.
In 2018, he announced plans to write a philosophy book entitled Break the Simulation with his interior designer, Axel Vervoordt.
At the time, he said the book would focus on art and spirituality and why society loves photographs.
Later, he clarified that he would be sharing his work ‘in real time’ on X (then-Twitter).
Kanye West is reportedly looking to get the rights to what ‘appears to be a book’ about Bianca Censori just days after their shocking Grammys red carpet moment
In 2015, his then-wife, Kim Kardashian, released a coffee table book, titled Selfish, which featured new selfies and pictures from her social media accounts.
At age 20, the Heartless hitmaker, who is is considered one of the most influential and successful rappers of all time, received a scholarship to attend Chicago’s American Academy of Art in 1997.
After transferring to Chicago State University to study English, he dropped out to pursue his musical career.
A few years later, he released his first studio album, The College Dropout (2004), which debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 and became certified double-platinum by the RIAA that same year.
In addition to his lucrative rap career, he is a record producer, singer, songwriter, and fashion designer.
He also has his own fashion line, Yeezy, which has generated billions in sales.
Months after finalizing his high-profile divorce from Kardashian in 2022, Ye walked down the aisle with Censori and they have been causing controversy ever since.
Most recently, the couple shocked the world after she bared it all in a completely see-through nude mesh dress worn without underwear at the Grammy Awards.

The father-of-four would like to ‘use the trademark for different types of printed books’ including biographies, non-fiction and picture books, according to TMZ (Censori pictured in a since-deleted Instagram post)
On Tuesday, a source close to her husband told the New York Post claimed that Censori was ‘talked into’ wearing her shocking nude dress.
‘She would have much rather worn a pretty dress,’ said the source. ‘She would have enjoyed the evening a lot more.’
West is said to have lost a $20 million deal to play in Japan as a result of his controversial stunt.
A source said: ‘Kanye is just ****ing up every opportunity that comes to him. The stunt was creepy beyond belief and has been greeted with horror in Japan.’
He added: ‘Japan is having a cultural awakening about women’s rights and the MeToo movement is really strong here. What he did is being seen as an act of coercive control which is utterly unacceptable. He has completely culturally misjudged Japan.’

This is unfortunate as he has been living in a hotel in Tokyo for most of the last year.
A source said: ‘The investors in Japan who are backing the concerts are extremely upset by this. It is highly likely that they will pull the funding for the shows.
‘He has greatly misjudged the tolerance of the Japanese people towards these activities. He’s just not welcome any more.
‘This will be a big blow for him because he has been living in Japan for around a year now, almost full time, and I guess he did not see this coming.’
There is also fury among his American colleagues and backers over the stunt which was pulled in front of billboards asking for charitable donations to aid those who lost their homes and their lives in the wildfires in Los Angeles earlier this month.
One said: ‘This was totally disrespectful to the Grammys. To pull a stunt at what is essentially a fundraiser and in the context of what has been going on in LA is almost inconceivably stupid, crass and wrong.’
‘It’s a **** up on a huge scale, but all that Kanye is interested in at the moment is launching his cryptocurrency, and everything else seems to pass him by.
The artist, who goes by Ye, was meant to launch a new album, Bully, before Christmas.

He has been working on it with sound engineers since the summer of last year. However it’s yet to come out and I’m told that it is now ‘indefinitely delayed’ because he is not happy with it.
Kanye has hit out at outrage to the stunt as he dismissed the ceremony as ‘boring’ and called Bianca’s outfit ‘art.’
‘People have called this a stunt but to Ye this is his art,’ a source told The Sun.
‘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.
‘Ye always planned to do the red carpet and leave — he’d never sit through the Grammys because it’s so dull and boring.’
The rapper was seen issuing commands to Censori during the brief red carpet appearance. A lip reader, Nicola Hickling, says that he told Censori, wearing a black fur coat over a mesh ensemble with no underwear: ‘You’re making a scene now.’
She nodded her head and he told her: ‘Make a scene, I’ll say it’ll make so much sense.’ He added: ‘Drop it behind you and then turn, I got you.’ She then tells him: ‘Alright, let’s go.’
