Bianca Censori’s – Bianca Censori posted birthday tributes to Ye for his June 8 birthday, including an early, now-deleted Instagram Story image showing what many fans thought might be her and Ye “lip-locking” through shower glass. But the first photo quickly triggered backlash a
On Sunday, June 7, Bianca Censori posted on her Instagram Story to celebrate Ye’s birthday on June 8.
The tributes started quickly—at least in the way fans saw them. In an initial. now-deleted post. Censori shared a photo of herself and. apparently. Ye lip-locking through what appears to be shower glass. Hours later. she followed up with a full photo of Ye and a caption saying she loves him more than life.
But that first shower-glass image became the center of the internet’s attention.
Social media users flooded TSR’s comment section with doubts about whether the man in the first picture even looked like Ye. Instagram user @moraaleigh wrote, “That don’t even look like ye in the first pic 🥴,” while @kendral0ve added, “That’s not Kanye in the first pic.”
Other fans echoed the same confusion. @viva_glam_kay said, “I’m so confused with the first picture lol,” and @niseyrae wrote, “I don’t know a lot, but I know that’s not Kanye lolol.”
Some commenters suggested they were so unsure they couldn’t place the person at all. @lynelle.jannar asked, “who tf is that??” and @tiamoyastewart wrote, “Idk if that’s Kanye… His beard don’t look like that.”
Even among those reacting to the caption, the first photo remained a problem. @kaylaarobinsonn posted, “I never want to love a man more than life but hbd,” while @so_raquel reacted with, “I love you more than life is crazy 😂.”
A handful of fans leaned into the “who is that?” energy—like @definitelypaid, who wrote, “Let me put this b***t down I thought this was Kourtney Kardashian and Kevin Durant.”
Meanwhile, @brandonmichealhall said, “I’m glad we’re on all the same page on the first pic cause,” and @beau_beau_mac added, “That kinda doesn’t look like Kanye from this angle ! Am I tripping ??!! 😭😩.”
The birthday posts also pulled in a familiar wave of attention to the West family. Months before Censori posted this Ye birthday message. she and North West made headlines together after photos and clips surfaced of the West kids out at Disney with Ye and Bianca Censori. In that December 2025 moment, North caught cameras and online chatter with her facial expressions.
Censori’s June 8 tribute may have been meant for love, but the first image—shot through shower glass, and deleted before the story could fully settle—left fans stuck on the same question: was it really Ye in that frame?
