Kanye West’s Super Bowl Commercial
Kanye West bought time at the Super Bowl game to air his commercial. He took a shot at the camera and said, “Hey y’all, this is Ye, and this is my commercial. And since we spent all the money on the commercial spot, we actually didn’t spend any money on the actual commercial. But the idea is, I want you to go to yeezy.com.” However, the shoe commercial did not air nationwide; it was limited to only a few states, including Miami.
Kanye West’s Relationships
After his divorce from Kim Kardashian, Kanye West married Bianca Censori. The couple married privately in December 2022, after West had gone ahead with his album Censori Overload. The sources close to the couple say that the two met on Instagram, where Ye asked Censori to work for his firm, Yeezy. The duo was clicked at multiple events and walked hand in hand for dates. The two have, however, not yet filed for a marriage certificate.
Vultures by Kanye West also hints at the duo’s relationship and mentions the scandalous boat ride to Italy. The incident led the boat company to ban the rapper for improper presentation.
