Kanye West paid for Bianca Censori to go to rehab

Kanye West paid for Bianca Censori's treatment

Kanye West paid for Bianca Censori to go to rehab because she needed to "work" on herself.

The 31 year old - who married the controversial rapper in 2022 - has opened up about the couple's relationship in a candid new interview with Vanity Fair magazine in which she revealed she spent time at a clinic in Spain because she was suffering from emotional problems and the publication reports she was "self-medicating with benzodiazepines".

In the chat, Bianca credits her musician husband with paying a "ridiculous" price for her treatment. She said: "I needed to work on myself.

"Because I had patterns of things that I would do that would not just hurt me but would hurt the people around me ...

"I put a lot of pressure on other people being the reason for my happiness or the reason for my unhappiness. I would blame someone else if I wasn’t feeling good."

She declared rehab "changed my life," adding: "How was I a completely different person? I was very emotionally dysregulated. And I can function now."

Bianca went on to insist Kanye's decision to pay for her treatment was the best gift he could ever have bought for her.

She explained: "[I told him] 'Anything that you have ever bought me does not equate to how important this was to me'."

Kanye previously opened up about his own rehab stint at a clinic in Switzerland last year crediting Bianca with encouraging him to seek help after his behaviour spiralled out of control.

In a previously published piece in Vanity Fair, Kanye explained: "Toward the end of my four-month-long manic episode, my medication was changed. In that shift, the antipsychotic drug took me into a really deep depressive episode.

"My wife recognised that, and we sought out what’s been an effective and stabilising course correction in my regime from a rehab facility in Switzerland. You must understand bipolar is a disease. It’s one of the most lethal nonterminal illnesses."

But the 48-year-old rapper - admitted he is still trying to work out "what works" for him when it comes to the right course of medication. He said: "I’ve been put on and taken off of many medications. That’s just part of the journey ...

"I’m just trying to find what works for me so that I can continue down this positive course."

Kanye's antics included praising Adolf Hitler and selling t-shirts emblazoned with a Swastika, a notorious Nazi hate symbol, and he took out a full-page advertisement in the Wall Street Journal last week (26.01.26) to express his remorse and explain his actions were a result of a lengthy manic episode.
