Kanye West has broken his silence following reports of his divorce from Bianca Censori, but his statement has left many feeling unsettled.  

On Thursday, West posted a cryptic message on Instagram, sharing the definition of "coercion" just an hour after news emerged about the end of his marriage to Censori.  

According to Daily Mail, the now-deleted post was captioned "is the coercion" and displayed a definition that stated:  

"Coercion is the act of forcing someone to do something against their will through threats or intimidation. It can involve physical harm, psychological abuse, extortion, blackmail, or sexual assault."  

West removed the post within minutes, fueling speculation about its meaning and whether it was a subtle reference to his brief marriage with Censori.  

As reported by The Blast, West and Censori are allegedly moving forward with their divorce just 11 days after her controversial appearance at the Grammys, where she shed her fur coat to reveal a completely sheer dress. Insiders claim that the couple has verbally agreed on a $5 million settlement for Censori as part of their separation.  

A source close to West has confirmed that the two have already gone their separate ways, with an official legal filing expected in the coming days to finalize the divorce.  

While Censori continues to stay at their $35 million mansion in Beverly Park North, Los Angeles, West’s current location remains unclear. However, reports suggest he may be preparing to return to Tokyo, Japan, where he spent a significant portion of last year residing in a hotel.  

Speculation about tensions between them grew after Censori’s controversial appearance at the Grammys on February 2. During the event, she was reportedly uncomfortable as West allegedly directed her to remove her fur coat and “make a scene” on the red carpet.
